hi,
I've noticed that it is very difficult to tell if your --CLEAN--
sections are actually working, so I wonder if it might be possible to
brainstorm ways of fixing this.
A couple of options come to mind that could be considered
- append this code to the end of the .clean.php file: ?><?php echo
"--CLEAN-- works"; ?> and capture the output, then check to make sure
that we see "--CLEAN-- works" in the output. This would detect fatal
errors (which is the most common problem I find, especially when a
--CLEAN-- section includes a helper file).
- add a --REMOVEFILES--/--REMOVEDIRS-- section where one can specify
relative paths to files or whole directories that should be nixed, and
have run-tests do the removal
The most common usage for --CLEAN-- is to remove files, so I like the
second option personally.
Thanks,
Greg
