The most dramatic changes are in the alpha releases. Here is a list of possible -problems... +problems and their fixes... + +Failure to connect now emits failures +------------------------------------- +It used to be that you would have to use the +getTransferError() call on the web tester to see if +there was a socket level error in a fetch. This check +is now always carried out by the WebTestCase unless +the fetch is prefaced with WebTestCase::ignoreErrors(). +The ignore directive only lasts for test case fetching +action such as get() and click(). + +No method SimpleTestOptions::ignore() +------------------------------------- +This is deprecated in version 1.0.1beta and has been moved +to SimpleTest::ignore() as that is more readable. In +addition, parent classes are also ignored automatically. +If you are using PHP5 you can skip this directive simply +by marking your test case as abstract. + +No method assertCopy() +---------------------- +This is deprecated in 1.0.1 in favour of assertClone(). +The assertClone() method is slightly different in that +the objects must be identical, but without being a +reference. It is thus not a strict inversion of +assertReference(). + +Constructor wildcard override has no effect in mocks +---------------------------------------------------- +As of 1.0.1beta this is now set with setWildcard() instead +of in the constructor. + +No methods setStubBaseClass()/getStubBaseClass() +------------------------------------------------ +As mocks are now used instead of stubs, these methods +stopped working and are now removed as of the 1.0.1beta +release. The mock objects may be freely used instead. + +No method addPartialMockCode() +------------------------------ +The ability to insert arbitrary partial mock code +has been removed. This was a low value feature +causing needless complications.It was removed +in the 1.0.1beta release. + +No method setMockBaseClass() +---------------------------- +The ability to change the mock base class has been +scheduled for removal and is deprecated since the +1.0.1beta version. This was a rarely used feature +except as a workaround for PHP5 limitations. As +these limitations are being resolved it's hoped +that the bundled mocks can be used directly. + +No class Stub +------------- +Server stubs are deprecated from 1.0.1 as the mocks now +have exactly the same interface. Just use mock objects +instead. + +No class SimpleTestOptions +-------------------------- +This was replced by the shorter SimpleTest in 1.0.1beta1 +and is since deprecated. + +No file simple_test.php +----------------------- +This was renamed test_case.php in 1.0.1beta to more accurately +reflect it's purpose. This file should never be directly +included in test suites though, as it's part of the +underlying mechanics and has a tendency to be refactored. + +No class WantedPatternExpectation +--------------------------------- +This was deprecated in 1.0.1alpha in favour of the simpler +name PatternExpectation. + +No class NoUnwantedPatternExpectation +------------------------------------- +This was deprecated in 1.0.1alpha in favour of the simpler +name NoPatternExpectation. + +No method assertNoUnwantedPattern() +----------------------------------- +This has been renamed to assertNoPattern() in 1.0.1alpha and +the old form is deprecated. + +No method assertWantedPattern() +------------------------------- +This has been renamed to assertPattern() in 1.0.1alpha and +the old form is deprecated. + +No method assertExpectation() +----------------------------- +This was renamed as assert() in 1.0.1alpha and the old form +has been deprecated. + +No class WildcardExpectation +---------------------------- +This was a mostly internal class for the mock objects. It was +renamed AnythingExpectation to bring it closer to JMock and +NMock in version 1.0.1alpha. + +Missing UnitTestCase::assertErrorPattern() +------------------------------------------ +This method is deprecated for version 1.0.1 onwards. +This method has been subsumed by assertError() that can now +take an expectation. Simply pass a PatternExpectation +into assertError() to simulate the old behaviour.
