Thank you - that sort of helps, and I realise now that I should have phrased my request better (so I have reopened, and rephrased it to hopefully be clearer). What I mostly wanted was to run the tests, and then email the results off, without prompting. I can enable/disable the prompt now with: TEST_PHP_ARGS="-q" make test And I can see the available options with: TEST_PHP_EXECUTABLE="/root/tmp/php-5.1-dev/php5.1-200602150330/sapi/cli/php" sapi/cli/php run-tests.php --help However, unless I am mistaken, I can't see any option to specify the email address to use, such as for example: TEST_PHP_ARGS="--email-results [EMAIL PROTECTED]" make test My underlying assumption here is that you folks want and use the output of "make test" in some way. If that's not the case, then of course, don't make it an option. However, if you are using this, then wouldn't it be good to be able to script it so that it could automatically email off the results of make test, without having to prompt the user? Then you could (for example) have the build farm automatically email the qa.php.net list with the results of "make test" after every build of every snapshot. Maybe you already do this in some other way, but if not, it seems like it could be useful to me. You could also update http://qa.php.net/running-tests.php with this information, so that people could "set and forget" to run the tests and email the results, without prompting them. P.s. there is a very small typo in the help for "make test". It says "-q Quite, no user interaction"; but you want it to say "Quiet", not "Quite". Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-02-15 08:48:46] [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can already do this, set the env variable TEST_PHP_ARGS to "-q" and it should skip the question. Use -h to get all available options. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-02-15 06:56:06] nickj-phpbugs at nickj dot org Description: ------------ I have a little shell script to download PHP snapshots, extract them, configure them, and build them. I would like to add automatically running "make test" on them. However, it does not appear that this can be done at the moment, because "make test" prompts the user for information after running tests, like so: ================================================ You may have found a problem in PHP. We would like to send this report automatically to the PHP QA team, to give us a better understanding of how the test cases are doing. If you don't want to send it immediately, you can choose "s" to save the report to a file that you can send us later. Do you want to send this report now? [Yns]: Please enter your email address. (Your address will be mangled so that it will not go out on any mailinglist in plain text): ================================================ It would be really useful if "make test" could be fully scripted, so that it did not ask for whether to send email, and what email address to send it from. For example, if you could do this, then that would be ideal: make test --email-report [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36398&edit=1
