ChangeLog for PHPUnit 3.7

Changes in PHPUnit

• Implemented #200: When using process-isolation don't die silently when unserializing the test result fails.
• Implemented #206: Added a callback constraint that is useful for making complex assertions.
• Implemented #207: Restore current working directory if is changed by a test case.
• Implemented #208: Added --test-suffix that allows specifying which filename suffixes are recognised by PHPUnit.
• Implemented #295: assertArrayHasKey() and assertArrayNotHasKey() now work with objects that implement ArrayAccess.
• Implemented #333: Improved reporting when there are unused CLI arguments to avoid misconceptions.
• Implemented #377: Show messages and stracktraces in JSON output for skipped and incomplete tests.
• Implemented #424: Added assertJson* functions that work like the existing assertXml* functions.
• Implemented #492: PHPUnit now provides a configuration.xsd schema file at http://schema.phpunit.de/configuration.xsd that can be used to validate your phpunit.xml and phpunit.xml.dist configuration files.
• Implemented #495: Added --testsuite argument, allowing to filter files/directory by parent testsuite name attribute.
• Implemented #504: Expanded the @requires annotation to allow for checking the existence of functions and extensions using multiple @requires function name statements.
• Implemented #508 #86: @expectedExceptionCode and @expectedExceptionMessage can now use constants like Classname::CONST as their parameters. They will get evaluated if the class constant exists and used for comparison so test authors can avoid duplication.
• Implemented #512: Test listeners now trigger one autoload call instead of being silently ignored when the class was not loaded.
• Implemented #514: Failed assertStringMatchesFormat() calls now produce a better readable diff by only marking lines as different that don't match the format specifiers.
• Implemented #515: Added assertContainsOnlyInstancesOf() to help checking Collection objects and arrays with a descriptive assertion.
• Implemented #561: When an @expectedException fails it now shows the message of the thrown exception to ease debugging.
• Implemented #586: Improved reporting of exceptions by printing out the previous exception names, messages and traces.
• The @requires annotation can now be used on the class DocBlock. Required versions can be overridden in the methods annotation, required functions and extensions will be merged.
• Added processUncoveredFilesFromWhitelist configuration setting. When enabled, uncovered whitelisted files are processed to properly calculate the number of executable lines.
• Fixed #322 #320 thanks to #607: Commandline option now override group/exclude settings in phpunit.xml
• Fixed #440: Possible crash when using --process-isolation with PHP 5.3 and detect_unicode=on.
• Fixed #523: assertAttributeEquals() now works with classes extending internal classes like ArrayIterator.
• Fixed #581: Generating a diffs could add extra newlines in Windows.
• Fixed #636, #631: Using Selenium in combination with autoloaders that die() or produce errors when a class cannot be found caused broken tests.
• If no tests where executed, for example because of a --filter, PHPUnit now prints a "No tests executed" warning instead of "OK (0 tests...)".
• It is possible again to expect the generic Exception class.
• Removed addUncoveredFilesFromWhitelist configuration setting.
• Removed deprecated --skeleton-class and --skeleton-test switches. The functionality is now provided by the phpunit-skelgen command of the PHPUnit_SkeletonGenerator package.
• Removed deprecated PHPUnit_Extensions_OutputTestCase class.
• PHPUnit 3.7 is only supported on PHP 5.3.3 (or later) and PHP 5.4.7 (or later) is highly recommended.

Changes in PHPUnit_MockObject

• Implemented #47: Make cloning of arguments passed to mocked methods optional.
• Implemented #84: getMockFromWsdl() now works with namespaces.
• Fixed #90: Mocks with a fixed class name could only be created once.

Changes in PHP_CodeCoverage

• The HTML report has been redesigned.
• The new @coversDefaultClass annotation enables short @covers annotations when working with long class names or namespaces.
• The new @coversNothing annotation can be used so tests do not record any code coverage. Useful for integration testing.
• When processUncoveredFilesFromWhitelist=FALSE is set then files that are whitelisted but not covered by a single test are now included in the code coverage but with all lines, including those that are not executable, counted as not executed.
• PHP_CodeCoverage 1.2 is only supported on PHP 5.3.3 (or later) and PHP 5.4.7 (or later) is highly recommended.
