<p> Unit Tests</p>
<p> Unit tests mock all dependencies and test logic in isolation. These are fast and don't need a Drupal bootstrap.</p>
<p> QueueIteratorTest (extends UnitTestCase)</p>
<p> This class implements Iterator and Countable by wrapping Drupal's queue. The tricky part is that getQueue() calls \Drupal::queue() statically, so you'll<br>
need to set up the Drupal container mock.</p>
<p> Tests:<br>
- count() returns the value from QueueInterface::numberOfItems()<br>
- valid() claims an item and returns true when an item is available<br>
- valid() returns false when claimItem() returns false<br>
- valid() injects source ID keys as top-level properties on the claimed item (this is the key behavior that makes Row validation pass)<br>
- current() returns the claimed item cast to array<br>
- current() returns null when no item is claimed<br>
- key() returns the item_id of the current item<br>
- key() returns null when no current item<br>
- next() clears the current item so the next valid() call claims a new one<br>
- rewind() releases the current item and nullifies the queue so a fresh queue is obtained on next access<br>
- rewind() does nothing when no queue or item exists<br>
- getQueue() calls createQueue() on first access<br>
- getQueue() calls garbageCollection() when queue implements QueueGarbageCollectionInterface<br>
- getQueue() does NOT call garbageCollection() when queue doesn't implement that interface</p>
<p> QueueItemDeleteSubscriberTest (extends UnitTestCase)</p>
<p> This is straightforward — it's a small event subscriber.</p>
<p> Tests:<br>
- getSubscribedEvents() returns POST_ROW_SAVE mapped to onPostRowSave<br>
- onPostRowSave() calls deleteItem() on the source plugin when source is a Queue instance<br>
- onPostRowSave() does nothing when the source plugin is NOT a Queue instance (e.g., a SQL source)</p>
<p> For the "does call deleteItem" test, you'll need to mock MigratePostRowSaveEvent, the migration, and the source plugin. The source plugin mock should be a<br>
mock of the Queue class specifically so the instanceof check passes.</p>
<p> QueueSourcePluginTest (extends UnitTestCase)</p>
<p> The Queue source plugin has the most logic. Testing it in isolation requires mocking SourcePluginBase internals (migration, id map, etc.), which is doable<br>
but involved.</p>
<p> Tests for fields():<br>
- Returns base fields (data, item_id, created) when no custom fields configured<br>
- Merges associative field array (e.g., ['name' => 'The name']) into base fields<br>
- Merges sequential field array (e.g., ['name', 'email']) into base fields via array_flip</p>
<p> Tests for isArrayAssociative() (protected, test via fields() behavior or reflection):<br>
- Returns true for ['key' => 'value']<br>
- Returns false for ['a', 'b', 'c']</p>
<p> Tests for getIds():<br>
- Returns the keys configuration value directly</p>
<p> Tests for __toString():<br>
- Returns the queue_name configuration value</p>
<p> Tests for deleteItem():<br>
- Gets the queue by name from the row's queue_name property<br>
- Constructs an object with item_id and calls QueueInterface::deleteItem()</p>
<p> Tests for prepareRow():<br>
- Extracts configured fields from the data source property and sets them as individual source properties on the row<br>
- Non-field properties are temporarily nulled during hash calculation (verify by checking that parent prepareRow is called while non-fields are null, then<br>
they're restored after)<br>
- Calls deleteItem() when parent prepareRow() returns false<br>
- Calls deleteItem() when needsProcessing() returns false<br>
- Does NOT call deleteItem() when row needs processing</p>
<p> Tests for needsProcessing() (protected, test via prepareRow() behavior or reflection):<br>
- Returns true when id map is empty<br>
- Returns true when row needs update<br>
- Returns true when above high water<br>
- Returns true when row changed<br>
- Returns false when none of the above conditions are true</p>
<p> Tests for initializeIterator():<br>
- Returns a QueueIterator instance with correct queue name and key names</p>
<p> Kernel Tests</p>
<p> Kernel tests boot a minimal Drupal and let you test with real services.</p>
<p> QueueSourceMigrationTest (extends KernelTestBase)</p>
<p> This tests the full integration: a migration definition using the queue source, processing items through the migrate pipeline.</p>
<p> Setup:<br>
- Enable modules: migrate, migrate_source_queue, system<br>
- No entity schemas needed since we're testing the source side, not the destination<br>
- Create a migration definition programmatically or via config</p>
<p> Tests:<br>
- End-to-end: add items to a Drupal queue, run a migration with source: queue, verify items are claimed and processed<br>
- Items are deleted from the queue after successful row save (event subscriber integration)<br>
- Items that don't need processing (duplicate/unchanged) are deleted during prepareRow()<br>
- Queue garbage collection runs when the iterator initializes<br>
- rewind() releases claimed items back to the queue (important for migration rollback/restart scenarios)<br>
- Empty queue results in zero rows processed<br>
- Multiple items are processed in sequence (claim, process, delete, claim next)</p>
<p> The kernel test is the most valuable because it validates the three classes working together: QueueIterator claims items, Queue source plugin processes<br>
rows, and QueueItemDeleteSubscriber cleans up after save.</p>
<p> Priority order for implementation</p>
<p> 1. QueueItemDeleteSubscriberTest — simplest class, easiest to test, builds momentum<br>
2. QueueIteratorTest — core iteration logic, moderate complexity from the static \Drupal::queue() call<br>
3. QueueSourcePluginTest — most logic but also most mocking overhead<br>
4. QueueSourceMigrationTest (kernel) — highest value, tests the real integration</p>
<p> Notes</p>
<p> The QueueIterator::getQueue() static call to \Drupal::queue() is the main testability challenge. In unit tests, you'll mock the container. In kernel<br>
tests, the real queue service is available. If contributing upstream, it might be worth proposing that QueueIterator accept a QueueFactory via constructor<br>
instead — that would make it much easier to test and is a cleaner DI pattern.</p>
