Clarification: your test depends on being able to run multiple instances of the same test at the same time?
run-tests runs one test at a time. It does launch a separate php.exe for each test, but it doesn't use non-blocking popen or pcntl, so it can only run one test at a time. see: http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=blob;f=run-tests.php;h=8222c7870973ee62253304b39888ed4b1b067715;hb=refs/heads/master#l1103 Additionally, you need to specify which tests must be run at same time (and how many, 2, 3, 4), neither of which run-tests is designed to do(its a light weight tool as opposed to PFTT which is very heavy weight). Alternatively, PFTT normally runs multiple tests at the same time and has a few extensions to the PHPT format. I could add another extension to the PHPT format to PFTT for your test. Extensions for PHPT test would specify which tests have to be run at same time, how many to run (2, 3, 4) and optionally skip test on run-tests. see: http://git.php.net/?p=pftt2.git;a=blob;f=src/com/mostc/pftt/model/core/EPhptSection.java;h=cf5ca582bcf604984b6bd3a8715838e9ee8fc075;hb=refs/heads/master#l14 Do you have a PHPT test written or pseudo code for one? That would help. Would be great to improve test coverage of WinCache (fe: there's some test php scripts afair that should be converted to PHPTs) Regards -M On Mon, Aug 24, 2015 at 10:31 AM, Eric Stenson <erics...@microsoft.com> wrote: > Good Morning PHP Internals! > > I'm trying to get some unit test coverage on some functionality that > requires two separate processes, and I'm wondering how to do this with a > *.phpt. > > WinCache has a cross-process lock functionality that allows > synchronization between two processes.
