Re: [Simpletest-support] PHP-Includes inside an Eclipse-SimpleTest

[Wermelinger R. <reg...@vo...>]

Hello

Thanks four your response.

The explicit using of the full directory name didn't get the Test to work. I tried the following codes:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'..\lib\AutoLoader.php'); // --> fails
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'\..\lib\AutoLoader.php'); // --> works
require_once('..\lib\AutoLoader.php'); // --> fails
require_once('\..\lib\AutoLoader.php'); // --> works
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I assume that the includes/require call inside a SimpleTest only works if the path starts with a leading directory seperator. However this doesn't really help. This way I can include the files which I'am including explicit. But the included files have other dependencies and make further includes. And that framework which im loading makes it's includes also without the leading directory-seperator. 

Though i can go now and search/replace all the includes inside this framework, that's the worst case for me. As the execution as a PHP-script works it must be an issue of SimpleTest. And for me it's not good practice to adjust working code, just to let it pass it's test.

Isn't there an easier way to bring this SimpleTest to work? Has nobody else the same problems with the simpleTest run-configuration?

Best regards,
Reguel

This fix is simple, you need to give the require/include paths to the
library relative to file which has the require_once inside of it.

The method I use is (something like):

require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../somedir/someotherdir/lib/AutoLoader.php');

The dirname(__FILE__) gives the directory of the file the php processor is
currently processing.

Hope this helps.
