How can i override user attribute in my functional test?

Gordon Franke — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 13:34:02 +0000

Some times your code depend on a user attribute, so you want set the user attribute in your functional test.

The Problem is that the doCall method in the sfBrowser class rebuild the context and in the end calls theshutdown method from user and storage object to write the session data.

So you must create your own Browser class and override the doCall function and simple move the shutdown calls to the beginning.

Browser Class:

class myBrowser extends sfBrowser
{
  /**
   * Calls a request to a uri.
   */
  protected function doCall()
  {
    // manually shutdown user to save current session data
    if (isset($this->context) AND $this->context->getUser())
    {
      $this->context->getUser()->shutdown();
      $this->context->getStorage()->shutdown();
    }
 
    // recycle our context object
    $this->context = $this->getContext(true);
 
    sfConfig::set('sf_test', true);
 
    // we register a fake rendering filter
    sfConfig::set('sf_rendering_filter', array('sfFakeRenderingFilter', null));
 
    $this->resetCurrentException();
 
    // dispatch our request
    ob_start();
    $this->context->getController()->dispatch();
    $retval = ob_get_clean();
 
    // append retval to the response content
    $this->context->getResponse()->setContent($retval);
  }
}

Test code:

include dirname(__FILE__).'/../../bootstrap/functional.php';
 
$browser = new sfTestFunctional(new myBrowser());
 
$browser->
  get('/site-one');
 
// override the session data
$browser->getUser()->setAttribute('key', $value);
 
$browser->
  get('/site-one');

Symfony and doctrine compiled version

Gordon Franke — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 16:26:17 +0000

In a new symfony project i have tested the doctrine compiled version. since 1.3.7 symfony support this.

http://www.symfony-project.org/blog/2010/09/22/symfony-1-3-7-1-4-7

I have learned two things

first when you compile doctrine use the –driver option. with mysql you can save ~15% file size.

Second use Doctrine_Core not Doctrine. The class Doctrine is deprecated and not in the compiled file. So you get a fatal error.
To fix the class name automatically see:

How can i use field credentials for symfony admin generator forms?

Gordon Franke — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 14:25:36 +0000

When you would restrict the display of a field or fieldset group on user credential. you must do the following

1. open the action class and add

public function preExecute()
{
  parent::preExecute();
 
  $this->configuration->setUser($this->getUser());
}

2. open the *GeneratorConfiguration class and add

protected $user;
 
public function setUser($user)
{
  $this->user = $user;
}
 
public function getUser()
{
  return $this->user;
}
 
public function getEditDisplay()
{
  $fieldsets = parent::getEditDisplay();
  if (!$this->getUser()->hasCredential('admin'))
  {
    unset(
      $fieldsets['Auth'][2], // field
      $fieldsets['Rights']   // field group
    );
  }
 
  return $fieldsets;
}
 
public function getNewDisplay()
{
  ... // see getEditDisplay
}
 
public function getFormOptions()
{
  return array('user' => $this->getUser());
}

3. last remove the fields from the form, open the *Form class and add

public function configure()
{
  ...
  if (!$this->getOption('user')->hasCredential('admin'))
  {
    unset($this['is_super_admin'], $this['groups_list'], $this['permissions_list']);
  }
  ...
}

How can i automatic add ids to my trans-unit nodes in my XML Xliff Tanslation files?

Gordon Franke — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 11:01:49 +0000

When you validate you XML Xliff file you have often the problem that a trans-unit node has no or a already existing id. So i have wrote a small script for that problem.

fix_id.php


 
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->load($argv[1]);
 
$xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);
 
$query = '//trans-unit';
 
$entries = $xpath->query($query);
foreach ($entries as $i => $entry) {
    $entry->setAttribute('id', $i+1);
}
 
$doc->save($argv[1]);

Execute the following command in your symfony1 root directory

for FILE in `find apps/*/i18n -name *\.xml`; do php fix_id.php $FILE; done;

How can i simple mark all required form fields in symfony 1.3?

Gordon Franke — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 22:08:46 +0000

Create a function in your BaseForm class

public static function listenToPostConfigure($event)
{
  $form            = $event->getSubject();
  $widgetSchema    = $form->getWidgetSchema();
  $validatorSchema = $form->getValidatorSchema();
 
  $fields = $form->getFormFieldSchema()->getWidget()->getFields();
  foreach ($fields as $key => $object)
  {
    $label = $form->getFormFieldSchema()->offsetGet($key)->renderLabelName();
    if (isset($validatorSchema[$key]) and $validatorSchema[$key]->getOption('required') == true)
    {
      $title  = $key . '_field_is_required';
      $label .= '^{getFormFormatter()->translate($title) . '}">*';
    }
    $widgetSchema->setLabel($key, $label);
  }
}

Add a listener to the form.post_configure event with your function

1 2	$dispatcher = $this->getEventDispatcher(); $dispatcher->connect('form.post_configure', array('BaseForm', 'listenToPostConfigure'));

Change from Doctrine to Doctrine_Core with one command

Gordon Franke — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 11:54:50 +0000

To change all your code from Doctrine to Doctrine_Core you can use the following command

1	for fl in `find apps/ config/ lib/ test/ -name *.php`; do mv $fl $fl.old; sed 's/Doctrine::/Doctrine_Core::/g' $fl.old > $fl; rm -f $fl.old; done

When you have a plugin you can use this command

1	for fl in `find . -name *.php`; do mv $fl $fl.old; sed 's/Doctrine::/Doctrine_Core::/g' $fl.old > $fl; rm -f $fl.old; done
