Autoloader wants to load 'string.php' for assertType('string' since 3.5

Hi

Since the update to phpunit 3.5 I receive the following error for the code:

$this->assertType('string', 'Hello world');

Failed opening required 'string.php'

The reason is probably my autoloader. I first hat this problem with the Zend_Framework Autoloader, and then tried my own autoloader:

function test_autoload($class) {
$file = str_replace('_', '/', $class) . '.php';
require_once $file;
}

spl_autoload_register('test_autoload');

The reason that the exception is thrown is because my autoloader is called by the function class_exists in PHPUnit_Framework_Assert. Should I use assertType only for classs and not string, int etc.? Or how should I modify my autoloader? Is this an expected behaviour?

Please use assertInternalType() instead of assertType() for internal types such as string.

Ok, good to know. I think it would be a good idea to update the documentation, because here the first two examples are string examples:

Thx for your help
