Or those writing the tests could simply assume the most convenient loading functionality (performance not a concern for test running afterall) and allow someone else to write a unit test for the loading strategies separately. Unit testing should take place in isolation anyway - the loading strategy will never be the focus of package level unit tests. What does Crypt_DiffieHellman care about __autoload() failing? ;) Not its problem...

Usage examples will expect the user to have defined this, just as we expect the include path setting to be setup today. Unit tests always require some sort of setup or runner script. This script can handle this part. Ideally one would be able to run the tests using autoload or allfiles, just to check if its works both ways. regards, Lukas -- PEAR Development Mailing List (http://pear.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php ____________________________________________________________________________________ Expecting?
