[TYPO3-dev] Unit tests and localization

[Dirk Wenzel]

Hi,
I tried running my unit tests using a standalone phpunit with bootstrap [1].

One of them fails due to a call of 
\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Utility\LocalizationUtility::translate() with

PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function parse_charset() on a 
non-object in 
/var/www/typo3/typo3_src-6.2.3/typo3/sysext/core/Classes/Localization/Parser/AbstractXmlParser.php 
on line 96
(Please see below for the stack trace [2]. The error does not occur when 
running my tests via cli_dispatch.)

How could I avoid this?
I really won't see this in my tests even if it should be a bug in 
AbstractXmlParser or a missing initialization in bootstrap.

Mocking the static call is no longer an option since this feature has 
been removed from current phpunit.

The only solution I see is wrapping those static calls and stub the 
wrapper method in my tests.
What would you do?

Cheers
Dirk
