Hello Sebastian.
Hello Antony,
What's the status of this?
Do you have anything working?
back in February/March when I first posted about this, I discussed this
with Marcus. The conclusion was that we wanted to rewrite run-tests.php
based on the Iterator approach I used for the benchmark system's
prototype.
Require SPL for a test suite?
Doesn't seem to be good idea..
Benchmarks would then be .phpb in addition to .phpt for
tests.
I did some work on this but stopped when I got negative feedback (on
IRC) towards the idea of rewriting "something that works"
(run-tests.php).
Well, I personally think we'll have to do it sooner or later.
The current version run-tests.php is really hard to maintain and improve.
We can have both for some time and drop the old one when we're sure that the
new one is stable.
It's a developers tool anyway..
I see several options to continue:
- Add .phpb style support for benchmarks to the current run-tests.php.
- Improve run-tests.php to also collect Peak Memory Usage, store the
data in SQLite, and have a test (optionally) fail when it takes more
memory than it did in the past (one of the ideas that I had for the
rewrite).
Oh, that would be too much IMO..
- Do the rewrite.
Opinions?
I'm for the rewrite and I'm ready to help.
