Description: ------------ Take a look at the DB package's unit tests. They make use of --SKIPIF-- --TEST-- DB::parseDSN --SKIPIF-- <?php chdir(dirname(__FILE__)); require_once 'skipif.inc'; ?> --FILE-- Basically, if you produce output here, the test does not run.

To say it more concisely: if I don't have the xmlrpc extension, dont run the tests

Here's a patch for curl related tests that should skip: http://pastebin.com/f1a49a931

Just added another patch to skip more to the file, as well as the pastebin'd one.

Alright, so the curl and xmlrpc ones have been committed in CVS; but validator1EasyStructTest.phpt still fails - it's a phpBackend test but tries to load the xmlrpc extension.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better. Spun off issue xmlrpc extension failure to Bug #14896 Everything else is now happy in CVS
