Need your help testing G2.3

[Andy Staudacher-3]

We're about to release Gallery 2.3. But before we can ask thousands of users to upgrade their installations, we need to do more testing.

Please help testing Gallery 2.3 in the next days. There are still a lot of combinations / platforms that we need to test.

While some setups are well tested already (MySQL 5 with Apache 2 and PHP 5 on Windows XP and Linux), other setups still need some coverage.

E.g. Oracle hasn't been tested with G2.3 yet.

We have only done minimal testing with: PHP 4, IIS, Windows Server, OSX, BSD, MSSQL, DB2, SQLite.

We haven't tested with language settings other than English/German much yet.

If you have a setup with any of the above components, your help would be much appreciated!

If you don't have such a setup, please read below for "additional testing" and browser compatibility testing which you can perform with any setup.

How to test?

- Do a SVN checkout of trunk or download the latest nightly snapshot

- Install Gallery 2

- Bump the php memory_limit to 256M and run the unit test suite (lib/tools/phpunit/index.php?filter=)

Please report your results at:http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Test_Matrix#Current

Additional testing: Upgrades:

- Install a prior version of G2 and perform an upgrade. Please report what upgrade path you've tested on which setup.

http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Test_Matrix#Upgrades

Additional testing: import/export:

- Add a few albums / photos

- Go to "site admin -> maintenance" and perform a backup task

- Go to lib/support/index.php and perform an import

If you find any issues, please report them to gallery-devel (mailinglist) or file a bug at http://sf.net/projects/gallery/

Additional testing: Browser compatibility:

(Firefox 2 and 3 is well tested, other browsers less so)

- Use your favorite browser to browse a Gallery 2.3 installation

- Browse into various menus / options to see if there are any oddities, if anything looks significantly worse than in Firefox.

If you find any issues, please report them to gallery-devel (mailinglist) or file a bug at http://sf.net/projects/gallery/

Thanks!

I did a successful full test with PHP 5.2.7 RC1, and am running a full
test with PHP 5.3-20081013.

Just a clarification:

1. You shouldn't run G2 unittests (lib/tools/phpunit/index.php) on a shared webhosting account.

The tests take anything between 15 minutes and 2 hours depending on the specs of the server and during that time, the tests hit the server CPU and the database pretty hard. So the tests probably won't finish on a shared webhosting server since such servers have tight resource limits.

2. You shouldn't run G2 unittests on your public Gallery installation. Tests may fail, and although we do our best to cleanup when things fail, tests might actually corrupt your G2 database or accidentally delete your preexisting photos. I haven't heard of such issues yet, but that's probably because people really don't run G2 tests with productional G2 installations.

I usually run the tests on my primary computer, which happens to be a laptop. If you have a server, even better.

A fresh G2 is installed within 5 minutes. So don't bother risking your real G2 installation. :)

I've got an almost fully clean test run with PHP 5.3-20081013.  Aside
from some unit test fixes, I had to do two things:

1.  I had to set 'error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT)' in
phpunit.inc to stem the tide of deprecation warnings that were
triggering test failures.  I didn't commit this.

2.  UrlGeneratorTest.testLocalUrlMapSave fails because the
GalleryUrlGenerator::_saveLocalUrlMap function never gets called.  I
spent some time on this and found that if I call it directly in the
test, eg:

   $this->_urlGenerator->_saveLocalUrlMap($this->_urlGenerator);

then it works.  But otherwise, no matter what I do it doesn't get
called.  I got as far as verifying that Gallery::performShutdownActions
executes the call_user_func_array() function with the right args, but
the function itself never receives the call.  I tried to reproduce it in
a small test script, but no joy.  This seems like a regression in PHP5
but I didn't have time to narrow down exactly why it's happening.  But
since it does actually impact the production code, I've created a
workaround which is out for review in #791.
