Bootstrap scripts specific to test suites

[sebastianbergmann]

It should be possible to have <testsuite> specific bootstrap scripts:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<phpunit xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="https://schema.phpunit.de/12.2/phpunit.xsd"
         bootstrap="vendor/autoload.php">
    <testsuites>
        <testsuite name="unit">
            <directory suffix="Test.php">tests/unit</directory>
        </testsuite>

        <testsuite name="integration" bootstrap="tests/integration/bootstrap.php">
            <directory suffix="Test.php">tests/integration</directory>
        </testsuite>
    </testsuites>
</phpunit>

phpunit should load vendor/autoload.php and tests/integration/bootstrap.php.

phpunit --testsuite unit should only load vendor/autoload.php.

phpunit --testsuite integration should load vendor/autoload.php and tests/integration/bootstrap.php.

Each bootstrap script, even if configured multiple times, must only be loaded once.

For this to work properly, we need to know for each test to which <testsuite> it belongs. Otherwise we cannot skip loading bootstrap scripts that are not required when, for instance, --filter or --group are used.

Would multiple bootstrap scripts mean the tests in the directory are iterated over once per bootstrap?

Is this still planned to be implemented? I'm actually just now running into this "issue" where it would be most ideal to have different bootstraps (unit tests don't need a db migrate/seed but the feature tests do).

Thanks!

Same here : for example, it is required for Smoke test to have a little bit of data, and nothing else fancy, so a dedicated bootstrap could be great to achieve that.

Hi.

Is there any way inside bootstrap to know which test suite is running?
Excluding hacks like $GLOBALS['argv']

Is this still going to be implemented?
