[TYPO3-core] Travis executes extension tests, help appreciated

[Christian Kuhn]

Hey there,


travis is now configured to not only execute the core tests, but can 
additionally execute tests in several extensions.

This is configured via tests/Build/UnitTests.xml file. While creating 
this, it became obvious that we still have some interdependencies 
between tests that should be tackled.

But it is now very easy to add the tests of other system extensions to 
travis. For now we started with fluid and extbase. More can be added if 
we verified that they work.

If someone has fun hacking on this and some spare time, it would be cool 
if the failing extension tests could be tackled, if we get rid of the 
interdependencies and if we could ship 6.0 with travis executing _all_ 
core + system extension tests in the end.

Working on this is pretty easy: Just manipulate 
tests/Build/UnitTests.xml, go to your document root and call

./typo3/cli_dispatch phpunit -c tests/Build/UnitTests.xml

This is exactly what travis does as well. We've already created some 
tickets for issues we stumbled upon, see below.

BTW: The current state is also a cool base for the CI sprint in Linz [5]

Christian
