I have been trying to get some Unit Tests with PHPUnit up and running for code we are writing that integrates with Matrix. The only way I can see to do some of the Unit Tests basically requires me to be able to change the status of an asset multple times within a single thread. Without being able to do this I don't think I can write useful Unit Tests using PHPUnit.
The problem I've hit is that after the status of an asset has been changed I seem to need to exit the thread before I can reliably deal with that asset again.
I simplified the code down to this:
[codebox]<?php
require_once '/websites/cms/unit-test/core/include/init.inc';
// asset we can play with
$assetid = 49;
// login as root user
$root_user = &$GLOBALS['SQ_SYSTEM']->am->getSystemAsset('root_user');
if (!$GLOBALS['SQ_SYSTEM']->setCurrentUser($root_user)) {
trigger_error("Failed logging in as root user\n", E_USER_ERROR);
}
/*
Basically what I'm doing here is:
print starting status
Change status to live, reguardless of current status
print current status
Ask asset manager to forget asset
print current status
Change status to Under Construction, reguardless of current status
print current status
Ask asset manager to forget asset
print current status
*/
$asset = $GLOBALS['SQ_SYSTEM']->am->getAsset($assetid);
$status = $asset->getStatus();
echo "Status at start: ".$status->getDescription()."\n";
if (!$asset->processStatusChange(SQ_STATUS_LIVE)) {
trigger_error('Failed to set status', E_USER_ERROR);
}
$status = $asset->getStatus();
echo "Status after change to live: ".$status->getDescription()."\n";
$GLOBALS['SQ_SYSTEM']->am->forgetAsset($asset);
unset($asset);
$asset = $GLOBALS['SQ_SYSTEM']->am->getAsset($assetid);
$status = $asset->getStatus();
echo "Status after forget: ".$status->getDescription()."\n";
if (!$asset->processStatusChange(SQ_STATUS_UNDER_CONSTRUCTION)) {
trigger_error('Failed to set status', E_USER_ERROR);
}
$status = $asset->getStatus();
echo "Status after change to UC: ".$status->getDescription()."\n";
$GLOBALS['SQ_SYSTEM']->am->forgetAsset($asset);
unset($asset);
$asset = $GLOBALS['SQ_SYSTEM']->am->getAsset($assetid);
$status = $asset->getStatus();
echo "Status after forget: ".$status->getDescription()."\n";
?>[/codebox]
Which results in:
[codebox]matrix@vm ~$ php debug.php
Status at start: Under Construction
Status after change to live: Live
Status after forget: Under Construction
Status after change to UC: Under Construction
Status after forget: Under Construction
matrix@vm ~$ php debug.php
Status at start: Live
Status after change to live: Live
Status after forget: Live
Status after change to UC: Under Construction
Status after forget: Live
matrix@vm ~$ php debug.php
Status at start: Under Construction
Status after change to live: Live
Status after forget: Under Construction
Status after change to UC: Under Construction
Status after forget: Under Construction[/codebox]
Has anyone come across this before?
Does anyone have any work arounds?
Have I missed something obvious?
Is anyone writing/using Unit Tests with Matrix already?
I'm devloping against 3.16.6 SSV at the moment.
Multiple Status Changes in a single thread?

Please note that the call to getAsset() in our PHP 4 releases (ie; up to 3.16.15) returns a reference and should therefore be represented in code as follows:
$asset =& $GLOBALS['SQ_SYSTEM']->am->getAsset($assetid);
This explicit declaration is not required in PHP 5 (ie; from 3.18.x) as PHP passes references internally.

You should change the status of the asset by running a hipo job called hipo_job_edit_status, this is how you can run it
$assetid = 'XXXX';
$vars = Array(
'assetid' => $assetid,
'new_status' => SQ_STATUS_UNDER_CONSTRUCTION,
'process_dependents' => TRUE,
);
$hh =& $GLOBALS['SQ_SYSTEM']->getHipoHerder();
$hh->freestyleHipo('hipo_job_edit_status', $vars);
$asset =& $GLOBALS['SQ_SYSTEM']->am->getAsset($assetid);
bam($asset->getStatus());
$vars = Array(
'assetid' => $assetid,
'new_status' => SQ_STATUS_LIVE,
'process_dependents' => TRUE,
);
$hh =& $GLOBALS['SQ_SYSTEM']->getHipoHerder();
$hh->freestyleHipo('hipo_job_edit_status', $vars);
bam($asset->getStatus());This piece of code work perfectly and does change the status of the asset twice
