Hi, Since phpmyadmin is a regular guest here, I checked how its repository testsuite performs. (I didn't find prior work in that area on the list.)
Lots of errors/incomplete/skipped even with the upstream source, lots of deprecation warnings. The unit tests quickly halts on Debian's patched codebase due to removing bundled libraries and getFilePath()/CVE-2016-6621. The Selenium tests can be run from the upstream phpmyadmin source while targetting a Debian install. The testsuite recommends compiling and installing PECL runkit for additional tests, but it makes it crash/halt. It is not entirely stable, here are 2 full runs on +deb8u4: Tests: 2192, Assertions: 4800, Failures: 4, Errors: 120, Incomplete: 9, Skipped: 93. Tests: 2192, Assertions: 4798, Failures: 4, Errors: 122, Incomplete: 8, Skipped: 93. (most of the Errors are actually "PHPUnit_Framework_Assert::assertTag is deprecated") That's still an indicator on whether an update significantly broke something :) Install instructions: - apt install phpunit-selenium ant php5-gd php5-gmp mkdir -p /usr/share/selenium/ # using the latest selenium 2.x (didn't try 3.x) wget -c http://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/2.53/selenium-server-standalone-2.53.1.jar \ -O /usr/share/selenium/selenium-server.jar # Needs old Firefox 58 (not 60) otherwise Selenium can't install its extension wget http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/firefox-esr/firefox-esr_52.8.1esr-1~deb8u1_amd64.deb wget http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/firefox-esr/firefox-esr-l10n-fr_52.8.1esr-1~deb8u1_all.deb apt install libjsoncpp0 dpkg -i *.deb # In a graphical session (possibly disable the screen saver): java -jar /usr/share/selenium/selenium-server.jar - # additional selenium tests (headers) require runkit # well drop that - actually that make the non-selenium testsuite crash... wget http://pecl.php.net/get/runkit-1.0.4.tgz apt install php5-dev tar xzf runkit-1.0.4.tgz cd runkit-1.0.4/ # README phpize ./configure make make test make install cat <<EOF > /etc/php5/mods-available/runkit.ini extension=runkit.so runkit.internal_override=1 EOF #php5enmod runkit - git clone https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/ cd phpmyadmin/ git checkout RELEASE_4_2_12 # Note: build.xml => phpunit --configuration phpunit.xml.dist => test/bootstrap-dist.php edit test/bootstrap-dist.php: # 'TESTSUITE_PASSWORD' => 'mysql_root_password', # 'TESTSUITE_SELENIUM_HOST' => '127.0.0.1', ant You should see browser windows popping in and out.
