To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates all necessary tables, stored procedures etc. Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report. How about a repro that doesn't rely on your test framework? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-06-25 20:17:17] maf dot michal at gmail dot com Description: ------------ As I was running tests of one of my PHP libs using travis-ci I encountered some issue with late static binding. It seems to be not possible to override static property and access proper values with static:: keyword https://travis-ci.org/majkel89/tcpdf-warper/jobs/68057687 On the other hand the problem might be with reflection API that cannot override static properties any more. Non the less I provided full source code as long with tests scripts and results sets. PS: Would it be wiser to replace static property storing default arguments with inline array in getArguments both for performance and memory improvements ? This way the problem would be fixed.
