Documentation suggestion about phpspec-code-coverage HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @robteifi,

Thank you for feesback, this is worth considering. Could I ask you what distribution (OS) and environment you run the tests with? From my personal experience most distributions (i.e. Debian, Ubuntu, Arch Linux and the like) usually have memory_limit set to -1 when PHP is executed via commandline (like in most cases when running PhpSpec).

For example, debian has this defined in /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini.

This is not to say that it isn't worth updating documentation so this is mentioned, I am just curious regarding the setup.

from phpspec-code-coverage.

This is on Ubuntu 16.04 installing PHP from the ppa:ondrej/php repository.

As you say the standard cli/php.ini does have memory_limit set to -1, but the phpdbg/php.ini doesn't.

from phpspec-code-coverage.

Ubuntu or debian packages that come from official ubuntu or debian repositories do not even have phpdbg specific php.ini file as that would not be necessary:

• https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/php7.0-phpdbg/filelist
• https://packages.debian.org/sid/alpha/php7.2-phpdbg/filelist

phpdbg should just rely on the standard php.ini for PHP CLI. However, custom ppas come with customisations like that which can get in the way.

I have added a mention regarding memory_limit in the README of the project.

Thank you for feedback. Closing.
