Running the Doctrine 2 Testsuite

To execute the Doctrine2 testsuite, you just need to execute this simple steps:

• Clone the project from GitHub
• Enter the Doctrine2 folder
• Install the dependencies
• Execute the tests

All this is (normally) done with:

git clone git@github.com:doctrine/doctrine2.git
cd doctrine2
composer install
./vendor/bin/phpunit

Pre-requisites

Doctrine2 works on many database vendors; the tests can detect the presence of installed vendors, but you need at least one of those; the easier to install is SQLite.

If you're using Debian, or a Debian-derivate Linux distribution (like Ubuntu), you can install SQLite with:

sudo apt-get install sqlite

Testing Lock-Support

The Lock support in Doctrine 2 is tested using Gearman, which allows to run concurrent tasks in parallel. Install Gearman with PHP as follows:

1. Go to http://www.gearman.org and download the latest Gearman Server
2. Compile it and then call ldconfig
3. Start it up "gearmand -vvvv"
4. Install pecl/gearman by calling "gearman-beta"

You can then go into tests/ and start up two workers:

php Doctrine/Tests/ORM/Functional/Locking/LockAgentWorker.php

Then run the locking test-suite:

phpunit --configuration <myconfig.xml> Doctrine/Tests/ORM/Functional/Locking/GearmanLockTest.php

This can run considerable time, because it is using sleep() to test for the timing ranges of locks.
