[Solar-talk] New PHPUnit3 Tests

[Paul M Jones]

Hi everyone,

I've replaced the previous Solar_Test-based with the new PhpUnit3- 
based tests.  Many thanks to Travis Swicegood who converted all the  
old Solar_Test code to PhpUnit3.  You can see the solarphp-test  
project here:

   <http://code.google.com/p/solarphp-test/>

Although I loved the simplicity of Solar_Test, PhpUnit3 is a lot more  
robust and has much more power (even though it's somewhat more  
complicated).  Plus, it's completely outside of Solar, so nothing  
that's wrong with Solar can possibly get in the way of the testing  
system itself.

To run the tests, you need to install PhpUnit3:

     $ pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
     $ pear install --alldeps PhpUnit

Then update your SVN checkout, go to the trunk/tests directory, and  
issue:

     $ ./phpunit AllTests.php

To run only one test class, issue:

     $ ./phpunit Solar_Class_NameTest

Let me or Travis know if you need any help with this or related  
testing issues.  Also, remember you can enter testing bugs in the  
Trac installation here:

   <http://solarphp.com/trac/>

Thanks, everyone.  :-)
