Method Detail

_assertAttributes()source protected

_assertAttributes( array $assertions , string $string , boolean $fullDebug = false , array|string $regex = '' )

Check the attributes as part of an assertTags() check.

Parameters

array $assertions
Assertions to run.
string $string
The HTML string to check.
boolean $fullDebug optional false
Whether or not more verbose output should be used.
array|string $regex optional ''
Full regexp from assertHtml

Returns

string|boolean

_getTableClassName()source protected

_getTableClassName( string $alias , array $options )

Gets the class name for the table.

Parameters

string $alias
The model to get a mock for.
array $options
The config data for the mock's constructor.

Returns

string

Throws

Cake\ORM\Exception\MissingTableClassException

_normalizePath()source protected

_normalizePath( string $path )

Normalize a path for comparison.

Parameters

string $path
Path separated by "/" slash.

Returns

string
Normalized path separated by DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.

assertEventFired()source public

assertEventFired( string $name , Cake\Event\EventManager|null $eventManager = null , string $message = '' )

Asserts that a global event was fired. You must track events in your event manager for this assertion to work

Parameters

string $name
Event name
Cake\Event\EventManager|null $eventManager optional null
Event manager to check, defaults to global event manager
string $message optional ''
Assertion failure message

assertEventFiredWith()source public

assertEventFiredWith( string $name , string $dataKey , string $dataValue , Cake\Event\EventManager|null $eventManager = null , string $message = '' )

Asserts an event was fired with data

If a third argument is passed, that value is used to compare with the value in $dataKey

Parameters

string $name
Event name
string $dataKey
Data key
string $dataValue
Data value
Cake\Event\EventManager|null $eventManager optional null
Event manager to check, defaults to global event manager
string $message optional ''
Assertion failure message

assertHtml()source public

assertHtml( array $expected , string $string , boolean $fullDebug = false )

Asserts HTML tags.

Takes an array $expected and generates a regex from it to match the provided $string. Samples for $expected:

Checks for an input tag with a name attribute (contains any non-empty value) and an id attribute that contains 'my-input':

['input' => ['name', 'id' => 'my-input']]

Checks for two p elements with some text in them:

[
  ['p' => true],
  'textA',
  '/p',
  ['p' => true],
  'textB',
  '/p'
]

You can also specify a pattern expression as part of the attribute values, or the tag being defined, if you prepend the value with preg: and enclose it with slashes, like so:

[
  ['input' => ['name', 'id' => 'preg:/FieldName\d+/']],
  'preg:/My\s+field/'
]

Important: This function is very forgiving about whitespace and also accepts any permutation of attribute order. It will also allow whitespace between specified tags.
