Comment #3 on issue 3700 by t.hi...@gmail.com: integration of cos(n*(x-phi))*cos(n*x) from x=-pi..pi does not work
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=3700

With current git master, sympy is able to evaluate the integral. But this only works if i expand the integrand first with integrand.expand(trig=True) and then pass this expanded integrand to the integrate function. If I don't do this then 0 is returned:

In : r/pi*integrate(cos(n*(x-phi))*cos(n*x), (x, -pi, pi))
Out:
  ⎛    n                         n                  ⎞
  ⎜(-1) ⋅85⋅cos(n⋅φ - π⋅n)   (-1) ⋅85⋅cos(n⋅φ + π⋅n)⎟
r⋅⎜─────────────────────── - ───────────────────────⎟
  ⎝           n                         n           ⎠
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
                          π

which is 0 when I simplify it:
In : r/pi*integrate(cos(n*(x-phi))*cos(n*x), (x, -pi, pi)).simplify()
Out: 0

However, if I do this:

In : integrand = cos(n*(x-phi))*cos(n*x)
...  r/pi * integrate(integrand.expand(trig=True), (x,-pi,pi))
Out: r⋅cos(n⋅φ)

'integrate' returns the expected result.
