Question

VisualPHPUnit test.

No, it’s not an array.

class TestGetChildren extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    protected $objs;
    protected function setUp()
    {
        $objs = array();
        $i=0;
        while ($i<20) {
            $obj = (object) array (
                'ID'=>$i,
                'DIRID'=>0
            );
            if ($i>5) $obj->DIRID = $i-6;
            if ($i>10) $obj->DIRID = 7;
            $objs[] = $obj;
            $i++;
        }
        $this->objs = $objs;
    }

    public function testGetChildren() {
        $objs = $this->objs;
        //var_dump($objs);
        print_r(gettype($objs));
        assert('array' == gettype($objs));
        print_r($objs[19]->ID);
        $vm = new FoldersPermissions($objs);

        //$children =   $vm->getChildren($vm->folders[0]);
        foreach ($vm->folders as $obj) {
            $children = $vm->getChildren($obj);
            print_r($obj->ID."|".count($children)."\n");
            // 0 is a special case, and 1 has 10 children
            if (4 >= $obj->ID && 1 < $obj->ID) {
                //print_r(($children));
                $this->assertTrue(1 == count($children));
            }
            if (7 == $obj->ID){
                $this->assertTrue(count($children) == 9);
            }
        }
    }


}

Also, output:

Debugging Output

So it actually works.
What?

Also, apparently $objs is not an array…

edit to clarify:
I altered testGetChildren like so:

public function testGetChildren() {
    $objs = $this->objs;
    //var_dump($objs);
    print_r(gettype($objs));
    assert('array' == gettype($objs));

and got this as a response:

NULL Warning: assert(): Assertion failed

Answer 1

Okay, I know the reason for the error is because the function testGetChildren has – ignoring case – the same name as the class.

So, probably it interprets the function as the constructor, which messes up the class it inherits.
