#46447 [Opn->Bgs]: existing installation doesn't allow testing of new version

ID: 46447 Updated by: vrana@php.net Reported By: hostmaster at uuism dot net -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: NA PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: README.TESTING is not part of a documentation. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-11-01 03:11:04] hostmaster at uuism dot net Description: ------------ In the README.TESTING file, it indicates: "[Which php.ini is used] ----------------------- "make test" uses the same php.ini file as it would once installed. The tests have been written to be independent of that php.ini file, so if you find a test that is affected by a setting, please report this, so we can address the issue." However, I have PHP-5.0.4 installed on the same system that I am testing PHP-5.2.6. The /etc/php.ini file for PHP-5.0.4 contains the statement: extension_dir = "/usr/lib/php/modules" When I execute run-tests.php, it reads /etc/php.ini and loads the modules from the old directory, rather than /usr/lib/20060613. I found that I could create a new php.ini file in sapi/cli/ and it will be used by run-tests.php. However, the README.TESTING file does not indicate that this step is needed. Also, sapi/cli/php determines which modules to load based on the INI files in /etc/php.d. Since different modules are shared, I get errors that modules have been loaded twice. I tried using the syntax in the README.TESTING file: TEST_PHP_EXECUTABLE=sapi/cli/php \ sapi/cli/php [-c /path/to/php.ini] run-tests.php [ext/foo/tests/GLOB] I tried creating a new directory /etc-5.2.6 for my php.ini file and php.d directory. However, this command did not work: TEST_PHP_EXECUTABLE=sapi/cli/php \ sapi/cli/php -c /etc-5.2.6 run-tests.php /path/to/tests/ It ignored the "-c /etc-5.2.6" part entirely. This parameter works for the compiled php executable, not for the test scripts that are run by run-tests.php. I found that I had to configure php with --with-config-file-path=/etc-5.2.6 and --with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc-5.2.6/php.d. I placed the new php.ini in directory /etc-5.2.6 and placed the INI files in this new directory /etc-5.2.6/php.d.
