Debug Email Messages In Drupal

Eine praktische Lösung für das Debuggen von E-Mail Nachrichten mit Drupal ist der Einsatz von Devel und hook_mail_alter().

function module_name_mail_alter(&$message) {
 dpm($message);
 // If you don’t want email messages to go out of your website at all
 $message['to'] = '';
}

Drupal: Continuous Integration

Sacha Chua über Drush, Simpletest, und continuous integration für Drupal mit Jenkins.

I’m a big fan of automated testing because I hate doing repetitive work. Automated tests also let me turn software development into a game, with clearly defined goalposts and a way to keep score. Automated tests can be a handy way of creating lots of data so that I can manually test a site set up the way I want it to be. I like doing test-driven development: write the test first, then write the code that passes it.

Über Jenkins höre ich in letzter Zeit häufiger nur gute Dinge, ich sollte mir das mal ansehen.
