peachpie/tests

This folder contains test files that we compile and run using Peachpie. Eventually the output is compared with what regular PHP returns.

How to run

The tests run automatically on our build servers.

To run the tests locally, use vstest (Visual Studio 2017+) or dotnet test (.NET Core 1.1). The test project is located in /src/Tests/Peachpie.ScriptTests.

Example:

1. cd ../src/Tests/Peachpie.ScriptTests
2. dotnet restore
3. dotnet test

Comparing with PHP

Optionally, the test runner will try to run the php command locally. If you have PHP installed, ensure your php command corresponds to PHP version 7 or newer or the version you would like to compare with Peachpie.

In case an older version of PHP is installed on your system, some PHP7 specific tests will fail.

Guidelines

Note that there are known and intended differences in comparison to regular PHP. The following recommendations should be observed:

1. avoid UTF-8 BOM in test files
2. use print_r instead of var_dump
3. avoid displaying warnings and errors; there are known and intended differences in error handling
4. put the code into a unique namespace so it will get compiled nicer

Skipped tests

Tests whose name starts with either skip_* or skip(*)_* are skipped. If possible please use the second variant and specify a reason why the test is skipped inside the parentheses.

• E.g.: skip(late_static_binding_forwarding_not_supported)_static_004.php

* is a wildcard for arbitrary string.
