They're designed to run from the PHP source distribution, so running the tests for your driver requires moving things around a bit. The suggested procedure is to obtain the latest PHP 5.1 snapshot and perform the following step: </p> <div class="example-contents screen"><div class="cdata"><pre> $ cp -r pdo_SKEL /path/to/php-5.1/ext </pre></div></div> <p class="para"> This will allow the test harness to run your tests. The next thing you need to do is create a test that will redirect into the PDO common core tests. The convention is to name this file <var class="filename">common.phpt</var>; it should be placed in the tests subdirectory that was created by <strong class="command">ext_skel</strong> when you created your extension skeleton. The content of this file should look something like the following: </p> <div class="example-contents"><div class="phptestcode"><pre class="phptestcode">--TEST-- SKEL --SKIPIF-- <?php # vim:ft=php if (!extension_loaded('pdo_SKEL')) print 'skip'; ?> --REDIRECTTEST-- if (false !== getenv('PDO_SKEL_TEST_DSN')) { # user set them from their shell $config['ENV']['PDOTEST_DSN'] = getenv('PDO_SKEL_TEST_DSN'); $config['ENV']['PDOTEST_USER'] = getenv('PDO_SKEL_TEST_USER'); $config['ENV']['PDOTEST_PASS'] = getenv('PDO_SKEL_TEST_PASS'); if (false !== getenv('PDO_SKEL_TEST_ATTR')) { $config['ENV']['PDOTEST_ATTR'] = getenv('PDO_SKEL_TEST_ATTR'); } return $config; } return array( 'ENV' => array( 'PDOTEST_DSN' => 'SKEL:dsn', 'PDOTEST_USER' => 'username', 'PDOTEST_PASS' => 'password' ), 'TESTS' => 'ext/pdo/tests' );</pre> </div></div> <p class="para"> This will cause the common core tests to be run, passing the values of <em>PDOTEST_DSN</em>, <em>PDOTEST_USER</em> and <em>PDOTEST_PASS</em> to the PDO constructor as the <code class="parameter">dsn</code>, <code class="parameter">username</code> and <code class="parameter">password</code> parameters. It will first check the environment, so that appropriate values can be passed in when the test harness is run, rather than hard-coding the database credentials into the test file. </p> <p class="para"> The test harness can be invoked as follows: </p> <div class="example-contents screen"><div class="cdata"><pre> $ cd /path/to/php-5.1 $ make TESTS=ext/pdo_SKEL/tests PDO_SKEL_TEST_DSN="skel:dsn" \ PDO_SKEL_TEST_USER=user PDO_SKEL_TEST_PASS=pass test </pre></div></div> </div><hr /><div class="manualnavbar" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="prev" style="text-align: left; float: left;"><a href="internals2.pdo.building.html">Building</a></div> <div class="next" style="text-align: right; float: right;"><a href="internals2.pdo.packaging.html">Packaging and distribution</a></div> <div class="up"><a href="internals2.pdo.html">PDO Driver How-To</a></div> <div class="home"><a href="index.html">PHP Manual</a></div> </div></body></html>
