Pipp - Testing

Testsuite

For testing the test-suite from PHP 5.3 is used. For sanity checking there are also few tests in languages/pipp/t/php and languages/pipp/t/pmc. These tests are used by 'make test'.

How to run the PHP test suite

The testscript from the PHP 5.3 distribution is prepared to test other PHP implementations. Something like this worked for me under Linux.

  # build Parrot
  cd ~/devel/Parrot/trunk
  perl Configure.pl && make

  # build Pipp
  cd languages/pipp
  make pipp

  # build PHP 5.3
  cd ~/devel/PHP/
  wget http://snaps.php.net/php5.3-200807221230.tar.gz
  tar xvzf php5.3-200807221230.tar.gz
  cd php5.3-200807221230/
  ./configure
  make

  # configure run-tests.php
  export PARROT_HOME=/home/bernhard/devel/Parrot/trunk
  export TEST_PHP_EXECUTABLE=$PARROT_HOME/languages/pipp/pipp
  export TEST_PHP_CGI_EXECUTABLE=$PARROT_HOME/languages/pipp/pipp
  # export PIPP_VARIANT=pct
  # export PIPP_VARIANT=phc
  export NO_INTERACTION=1

  # run the test-suite
  ./sapi/cli/php run-tests.php -v --keep-all | tee run-tests.log

Good luck.
