Description:
------------
The ReflectionClass_FileInfo_basic.phpt test is failing.

When creating a reflection of a class in a .phpt test, the getFileName() method returns simply a string with a hypen ("-") instead of the actual filename.

--- Expected
+++ Actual
@@ @@
-string(%d) "%sReflectionClass_FileInfo_basic.php"
+string(1) "-"

https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/reflection/tests/ReflectionClass_FileInfo_basic.phpt

Expected result:
----------------
Expect the filename returned by getFileName() to be "%sReflectionClass_FileInfo_basic.php"

Actual result:
--------------
The filename returned by getFileName() is actually "-"

The test passes for me, and apparently for others as well[1]. How
did you run the test (make test or directly via run-tests.php)?

Hmm - I'm running the test using PHP Unit, so this may be a bug there instead. I'll close this, investigate some more and re-open if it needs a closer look at here :)

Thank you!

Ah, interesting! I didn't know that PHPUnit is able to run phpt
tests.

Anyway, I gave it a try on Windows, and got the following:

    --- Expected
    +++ Actual
    @@ @@
    -string(%d) "%sReflectionClass_FileInfo_basic.php"
    +string(43) "C:\Users\cmb\AppData\Local\Temp\PHP2C57.tmp"

So indeed, this seems to be a current limitation of PHPUnit.

Yes indeed - further information if anyone comes across this:
https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/issues/1783

It's actually because phpunit pipes the code into php on Linux (although, from your example there, it looks like it works by creating a tmp file and running that)

Incidentally, do you know of a way of "faking" the filename in this case?

e.g.

this fails:

echo "<?php class Foo {} \$c = new ReflectionClass('Foo'); var_dump(\$c->getFileName());" | php

is it possible to "fake" the filename, something like:

echo "<?php class Foo {} \$c = new ReflectionClass('Foo'); var_dump(\$c->getFileName());" | php --pretend-the-filename-is="foo.php"

or something?

No, unfortunately not.
