Chuck Burgess [2008-03-08 15:26 UTC] How does doctest know to ignore <code> blocks that are not actual doctests? Do doctest <code> blocks and regular documentation <code> blocks co-exist peacefully in the same file? Or will documentation <code> blocks disrupt trying to run a file that contains some doctests and some documentation blocks?
Chuck Burgess [2008-03-08 15:41 UTC] Wow... already well-defined interfaces, each with a default implementation, perfectly architected for additional driver implementations for each interface... just wow....
David Jean Louis [2008-03-08 15:54 UTC] Thanks Chuck,
<code></code> blocks are considered doctests blocks as long as an "// expects:" line is found, so yes regular documentation and doctests blocs can perfectly coexist.
I also tried to make doctest syntax "documentor" as friendly as possible, since the goals of doctesting is to document and test at the same time.
Till Klampaeckel [2008-03-08 19:18 UTC] This is a pretty cool idea since it allows developers to re-use examples as tests, and therefor save time, and it makes also sure the examples work. ;-)
David Jean Louis [2008-03-08 19:49 UTC] Thanks Till but the idea is not mine eh ;)

As a fan of this module, I really miss it when I code in PHP.
Ken Guest [2008-03-12 14:21 UTC] Nice work!
It's good to see doctest ported over from python - it's an elegant solution for keeping tests and documentation up-to-date whilst minimising the effort required.
I noticed with phpcs that your code completely adheres to the PEAR Coding Standards - always a good thing.
I decided to run phpdt on the packages own code and found that it failed once in
both Testing/DocTest.php and Testing/DocTest/Finder/Default.php :(
David Jean Louis [2008-03-12 14:34 UTC] Thanks for your comment Ken, for the failed tests it's probably a problem with pathes could you mail me the output please ?
