failing intl test (ext/intl/tests/dateformat_format_variant2.phpt)

Hi Alexey,

Hi Ferenc,

Hi,

I have never managed to make this test pass for me, even thought that
I
was trying with different ICU versions. I'm currently testing with ICU
52.1
from homebrew on Mavericks and with the same ICU version on debian
wheezy and it fails with the same diff:

209+ 'timezone_type' => 2,^M
210+ 'timezone' => 'PDT',^M
209- 'timezone_type' => 3,^M
210- 'timezone' => 'America/Los_Angeles',^M
217+ 'timezone_type' => 2,^M
218+ 'timezone' => 'PDT',^M
217- 'timezone_type' => 3,^M
218- 'timezone' => 'America/Los_Angeles',^M
225+ 'timezone_type' => 2,^M
226+ 'timezone' => 'PDT',^M
225- 'timezone_type' => 3,^M
226- 'timezone' => 'America/Los_Angeles',^M
233+ 'timezone_type' => 2,^M
234+ 'timezone' => 'PDT',^M
233- 'timezone_type' => 3,^M
234- 'timezone' => 'America/Los_Angeles',^M
241+ 'timezone_type' => 2,^M
242+ 'timezone' => 'PDT',^M
241- 'timezone_type' => 3,^M
242- 'timezone' => 'America/Los_Angeles',

Could anybody who has this test passing tell me what ICU version are
you testing with?

I've forked this one into
ext/intl/tests/dateformat_format_variant3.phpt and adjusted the output
for 52.1. The variant 2 is worky with at least ICI 51.2, i've added the
corresponding condition to the skipif. Looks like this change happens
somewhere between ICU 51.2 and 52.

well… the question is: should something like this be tested anyway? tests
should cover things which are guaranteed to work specific way by us, not
by external libraries.

we can't test every single version, but at least we ensure some of the
changes rapidly happening in ICU. There's pretty much data, and that's
somehow an issue because it's causing erroneous bug reports. On the other
hand, if we would reduce the tests only to the functionality within PHP
responsibility, then they were quite a few.

So I would say it's fine to test the way we do, at least at the time where
some new ICU version arises, failing tests can show what was changed and
whether PHP is fine with that. Almost that's data change, but sometimes it
could be something more serious, too.

BTW, I seems current build system has problem building with specific ICU
version libs, but it works if target ICU version is installed under
/usr/local.

I meant "It seems".
I haven't looked into what's wrong. Could anyone fix this issue?
It would be nice to test with various ICU versions.

for building with specific ICU version from a custom location I'm
using --with-icu-dir=/opt/homebrew/opt/icu4c and it seems to work just fine.
could you ellaborate what errors do you experience?
