PHP is pretty much static/similar on all platforms, so running PHPUnit in CruiseControl or on your localhost is enough to know that the code is good (if it passes the test). -- This statement is mostly only of theoretical value, because recently we have seen some tests that were/are still broken on CC but not locally, or that were broken locally but not on CC.

Yes this is a problem. Some of it's differences in setup between ci.tesla and people's local installs. Differences in pass/fail between setups is usually an indication of a problem that needs fixing anywayĀ :)

May also be related to CruiseControl install using SQLite and (most local installs) using MySQL.

That's part of the reason. It's why I always test phpunit on bothĀ :)

Maybe we could add CruiseControl build against postgre and MySQL and just running the Database group.

Can we please not install pgsql on ci.tesla? The reason we use sqlite over mysql is because it's nice and lightweight and we're on a VM.

Also, Windows. Some tests fail on Windows that do not fail on Linux.

I'm not looking to build a test cluster with multiple VMs running different OSs.
