Comments?

let's just keep "testbox" then.

One of the changes is to add an error handler (instead of just an assert handler). This is useful because then if there is incorrect PHP syntax, vars missing, etc., the tests don't run. In other words, the tests get more picky, which is good. When they get more picky, they want an existing testbox with some stuff in it (InterWikiMap, global_data, a few other things). Thus, I want to make a "testbox" in CVS with the right stuff and check it in, as I did on our local copy.

Since I do not wish to make changes that you don't want, please tell me that you approve. Then I'll go ahead and make the unit test changes, including adding a CVS-tracked "testbox" with stuff in it.




approved.




Cool. I won't add it until we have a name you like (see below).

but the name "testbox" compared to out intermediate ".testbox"
might not fully understandable. can you think of a better name?




I'm sorry, I didn't understand this.

I picked "testbox" to mean a "test sandbox." I agree it is not a great name, but I'm having a hard time thinking of better ones. A list of possibilities:

1. testbox
2. test_sandbox
3. sandbox
4. backend_dir
5. backend_data
6. testdb

Any preferences? I'm not sure any are very good.

In a perl CPAN test framework the call it "t" (for the logic) and "output" (for the output which should be tested against).




Neither "t" nor "output" is appropriate here. It's more like "input". I guess that's another possibility.

i'm not quite accustomed to the java unittest structure.




Java has no standard proposal for the input data upon which to base unit tests.
