Hello.
Johannes Schlüter from pecl-dev has given me an advice to write to this
maillist about my tiny patch to run-tests.php. Hope it could be helpful.
Here is the pull request:
https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/650
=======
Now run-tests.php does not clearly support testing of extensions which
depend on other extensions.
It produces nasty warnings in this case when I run "phpize; ./configure;
make test" (it's a pity that
this warning is useless: it is produced not in test logic, but in the
informational block generating code).
I am the author of such extension (my extension depends on dom.so), and I
suppose I see an easy
way to fix this warning.
Assume we created an extension A.so, which depends on another extension
(e.g. dom.so).
And we run "phpize; ./configure; make test" on A extension. In this case
Makefile of A
calls "run-tests.php ... -d extension=A.so", which calls the following
inside itself:
php -n -c '~/A/tmp-php.ini' ... -d extension_dir=~/A/modules/ -d
extension=A.so run-test-info.php
But you see that it doesn't include "-d extension=dom.so" as well, because
it has no idea about
extension dependencies. So the run-test-info.php below fails with:
PHP Warning: Cannot load module 'A' because required module 'dom' is not
loaded.
BTW all phpt tests of A extension succeed: they HAVE informations about
extension dependencies
via "--EXTENSIONS--" section in phpt files, which mentions dom.so
dependency. So, we do not
need "-d extension=-..." during internal call of run-test-info.php, this is
only an informational call
(to print out PHP SAPI version etc.). Real phpt tests are executed
separately (and they, of course,
have "-d extension=A.so" not removed).
