Hi!
There are going to be some technical challenges. Some (maybe a lot) of
test
will need updates or rewriting. run-tests.php may need more improvements
than what is already planned. Knowing this, I would still rather update
run-tests.php and fix the tests, then continue to applying tests to
different branches of the code base.
I still have yet to hear *how* these tests are supposed to be updated,
to work everywhere. It's very easy to say "oh, we'll just fix them" -
but how exactly you're going to fix them if the test is supposed to do
one thing in 5.2 and another in 5.3? Are you going to have 2 versions of
What tests are you really talking about here? I thought we have regression tests
in there which test that stuff does not change between versions. Such test
AFAICT help us to keep stuff to work like it worked before and after some change
somewhere in the related code. So there should not be any need for any updates
given the tests aren't for some reason different between branches in which case
they aren't really the same test anymore.
Short version: if test works in 5.2 it also has to (!) work in 5.3. Otherwise
the test is pointless.
Can you define the case you're referring to here or are we actually talking
about totally different thing?
