Unit testing

As of StatusNet 0.9, some unit tests live in the 'tests' directory in the source tree.

Currently these mainly cover linking checks:

• HashTagDetectionTests.php
• URLDetectionTest.php

Requirements

• command-line PHP environment
• PHPUnit; quick install if you have PEAR set up:

  pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de

  pear install phpunit/PHPUnit

Running the tests

• phpunit URLDetectionTest.php
• phpunit HashTagDetectionTests.php

If you get no output, check if your config.php is looking for a 'LACONICA' constant and try changing it to 'STATUSNET'.

('make test' coming soon? :D)
