That's an odd behaviour. Any unit test we can look at?

Ok, I've tracked it down to a strange issue with Ak::make_dir. It goes into an infinite loop and then causes a seg fault. Here's the function:

function make_dir($path, $options = array())
{
    error_log("Make_dir path:".var_export($path,TRUE), 1,"suthern101@gmail.com");
    error_log("Make_dir options:".var_export($options,TRUE), 1,"suthern101@gmail.com");
    $default_options = array(
    'ftp' => defined('AK_UPLOAD_FILES_USING_FTP') && AK_UPLOAD_FILES_USING_FTP,
    'base_path' => AK_BASE_DIR
    );
    $options = array_merge($default_options, $options);
    $path = trim(str_replace($options['base_path'], '',$path),DS);

    if($options['ftp']){
        require_once(AK_LIB_DIR.DS.'AkFtp.php');
        $path = trim(str_replace(array(DS,'//'),array('/','/'),$path),'/');
        return AkFtp::make_dir($path);
    }else{
        $path = $options['base_path'].DS.$path;
        if (!file_exists($path)){
            Ak::make_dir(dirname($path), $options);
            return mkdir($path);
        }
    }
    return false;
}

Note my two error_log calls.. My e-mail box was flooding with messages until I hit ctrl-c to quite the ./script/test process. Here are the two arguments that are being passed to it.

$path = NULL
$options = array (
  'ftp' => false,
  'base_path' => '/home/sambaserve/web/apps/inventory/test/tmp',
 )

I've gotten around the seg fault by manually creating /test/tmp/install_versions/ and thus no segfault anymore.

Here's the next problem:

  [me@server]$ ./script/test unit/app/models/spots_transfers
  SpotsTransfersTestCase
  OK
  Test cases run: 1/1, Passes: 0, Failures: 0, Exceptions: 0
      /home/sambaserve/web/apps/inventory/test/unit/app/models/spots_transfers.php

  Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class SpotsTransfersTestCase in       
  /home/sambaserve/web/apps/inventory/test/unit/app/models/spots_transfers.php on line 18

With something VERY simple in the spots_transfers.php file:

<?php
// To run this test calling ./script/test unit/app/models/spots_transfers   // More about testing at         
http://wiki.akelos.org/testing-guide

class SpotsTransfersTestCase extends AkUnitTest
{
/*    

    function test_setup()
    {
        $this->installAndIncludeModels('SpotsTransfers');
    }

    function test_SpotsTransfers()
    {
        $this->assertTrue(false,'Unit test for SpotsTransfers not implemented');
    }
*/    
}

?>

Such a simple test (It's even commented out!!), and I still get the error. Is this normal?

Try

./script/test model spots_transfers

or

php ./test/unit/app/models/spots_transfers

solved the recursive call in [561]

can't reproduce the second failure though.

I'm working on a unit test, but now after doing an svn revert and update I'm getting this:

[me@host]$ ./script/test model SpotsTransfers
PHP Warning:  Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value;  If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name]().  If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file.  However, future versions may not support this any longer.  in /home/sambaserve/web/akelos/lib/AkObject.php on line 67
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.9

I've defined ALLOW_CALL_TIME_PASS_REFERENCE as true in both /config/config.php and /test/fixtures/config/config.php. Need I define it somewhere else? Also note that when I do phpinfo, it tells me I'm running 5.2.something. But X-Powered-By: says 4.3.9! Could it be that running ./script uses a different php engine than the xampp install? Hmm...

Yup, you are right. php -v tells me it's running php 4.3.9.

I also solved the strange save() behavior by changing my beforeSave() function into a afterValidation() function. Now I've just got to figure out how to change running php engine to point at lampp's php executable (so the versions match).

Thank you all for your help!

I modified ./script/test for now. Thanks again!
