Release Candidates for symfony 1.3 and 1.4!

Kris Wallsmith — Tue, 17 Nov 09 11:27:00 +0100

On the heels of a fantastic BugHuntDay held over the weekend, the symfony core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of the first release candidates for versions 1.3 and 1.4.

For those of you not familiar with the release and maintenance schedules for versions 1.3 and 1.4, take a look at our earlier About symfony 1.3 and symfony 1.4 blog post.

These release candidates address a number of defects and add a few minor enhancements to the 1.3 and 1.4 branches.

Optimizations

A number of components have been further optimized for these releases. Most notable is the routing factory, which performs as much as 25% faster than just the previous 1.3 beta2 release, though your mileage may vary. The new project:optimize task also does more now, eliminating a number of filesystem reads when loading template helpers.

Widget Translations

The text used for the options in choice widgets is now passed through the widget translation mechanism. As a part of this enhancement a number of strings have been added to the translation catalogues for the Doctrine and Propel admin generators. If you've worked on translations in the past and have a few moments, please help by updating the translation strings added in this changeset.

Two More Weeks

The stable releases of both symfony 1.3 and 1.4 are scheduled to go out two weeks from now, with one more release candidate for each in the meantime. If you haven't done so yet, please take a moment to upgrade a project to symfony 1.3 or start a new one with symfony 1.4. Be sure to read through what's new, the upgrade tutorial and the list of what's been deprecated for more information on these two latest releases of symfony.

BugHuntDay Report

Stefan Koopmanschap — Mon, 16 Nov 09 21:27:00 +0100

Last saturday was the day that the PHPBenelux usergroup organized their annual BugHuntDay. This year, the focus was on symfony, which led to 4 core team members being there amongst the attendees of the day. The day was attended by 17 people in total who seemed excited to commit some time to supporting symfony, as well as a number of people in the IRC chatroom.

For the event, a seperate milestone was created in trac to keep track of the things that were fixed during the BugHuntDay and also for people to have a single place to pick their tickets from.

Now for some statistics: 28 tickets from the milestone were closed, with a couple of additional related tickets that were encountered while working on the tickets for the BugHuntDay. Out of those, 15 were marked as fixed, 5 marked as wontfix and 8 were verified and found working in the most recent version of symfony. The focus here was on symfony 1.3, however a number of tickets also touched symfony 1.2 and backports were made accordingly.

The event was a major success, thanks to the sponsor of the day, Intracto, as well as the core team members that were present. But most of all, of course, by the attendees that sacrificed some of their spare time to dig into the bowels of symfony to fix some of the open issues and get a good look at what is inside symfony.

Prepare yourself for BugHuntDay

Stefan Koopmanschap — Tue, 10 Nov 09 21:15:00 +0100

With the symfony BugHuntDay just around the corner next saturday 14th of november, it is time to have a look at what you can do to prepare yourself. Luckily, one of the PHPBenelux crew members, Thijs Feryn, has posted a tutorial on his weblog on what you can do to prepare for the BugHuntDay.

If you want to join us in Herentals, and you have not yet registered for the event, please do so now! This will help us know how many people to expect, which is especially important since the event sponsor Intracto Group will be offering free food and drinks!

If you can not make it to Herentals, don't feel bad! You can still join in on the fun. You won't need to register, but you can simply join us in the #symfony irc channel on irc.freenode.net. Throughout the day, symfony core team members will be there to help people with joining the BugHuntDay from afar. If you want to meet some of the core team members or be eligible for food and drinks, you'll have to join us in Herentals though.

We hope to see you all this saturday!

symfony 1.3 beta 2

Kris Wallsmith — Tue, 10 Nov 09 20:41:00 +0100

The core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of symfony 1.3.0 beta 2. It is available for installation over PEAR or by checkout directly from the Subversion repository. Visit the installation page for all the details.

This is the final beta release of the 1.3 branch, so there aren't too many exciting new features to announce. Our focus has been on improving the stability of the existing code base since the API was locked with the beta 1 release. More information about what's new in symfony 1.3 can be found in the what's new and upgrade tutorials.

Propel 1.4 stable

Integration with Propel 1.4, whose first stable version was just released, has been cleaned up and is now more stable and easier to customize. As Fabian mentioned earlier, the new Propel 1.4 detailed query logging mechanism is now easily configured using symfony's database configuration file.

Response Validation

The response tester, which received a new method for testing the validity of a response in the 1.3 beta 1 release, now supports XSD- and RelaxNG-based validation as well as DTD. What's more, standard DTD definitions are now bundled with symfony, eliminating the cost of external requests when running these validations.

Minor bugs were fixed in the newly-enhanced pager objects, the Propel upgrade task, and the generation of form classes based on Doctrine inheritance models.

What's Next?

We plan to have two release candidate releases before releasing the first stable version of symfony 1.3 at the end of the month. The schedule, subject to change, is as follows:

16 November: 1.3.0 RC1
23 November: 1.3.0 RC2
30 November: 1.3.0 stable

Yep, that's one release a week for the rest of the month. If you haven't done so already, please take a moment to test upgrading an existing symfony 1.2 application to 1.3. The upgrade should go smoothly at this point, but please post any issues you may encounter to Trac. Thank you for helping make this coming release the best it can be!

Lime 2 alpha released

Bernhard Schussek — Tue, 10 Nov 09 10:17:00 +0100

I am happy to announce the immediate availability of Lime 2 alpha 1! The second version of symfony's very own testing framework has been under heavy development since early July. Many exciting new features have been added since then, and now you have the opportunity to try them out!

In this blog post, I want to outline the most important new features of Lime 2.

Upgrading a Project

Upgrading a symfony project to use Lime 2 is straight forward. You simply need to replace the file lime.php that comes bundled with symfony with a symbolic link to the lime.php that comes bundled with Lime 2.

Lime 2 is nearly completely backwards compatible! The only thing that is not BC is the configuration of the harness and the coverage class. In Lime 1, this was done through public properties which have now been removed. Instead, you can pass these properties as options to the constructor.

First of all, checkout a copy of Lime 2 from SVN:

> svn co http://svn.symfony-project.com/tools/lime/tags/RELEASE_2_0_0_ALPHA1 lib/vendor/Lime2

Now you can replace symfony's lime.php. The following commands assume that symfony is installed in lib/vendor/symfony. Fix the paths if your project directory structure differs.

> cd lib/vendor/symfony/lib/vendor/lime
> mv lime.php lime.php.1.0
> ln -s ../../../../Lime2/lib/lime.php lime.php

Your done! All your tests will now use Lime 2.

Annotation Support

Often it is necessary to execute some code before every test to prepare the test bed. This code, also called the fixture setup, had to be written manually before every single test in Lime 1. To avoid this code duplication, Lime 2 features annotations to structure and control your test code.

<?php
 
require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/../boostrap/unit.php';
LimeAnnotationSupport::enable();
$t = new LimeTest(1);
 
// @Before
 
  copy('data/fixtures/test.png', 'web/uploads/test.png');
  $thumbnail = new CukeetThumbnail('web/uploads/test.png');
 
// @After
 
  unlink('web/uploads/test.png');
  unset($thumbnail);
 
// @Test: resize() resizes the thumbnail
 
  $thumbnail->resize(100, 100);
  $size = getimagesize($thumbnail->getPath());
  $t->is($size, array(100, 100), 'The image has been resized');
 
// @Test: save() saves the thumbnail under a different name
 
  $thumbnail->save();
  ...

The most important annotation is @Test. This annotation marks a piece of test code and optionally takes a comment that is printed on the console. The other annotations are @Before, @After, @BeforeAll and @AfterAll. The first two can be used to mark code that is executed before or after every test. The other two are used to mark code to be run once before or after all tests. All code following an annotation belongs to this annotation until the next one is opened.

Parallel Processing

Lime 2 includes the possibility to execute multiple tests simultaneously, taking advantage of modern multi-core processors. This way, the performance of test suite runs can be dramatically improved.

This functionality is not available from the symfony tasks yet. Instead, you need to manually setup a test suite. To do so, add the following code to a script called prove.php in the directory test/bin:

<?php
 
include dirname(__FILE__).'/../bootstrap/unit.php';
 
$h = new LimeTestSuite();
$h->register(sfFinder::type('file')->name('*Test.php')->in(dirname(__FILE__).'/..'));
 
exit($h->run() ? 0 : 1);

Execute the test suite from a console window:

> php test/bin/prove.php

All your tests should execute as usual. Now add the switch --processes to enable parallel processing:

> php test/bin/prove.php --processes=16

The performance of the test suite should be better now. We'd be happy if you shared your personal performance gain in the comments!

Powerful Mock And Stub Generation

Lime 2 features one of the most powerful yet easy to use mock and stub generators available in PHP. Usually you want to test your classes without testing any other classes that they depend on. This is why these other classes are usually replaced by fake implementations in tests, also called Mock and Stub objects. Because coding these fake implementations takes a lot of time, Lime 2 generates fake implementations for you.

To create a Stub or Mock object call stub() or mock() on your LimeTest object:

$user = $t->stub('sfUser');

The basic difference between Stubs and Mocks is that Stubs ignore any unexpected method calls by default while Mocks throw exceptions in this case.

To configure a method call, just call the method with the expected parameters. If you don't care about the parameters, pass the method name to any():

$user->setAttribute('foo');
$user->any('getAttribute');

You can configure method return values, exceptions and forward method calls to callables:

$user->getAttribute('foo')->returns('bar');
$user->getAttribute('moo')->throws('Exception');
 
function testGetAttribute($attribute) { ... }
$user->any('getAttribute')->callback('testGetAttribute');

After configuring the expected method calls, you have to call replay(). Only now your object will behave as configured. Optionally you can call verify() after executing the test to check whether all configured methods have been called.

$user = $t->mock('sfUser');
$user->getAttribute('username')->returns('bernhard');
$user->setAttribute('authorized', true);
$user->replay();
 
$form = new LoginForm($user);
// internally calls getAttribute() and setAttribute()    
$form->save();
 
$user->verify();

When you want to test exactly how often a method was called, use either of the count constraints:

$user->getAttribute('foo')->never();
$user->getAttribute('foo')->once();
$user->getAttribute('foo')->atLeastOnce();
$user->getAttribute('foo')->times(3);
$user->getAttribute('foo')->between(2, 5);

If you want to test single method parameters, use parameter() with any of the test operators (like is(), like() etc.) available in LimeTest:

$mailer = $t->mock('sfMailer');
$mailer->any('compose')
       ->parameter(2)->is('bernhard.schussek@symfony-project.com')
       ->parameter(4)->like('/Your activation code is ABCXYZ/')
       ->returns($message = $t->stub('Swift_Message'));
$mailer->send($message);

More information about the Mock and Stub generator will be available in the upcoming documentation.

Test Operator Overloading

If you ever tried comparing two Doctrine objects with is(), you have probably seen that the tests almost always fail.

$user = new User();
$user->fromArray(array('username' => 'bernhard'));
$user->save();
 
$result = Doctrine::getTable('User')->findOneByUsername('bernhard');
 
$t->is($result, $user, 'The correct user was returned');

The problem is (from a testing point of view) that Doctrine stores a lot of metadata in the records that differ from record to record, even if both contain the same properties, primary key and relations.

Lime 2 features support for overloading the test operators for specific data types. You can implement your own "tester" class that specifies when the operator should match for a value of this type.

class myTesterDoctrineRecord extends LimeTesterObject
{
  /**
   * Matches when two Doctrine records have the same primary key,
   * attributes and relations.
   */
  public function is(LimeTester $otherValue) { ... }
}
 
LimeTester::register('Doctrine_Record', 'myTesterDoctrineRecord');
 
$t->is($result, $user, 'The correct user was returned');

The supported datatypes are null, integer, boolean, string, double, array, object, resource and any class or interface name of your choice.

What's Next?

Many more features were added to Lime 2. These will be explained in further blog posts and the upcoming documentation. In the next weeks, a CLI tool for executing Lime tests in a developer friendly way will be implemented, which is the last major planned feature before entering beta stage.

Lime 2 is expected to enter beta stage in December or January 2010, depending on the amount of developer feedback on the alpha releases.

Using Propel 1.4 detailed logging

Fabian Lange — Sun, 08 Nov 09 21:22:00 +0100

Today Propel 1.4 was released and it contains some debugging goodies. We can use the DebugPDO class to get the nifty logging into the Web Debug Panel. However some more interesting information is turned off by default by Propel. It includes:

Time logging
- Time spent for executing this query
Memory logging
- Peak Usage during execution of the query
- Total Memory usage after the query ran
- Memory Delta caused by executing the query
Slow query logging
- Duration after which a query is considered slow

Using this is very easy as of today / symfony 1.3 beta 2:

dev:
  propel:
    param:
      classname: DebugPDO
      debug:
        realmemoryusage: true
        details:
          time:
            enabled: true
          slow:
            enabled: true
            threshold: 0.001
          memdelta:
            enabled: true
          mempeak:
            enabled: true
          method:
            enabled: true
          mem:
            enabled: true
          querycount:
            enabled: true

The whole list can be found in the Propel Documentation. The prefix debugpdo.logging is taken care of by the key debug. Simply put the remaining path below it, creating a new nesting level each dot.

Because Propel takes the order into account, the above configuration results into something like this:

Symfony presence at PHPBarcelona Conference

Stefan Koopmanschap — Wed, 28 Oct 09 00:24:00 +0100

This week on friday 30 and saturday 31 October, the PHPBarcelona Conference takes place in Barcelona. During this conference, symfony will be represented by two core team members: Fabien Potencier will speak about Symfony 2 and Stefan Koopmanschap will present his "Integrating symfony and Zend Framework" talk. If you are in the area or interested in these and many other topics, then you are recommended to come by!

The conference takes place at the Citilab building and the schedule looks excellent. Aside from Fabien and Stefan speaking, there's a multitude of excellent speakers such as Rasmus Lerdorf, Derick Rethans, Lorna Mitchell, Damien Seguy, David Zuelke, Lars Jankowfsky, Sebastian Bergmann and many more. Tickets are only 50 euro for the full conference or 30 euro for a single day admission.

If you are at the conference, come and say hi, discuss symfony and other topics, ask questions, or just hang out with fellow (symfony) community members.

Are you also speaking about symfony at a conference or user group meeting? We are planning to do more regular event posts on the blog. Send an e-mail to Stefan.Koopmanschap - at - symfony-project - dot - org with the information on your presentation and at what event you are presenting, so that we can notify the community of your presentation.
