Bonus II - Unit and Integration Tests

Unit testing the different parts of the application is easy. In most cases we have single purpose classes and functions that can be tested without mocking.

Testing Aggregate functions

Aggregate functions are pure which makes them easy to test. php-engine-skeleton provides some test helpers in tests/BaseTestCase.php, so, if you extend from that base class, you're ready to go. Add a the folders Domain/Model in tests and a class BuildingTest with the following content:

<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

namespace MyServiceTest\Domain\Model;

use MyService\Domain\Api\Command;
use MyService\Domain\Api\Event;
use MyService\Domain\Api\Payload;
use MyServiceTest\UnitTestCase;
use Ramsey\Uuid\Uuid;
use MyService\Domain\Model\Building;

final class BuildingTest extends UnitTestCase
{
    private $buildingId;
    private $buildingName;
    private $username;

    protected function setUp(): void
    {
        $this->buildingId = Uuid::uuid4()->toString();
        $this->buildingName = 'Acme Headquarters';
        $this->username = 'John';

        parent::setUp();
    }

    /**
     * @test
     */
    public function it_checks_in_a_user()
    {
        //Prepare expected aggregate state
        $state = Building\State::fromArray([
            Building\State::BUILDING_ID => $this->buildingId,
            Building\State::NAME => $this->buildingName
        ]);

        //Use test helper UnitTestCase::makeCommand() to construct command
        $command = $this->makeCommand(Command::CHECK_IN_USER, [
            Building\State::BUILDING_ID => $this->buildingId,
            Building\State::NAME => $this->username,
        ]);

        //Aggregate functions yield events, we have to collect them with a test helper
        $events = $this->collectNewEvents(
            Building::checkInUser($state, $command)
        );

        //Another test helper to assert that list of recorded events contains given event
        $this->assertRecordedEvent(Event::USER_CHECKED_IN, [
            Payload::BUILDING_ID => $this->buildingId,
            Payload::NAME => $this->username
        ], $events);
    }
}

You can run tests with:

docker-compose run php php vendor/bin/phpunit -vvv

Testing Projectors

Testing projectors is also easy when they use the DocumentStore API to manage projections. Event Engine ships with an InMemoryDocumentStore implementation that works great in test cases. Here is an example:

tests/Domain/Projector/UserBuildingListTest.php

<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

namespace MyServiceTest\Domain\Projector;

use EventEngine\DocumentStore\Filter\AnyFilter;
use MyService\Domain\Api\Event;
use MyService\Domain\Api\Payload;
use MyService\Domain\Api\Projection;
use MyService\Domain\Projector\UserBuildingList;
use MyServiceTest\UnitTestCase;

final class UserBuildingListTest extends UnitTestCase
{
    const PRJ_VERSION = '0.1.0';
    const BUILDING_ID = '7c5f0c8a-54f2-4969-9596-b5bddc1e9421';
    const USERNAME1 = 'John';
    const USERNAME2 = 'Jane';

    /**
     * @var UserBuildingList
     */
    private $projector;

    protected function setUp(): void
    {
        parent::setUp();

        //DocumentStore is set up in parent::setUp()
        $this->projector = new UserBuildingList($this->documentStore);
        $this->projector->prepareForRun(
            self::PRJ_VERSION,
            Projection::USER_BUILDING_LIST
        );
    }

    /**
     * @test
     */
    public function it_manages_list_of_users_with_building_reference()
    {
        $collection = UserBuildingList::generateCollectionName(
            self::PRJ_VERSION,
            Projection::USER_BUILDING_LIST
        );

        $johnCheckedIn = $this->makeEvent(Event::USER_CHECKED_IN, [
            Payload::BUILDING_ID => self::BUILDING_ID,
            Payload::NAME => self::USERNAME1
        ]);

        $this->projector->handle(
            self::PRJ_VERSION,
            Projection::USER_BUILDING_LIST,
            $johnCheckedIn
        );

        $users = iterator_to_array($this->documentStore->findDocs(
            $collection,
            new AnyFilter()
        ));

        $this->assertEquals($users, [
            'John' => ['buildingId' => self::BUILDING_ID]
        ]);

        $janeCheckedIn = $this->makeEvent(Event::USER_CHECKED_IN, [
            Payload::BUILDING_ID => self::BUILDING_ID,
            Payload::NAME => self::USERNAME2
        ]);

        $this->projector->handle(
            self::PRJ_VERSION,
            Projection::USER_BUILDING_LIST,
            $janeCheckedIn
        );

        $users = iterator_to_array($this->documentStore->findDocs(
            $collection,
            new AnyFilter()
        ));

        $this->assertEquals($users, [
            'John' => ['buildingId' => self::BUILDING_ID],
            'Jane' => ['buildingId' => self::BUILDING_ID],
        ]);

        $johnCheckedOut = $this->makeEvent(Event::USER_CHECKED_OUT, [
            Payload::BUILDING_ID => self::BUILDING_ID,
            Payload::NAME => self::USERNAME1
        ]);

        $this->projector->handle(
            self::PRJ_VERSION,
            Projection::USER_BUILDING_LIST,
            $johnCheckedOut
        );

        $users = iterator_to_array($this->documentStore->findDocs(
            $collection,
            new AnyFilter()
        ));

        $this->assertEquals($users, [
            'Jane' => ['buildingId' => self::BUILDING_ID],
        ]);
    }
}

Testing Resolvers

Resolvers can be tested in the same manner as projectors, using the InMemoryDocumentStore with test data. I will leave implementing these tests as an exercise for you ;)

Integration Tests

If you want to test the "whole thing" then you can extend your test class from IntegrationTestCase. It sets up Event Engine with an InMemoryEventStore and an InMemoryDocumentStore. A special PSR-11 MockContainer ensures that all other services are mocked. Let's see it in action. The annotated integration test should be self explanatory.

tests/Integration/NotifySecurityTest.php

<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

namespace MyServiceTest\Integration;

use EventEngine\Messaging\Message;
use MyService\Domain\Api\Command;
use MyService\Domain\Api\Event;
use MyService\Domain\Api\Payload;
use MyService\System\UiExchange;
use MyServiceTest\IntegrationTestCase;

final class NotifySecurityTest extends IntegrationTestCase
{
    const BUILDING_ID = '7c5f0c8a-54f2-4969-9596-b5bddc1e9421';
    const BUILDING_NAME = 'Acme Headquarters';
    const USERNAME = 'John';

    private $uiExchange;

    protected function setUp(): void
    {
        parent::setUp();

        //Mock UiExchange with an anonymous class that keeps track of the last received message
        $this->uiExchange = new class implements UiExchange {

            private $lastReceivedMessage;

            public function __invoke(Message $event): void
            {
                $this->lastReceivedMessage = $event;
            }

            public function lastReceivedMessage(): Message
            {
                return $this->lastReceivedMessage;
            }
        };

        // Mocks are passed to EE set up method
        // The IntegrationTestCase loads all EE descriptions
        // and uses the configured Flavour (PrototypingFlavour in our case)
        // to set up Event Engine
        $this->setUpEventEngine([
            UiExchange::class => $this->uiExchange,
        ]);

        /**
         * We can pass fixtures to the database set up:
         *
         * Stream to events map:
         *
         * [streamName => Event[]]
         *
         * Collection to documents map:
         *
         * [collectionName => [docId => doc]]
         */
        $this->setUpDatabase([
            // We use the default write model stream in the buildings app
            // and add a history for the test building
            // aggregate state is derived from history automatically during set up
            $this->eventEngine->writeModelStreamName() => [
                $this->makeEvent(Event::BUILDING_ADDED, [
                    Payload::BUILDING_ID => self::BUILDING_ID,
                    Payload::NAME => self::BUILDING_NAME
                ]),
                $this->makeEvent(Event::USER_CHECKED_IN, [
                    Payload::BUILDING_ID => self::BUILDING_ID,
                    Payload::NAME => self::USERNAME
                ]),
            ]
        ]);
    }

    /**
     * @test
     */
    public function it_detects_double_check_in_and_notifies_security()
    {
        //Try to check in John twice
        $checkInJohn = $this->makeCommand(Command::CHECK_IN_USER, [
            Payload::BUILDING_ID => self::BUILDING_ID,
            Payload::NAME => self::USERNAME
        ]);

        $this->eventEngine->dispatch($checkInJohn);

        //The IntegrationTestCase sets up an in-memory queue (accessible by $this->eventQueue)
        //You can inspect published events or simply process the queue
        //so that event listeners get invoked like our mocked UiExchange listener
        $this->processEventQueueWhileNotEmpty();

        //Now $this->lastPublishedEvent should point to the event received by UiExchange mock
        $this->assertNotNull($this->uiExchange->lastReceivedMessage());

        $this->assertEquals(Event::DOUBLE_CHECK_IN_DETECTED, $this->uiExchange->lastReceivedMessage()->messageName());

        $this->assertEquals([
            Payload::BUILDING_ID => self::BUILDING_ID,
            Payload::NAME => self::USERNAME
        ], $this->uiExchange->lastReceivedMessage()->payload());
    }
}

With a solid test suite in place, we can safely start refactoring our code towards a rich domain model. The next bonus part introduces stricter types for state and messages.
