Use this skill when the user asks to generate, write, or create migration tests for a Shopware 6 migration class — phrases like "generate migration tests", "write a migration test", "create migration test", "test this migration", "test Migration1234Foo". Analyzes the source migration's SQL operations to pick an appropriate pattern (schema-add, schema-remove, data-update, config, mail template), then generates a test that runs against a real database and passes PHPStan and PHPUnit validation. Do NOT activate for unit tests (use phpunit-unit-test-writing) or integration tests of non-migration source classes (use phpunit-integration-test-generation).

PHPUnit Migration Test Generation

Generate Shopware-compliant PHPUnit migration tests that pass PHPStan and PHPUnit validation.

File Write Restrictions

Write ONLY to:

  • tests/migration/** — Migration test files

NEVER write to:

  • src/** — Source code (read-only)
  • tests/unit/** — Unit tests (out of scope)
  • tests/integration/** — Integration tests (out of scope)
  • Any other directory

Quick Start

  1. Read the target migration source class
  2. Analyze SQL operations to determine test pattern
  3. Apply the migration test template with conditional sections
  4. Validate with PHPStan and PHPUnit
  5. Fix any errors and repeat
  6. Generate completion report

Phase 1: Validate Input

  1. Verify single file provided
  2. Verify file exists and is a PHP class (not interface/trait)
  3. Verify path contains Migration/V6_
  4. Verify class extends Shopware\Core\Framework\Migration\MigrationStep

If validation fails, return FAILED with reason.

Phase 2: Analyze Source

Read the migration class and extract information needed for test generation. See references/source-analysis.md for detection patterns.

Step 1: Extract Metadata

  • Class name, full namespace
  • Timestamp from getCreationTimestamp() return value
  • #[Package('...')] attribute value (default to 'framework' if absent)
  • Area from namespace (Core, Administration, Storefront, Elasticsearch)
  • Version from namespace (V6_6, V6_7, V6_8)

Step 2: Classify SQL Operations

Read update() and updateDestructive() method bodies. Classify:

  • Schema-add: CREATE TABLE, addColumn(), ALTER TABLE ... ADD
  • Schema-remove: DROP TABLE, DROP COLUMN, dropColumnIfExists(), dropTableIfExists()
  • Data-update: UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE on non-config tables
  • Config: system_config operations
  • Mail-template: mail_template operations

A migration may contain multiple patterns (e.g., schema-add + data-update).

Step 3: Check updateDestructive

Determine if updateDestructive() has logic:

  • Not overridden → no logic
  • Empty body or only parent::updateDestructive() → no logic
  • Any other statement → has logic

Step 4: Select Traits

Based on detected patterns, select traits per references/source-analysis.md trait selection table.

Phase 3: Generate Test

Step 1: Determine Test Path

Mirror source path:

  • src/Core/Migration/V6_7/Migration1234Foo.phptests/migration/Core/V6_7/Migration1234FooTest.php
  • src/Administration/Migration/V6_7/Migration1234Bar.phptests/migration/Administration/V6_7/Migration1234BarTest.php

Step 2: Apply Template

Use the migration test template at templates/migration-test.md. Include conditional sections based on Phase 2 analysis:

  • Always: base template, testGetCreationTimestamp, setUp with Connection
  • Schema-add detected: rollback method, schema verification test
  • updateDestructive has logic: updateDestructive test method
  • Data-update detected: state setup, value assertion test
  • Config detected: config insert/preserve tests
  • Mail-template detected: minimal no-exception test

Fill all placeholders using Phase 2 metadata.

Step 3: Write Test File

Write to the path determined in Step 1.

Phase 4: Validate and Fix

Validation Loop

- [ ] PHPStan passes (0 errors)
- [ ] PHPUnit passes (all tests green)
- [ ] ECS passes (code style)

Step 1: Run PHPStan

{
  "paths": ["tests/migration/Path/To/GeneratedTest.php"],
  "error_format": "json"
}

Step 2: Fix PHPStan Errors

Common migration test errors:

  • Missing imports for TableHelper, KernelLifecycleManager, Uuid, Defaults
  • Type mismatches in assertion arguments
  • Unknown method calls on Connection

Step 3: Run PHPUnit

{
  "paths": ["tests/migration/Path/To/GeneratedTest.php"],
  "output_format": "result-only"
}

If tests fail, re-run without output_format to get failure details.

Step 4: Fix Test Failures

Common migration test failures:

  • Column/table already exists (rollback not working)
  • Wrong timestamp value
  • Missing test data setup
  • Transaction not rolling back (wrong trait)

Step 5: Run ECS Check and Fix

Check for violations, then apply fixes if needed.

Repeat Until Pass

Loop Steps 1-5 until all validations pass. Maximum 3 iterations — after that, proceed to Phase 5 with status PARTIAL.

Phase 5: Generate Report

For output format and examples, see references/output-format.md.

Status Determination

Condition Status
All validations pass SUCCESS
Test generated, validation issues remain after 3 iterations PARTIAL
Invalid input FAILED
