[zf2 beta5] Solving dependencies in unit tests for View Helpers

[Jonathan Maron]

Hello all

In the setUp() method of the unit tests for View Helpers, which have a
dependency on another View Helper, I could use
HelperLoader::addStaticMap to inject the dependency into the component
under test, in zf2 prior to beta5, like this:

protected function setUp()
{
    HelperLoader::addStaticMap(array(
        'mailto' => 'My\View\Helper\Mailto',
    ));

    $this->view = new PhpRenderer();

    $this->helper = new Imprint();
    $this->helper->setView($this->view);
}

The View Helper "Imprint" returns HTML, which includes the HTML of (an
obfuscated) e-mail address. The View Helper "mailto" offers the
functionality to return the formatted e-mail address.

What is the best approach to do this in ZF2 beta5?

TIA

I have a Google Analytics module, depending on the InlineScript helper to inject the javascript. The module (SlmGoogleAnalytics) is completely tested and runs also on Travis. Check out my repository: https://github.com/juriansluiman/SlmGoogleAnalytics

Especially the test for the view helper might be interesting for you: https://github.com/juriansluiman/SlmGoogleAnalytics/blob/master/tests/SlmGoogleAnalyticsTest/View/Helper/GoogleAnalyticsTest.php

Like you, I also instantiate a view helper, then inject the PhpRenderer with $helper->setView($view); You can also register another view helper by the PhpRenderer's plugin manager:

use Foo\View\Helper as FooHelper;

use Zend\View\Renderer\PhpRenderer;

$helper = new FooHelper();

$view = new PhpRenderer();

$manager = $view->getHelperPluginManager();

$manager->setService('myCustomHelper', $helper);

Hello Jurian

Thank you very much for your suggestion.

This has solved the issue I was experiencing.
