Re: PHPUnit bugs/fixes

obviously - if they are failing like this - the default behaviour is actually 100% correct for a 'anally retentive' unit test :) I guess you are looking for a more 'loose' match there. eg. a == rather than a === yeah - looks like a recursive foreach is about the only solution there.. regards alan Wolfram Kriesing wrote:

i was using PHPUnit for some testing, 2 problems occured comparing arrays using

    serialize($expected) != serilaize($actual)

is not succedding because of 1. the order of the keys is not the same

    ksort($expected);
    ksort($actual);
    serialize($expected) != serilaize($actual)

this helps 2.

    even if the values are the same the types might not be
    see:
    a:6:{s:10:"address_id";i:0;    s:10:"company_id";i:0;  ...
    a:6:{s:10:"address_id";s:1:"0";s:10:"company_id";s:1:"0";  ...

    one solutions would be
    the array has to be foreach'ed to set all the types to 'string'
    and compare it then, that should work

any easier ways?
