For these reasons, I don't think we can reuse the parserTests code.
However, I am open to arguments to the contrary.

Thanks. It appears dumpHTML has no command option to turn off this
I am looking into the feasibility of writing a comprehensive parser regression
test (CPRT). Before writing code, I thought I would try to get some idea of how
well such a tool would perform and what gotchas might pop up. An easy first
step is to run dump_HTML and capture some data and statistics

OK, this and Chad's comment suggests the option is multi-process/IPC.
One of the first problems to solve in developing the proposed CPRT is how to
call a function with the same name in two different MW distributions. I can
think of 3 ways: 1) use the Namespace facility of PHP 5.3, 2) use threads, or
3) use separate process and IPC. Since MAMP supports none of thes

I am not proposing that the CPRT be a substitute for "decent tests." We still

So. I checked out a copy of phase3 and extensions to start working on
investigating the feasibility of a comprehensive parser regression test. After
getting the working copy downloaded, I do what I usually do - blow away the
extensions directory stub that comes with phase3 and soft link the down

I am investigating how to write a comprehensive parser regression test. What I
mean by this is something you wouldn't normally run frequently, but rather

I have been playing around with phpunit, in particular its facility for
generating tests from existing PHP code. You do this by processing a suitably
annotated (using /* @assert ... */ comment lines) version of the file with
phpunit --skeleton. Unfortunately, the --skeleton option assumes the fi

I'm starting a new thread because I noticed my news reader has glued together
messages with the title "A potential land mine" and "MW test infrastructure
architecture," which may confuse someone coming into the discussion late. Also,
