README

The civicrm-upgrade-test suite provides a set of sample databases which can be used for testing upgrade-logic.

Scope

To facilitate testing of many databases, the current script uses the command-line-based upgrader (cv upgrade:db) and never uses the web-based UI (civicrm/upgrade). Therefore, it is appropriate for testing the database manipulations. It does not currently test for:

  • Issues in the web UI (such as browser compatibility or CMS page-loading)
  • Issues in the civicrm.settings.php
  • Issues with setup or compatibility of PHP, MySQL, etc

Pre-Requisites

  • Have a Unix-like environment (bash)
  • Install CiviCRM and cv
  • Configure the username/password for a MySQL administrator in ~/.my.cnf

Setup

## Checkout the repo
cd $HOME
git clone git://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-upgrade-test.git
cd civicrm-upgrade-test
composer install

Finding Test Cases

## Find snapshots from 5.0.0 through 5.30.0
./bin/civicrm-upgrade-examples @5.0.0..5.30.0

Running Test Cases

## Create and edit a settings file
cp examples/civicrm-upgrade-test.settings.txt civicrm-upgrade-test.settings
vi civicrm-upgrade-test.settings
## Note: The file will include comments on the configuration options

## Run the script with a single database
./bin/civicrm-upgrade-test databases/4.2.0-setupsh.sql.bz2

## Run the script with all databases
./bin/civicrm-upgrade-test databases/*.sql.bz2

## Run the script with any databases based on CiviCRM 4.0.x or 4.1.x
./bin/civicrm-upgrade-test databases/{4.0,4.1}*.sql.bz2

After executing any of the above commands, output will be written to the civicrm-upgrade-test/output directory. Examine these files to identify errors.

Creating Test Cases

To create a new test-case, one can take any CiviCRM database and dump it to a file -- as long as the CiviCRM database is separate from the Drupal database. By convention, any sharable databases should be stored in the "databases" directory and should be prefixed with a CiviCRM version number. For example:

mysqldump my_civi_db | bzip2 > databases/4.2.3-my_civi_db.sql.bz2

This is not strictly required. If you want to create private test-cases, you can store them anywhere and follow your own naming convention.
