=== 3.10 ===
* PHPUnit has been upgraded to 8.5. That comes with a few changes:
+ - Breaking change: All the "template methods" (setUp(), tearDown()...) now require to return void. This implies
+ that the minimum version of PHP able to run tests will be PHP 7.1
+ - A good number of assertions have been deprecated with this version
+ and will be removed in a future one. In core all cases have been removed
+ (so it's deprecation-warnings free). It's recommended to perform the
+ switch to their new counterparts ASAP:
+ - assertInternalType() has been deprecated. Use the assertIsXXX() methods instead.
+ - assertArraySubset() has been deprecated. Use looping + assertArrayHasKey() or similar.
+ - @expectedExceptionXXX annotations have been deprecated. Use the expectExceptionXXX()
+ methods instead (and put them exactly before the line that is expected to throw the exception).
+ - assertAttributeXXX() have been deprecated. If testing public attributes use normal assertions. If
+ testing non-public attributes... you're doing something wrong :-)
+ - assertContains() to find substrings on strings has been deprecated. Use assertStringContainsString() instead.
+ (note that there are "IgnoringCase()" variants to perform case-insensitive matching.
+ - assertEquals() extra params have been deprecated and new assertions for them created:
+ - delta => use assertEqualsWithDelta()
+ - canonicalize => use assertEqualsCanonicalizing()
+ - ignoreCase => use assertEqualsIgnoringCase()
+ - maxDepth => removed without replacement.
+ - The custom printer that was used to show how to rerun a failure has been removed, it was old and "hacky"
+ solution, for more information about how to run tests, see the docs, there are plenty of options.
- phpunit/dbunit is not available any more and it has been replaced by a lightweight phpunit_dataset class, able to
load XML/CSV and PHP arrays, send the to database and return rows to calling code (in tests). That implies the
follwoing changes in the advanced_testcase class:
