Re: Writing PHPT tests

You simply ignored my email or never got it? The correct place for such scripts is not in the "root" but in scripts/dev/ --Jani Jani - of course I wouldn't ignore a mail from you :-) - I didn't see it. I talked a bit to Johannes on IRC about where to put it and in the end said I'd put it in the top level and move or remove it if anyone disagreed. I'll move it.

Thanks, Zoe

Hi - for any of you that are writing PHPT tests for existing extensions - I put a PHP script called generate_phpt.php into PHP 5.3 yesterday which might help a little. It's quite a simple command line script (Raghu and I wrote it last year), it works by looking at the {{{proto line for a function in PHP source code and construct a test case frame from it. It can be used to construct very simple tests cases - or to turn an existing PHP file into PHPT format. It doesn't try and guess what the results of a test should be :-). I will document it properly on qa.php.net later. In the meantime: php generate_phpt.php --help tells you what it's supposed to do. Zoe PS - It doesn't work for PHP6 right now because the {{{proto line is different.
