Running the tests for Magento to using php bin/magento dev:tests:run takes a lot of time.
Is there a way to run the tests for a specific module only?

I'm a noob in (unit) testing so have mercy.

  • Have you tried looking at what the command does? I mean, in its code, perhaps it takes another argument (or list of). Oct 15, 2015 at 13:21

    @JulienLachal. Tried that. It only accepts one argument (type) that can be all, unit, integration, integration-all, static, static-all, integrity, legacy, default. And some general options like -h, -q, ... that are available for all commands. So nothing special about them

Magento 2 use phpunit framework for running test. You can run test per type and module with command:

{phpunit_executable} -c {Magentoroot}/dev/test/{type}/phpunit.xml[.dist] path/to/module/test/dir

For example:

  • to run unit test for Catalog, you need run command

    vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit -c dev/tests/unit/phpunit.xml.dist app/code/Magento/Catalog/Test/Unit/

  • to run integration test for Catalog, you need run vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit -c dev/tests/integration/phpunit.xml.dist dev/tests/integration/testsuite/Magento/Catalog

Currently only unit test moved to modules. Also static and integration integrity test is working with all magento code.

  • So generally speaking the whole automated testing is still a mess even though they officially released 2.0.0?

    @LachezarRaychev The Magento core codes is not in app/code/Magento path. Its moved to vendor/magento. Please try this command php vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit -c dev/tests/unit/phpunit.xml.dist vendor/magento/module-catalog/

kandy's answer seams like the way to go, but in the mean time I found a quick and dirty way to do it.

Copy dev/tests/unit/phpunit.xml.dist to dev/tests/unit/phpunit.xml and replace

<directory suffix="Test.php">../../../app/code/*/*/Test/Unit</directory>

with

<directory suffix="Test.php">../../../app/code/[Namespace]/[Module]/Test/Unit</directory>  

and comment out the other directory tags inside the <testsuite> tag.

When you are done, revert your changes or remove phpunit.xml.

    @Rakesh :: please try this updated command. php vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit -c dev/tests/unit/phpunit.xml.dist vendor/magento/module-catalog/ Magento's core codes is moved to vendor/magento path.

  • @SachinS. Just as I described. temporarily edit the phpunit.xml file and put the path to the module you want to test.

just to add that by using Phpstorm IDE you can define Test configuration for your module and run it separately. Running Tests in PhpStorm
