feat: Add Docker-based PHPT test runner for comprehensive bcmath polyfill testing

[nanasess]

Summary

This PR adds a comprehensive Docker-based PHPT (PHP Test) runner that enables testing the bcmath polyfill against official PHP-src bcmath tests. This provides thorough validation that our polyfill implementation matches the behavior of the native bcmath extension.

What's Added

🐳 Docker-based Test Environment

• Dockerfile.test-without-bcmath: Creates isolated environment with bcmath extension disabled
• scripts/docker-phpt-runner.sh: Comprehensive test runner with advanced features

✨ Key Features

• Automatic Setup: Copies and processes test files from php-src repository
• Extension Removal: Automatically removes --EXTENSIONS-- sections that would skip tests
• Bootstrap Injection: Injects autoloader and polyfill loading into each test file
• Test Skipping: --skip option to exclude unimplemented functions (e.g., --skip bcround,bcdivmod)
• Flexible Execution: Supports running all tests, specific files, or pattern matching
• Help System: Built-in help with --help option

Usage Examples

# Build test environment
docker build -f Dockerfile.test-without-bcmath -t bcmath-phpt-test .

# Run all tests
docker run --rm -v $PWD:/app bcmath-phpt-test

# Skip unimplemented functions
docker run --rm -v $PWD:/app bcmath-phpt-test --skip bcround,bcdivmod,bcpowmod

# Run specific tests
docker run --rm -v $PWD:/app bcmath-phpt-test tests/php-src/bcadd.phpt

# Show help
docker run --rm -v $PWD:/app bcmath-phpt-test --help

Benefits

• 🎯 Comprehensive Testing: Tests against the same test suite used by PHP core
• 🔍 EXPECT Validation: Proper comparison of expected vs actual output (not just error-free execution)
• ⚡ Fast Iteration: Volume mounting allows testing latest code changes instantly
• 🚫 Isolation: Completely isolated environment prevents interference from host bcmath extension
• 📊 Detailed Results: Full diff output for failed tests with precise error information

Test Results

Currently passing core arithmetic operations:

• ✅ bcadd - Addition operations
• ✅ bcsub - Subtraction operations
• ✅ bcmul - Multiplication operations
• ✅ bcdiv - Division operations
• ✅ bccomp - Comparison operations
• ✅ bcscale - Scale management

TODO

• PHP Version Configuration: Add environment variable to specify PHP version for testing
• GitHub Actions Integration: Add CI workflow to run PHPT tests automatically
• Implement Missing Functions: Add support for skipped functions like bcround, bcdivmod, bcpowmod
• Performance Benchmarks: Compare performance against native extension
• Documentation: Add comprehensive testing guide to README

Implementation Details

Extension Removal Process

The runner automatically processes .phpt files to remove --EXTENSIONS-- sections that would cause tests to be skipped when bcmath extension is not available.

Bootstrap Injection

Each test file gets automatic injection of:

require_once "/app/vendor/autoload.php";
require_once "/app/lib/bcmath.php";

This ensures the polyfill is available in every test without manual modification.

Test Environment

• Uses php:8.3-cli base image with bcmath extension explicitly disabled
• Mounts project directory for live code testing
• Includes proper error handling and detailed logging

Testing

Tested with:

• PHP 8.3 in Docker environment
• Various bcmath operations and edge cases
• Error conditions and boundary testing
• Scale parameter validation

This infrastructure provides a solid foundation for ensuring the bcmath polyfill maintains 100% compatibility with the native PHP extension.

Code Review: Docker-based PHPT Test Runner

🎯 Overall Assessment

This PR adds valuable Docker-based PHPT testing infrastructure that significantly enhances the project's testing capabilities by running official PHP core bcmath tests. The implementation is well-structured and addresses a real need for comprehensive compatibility testing.

✅ Strengths

Architecture & Design

• Excellent separation of concerns: Clean separation between Dockerfile setup and test runner logic
• Comprehensive feature set: Supports test skipping, pattern matching, help system, and flexible execution modes
• Volume mounting approach: Enables fast iteration without rebuilding containers
• Extension isolation: Properly ensures bcmath extension is disabled for accurate polyfill testing
• Bootstrap injection: Clever automatic injection of polyfill into test files

Code Quality

• Robust error handling: Proper error checking throughout the script (line 55-73)
• Clear documentation: Excellent inline help system and usage examples
• Maintainable structure: Well-organized functions and clear flow control
• Standards compliance: Follows shell scripting best practices with set -e

⚠️ Areas for Improvement

Security Concerns (Medium Priority)

1. Shell injection vulnerability in argument processing:

   # Line 14: SKIP_TESTS="$2" - No input sanitization
   # Line 206: Command substitution with user input
   IFS=',' read -ra SKIP_ARRAY <<< "$SKIP_TESTS"

   Recommendation: Add input validation to reject special characters in skip patterns.

2. File path injection in test file handling:

   # Lines 220-240: TEST_FILES array processed without validation

   Recommendation: Validate that test files exist and are within expected directories.

Potential Bugs

1. Race condition in temporary file creation (line 89):

   local temp_file=$(mktemp)

   Recommendation: Add cleanup trap to ensure temp files are removed even if script fails.

2. Missing dependency check for required tools:

   • No verification that php, awk, docker commands are available
     Recommendation: Add pre-flight dependency checks at script start.

3. Error handling gaps in file operations:

   # Line 141: No error checking after awk processing
   awk '...' "$phpt_file.bak" > "$phpt_file"

Performance Considerations

1. Inefficient file processing: Each .phpt file is processed multiple times:

   • Once for --EXTENSIONS-- removal (line 77-116)
   • Once for bootstrap injection (line 120-148)
     Recommendation: Combine these operations into a single pass.

2. Excessive file I/O: Creating backup files that are immediately deleted
   Recommendation: Use in-place editing or streaming where possible.

Test Coverage & Robustness

1. Limited error scenario testing: The test runner doesn't handle edge cases like:

   • Corrupted .phpt files
   • Missing required sections in test files
   • Network issues when copying from php-src

2. No validation of test file integrity: After modification, files aren't validated to ensure they're still valid PHPT format.

🔧 Specific Recommendations

High Priority Fixes

# Add input validation at script start
validate_skip_patterns() {
    if [[ "$SKIP_TESTS" =~ [^a-zA-Z0-9,_-] ]]; then
        echo "Error: Skip patterns contain invalid characters"
        exit 1
    fi
}

# Add dependency checks
check_dependencies() {
    for cmd in php awk docker; do
        command -v "$cmd" >/dev/null 2>&1 || {
            echo "Error: $cmd is required but not installed"
            exit 1
        }
    done
}

Medium Priority Improvements

1. Combined file processing to reduce I/O operations
2. Progress indicators for long-running operations
3. Configurable PHP version support as mentioned in TODO
4. Enhanced error messages with suggestions for common issues

Documentation Enhancements

• Add troubleshooting section to help output
• Include examples of common skip patterns
• Document expected php-src directory structure

🚀 Future Considerations

• CI Integration: The TODO mentions GitHub Actions integration - this would be valuable
• Performance benchmarking: Compare against native extension performance
• Windows support: Current implementation is Unix-focused

📊 Test Coverage Assessment

The PR significantly improves test coverage by:

• Adding official PHP core test validation
• Providing EXPECT-based validation (not just error-free execution)
• Enabling comprehensive bcmath function testing
• Supporting systematic regression testing

However, it doesn't include:

• Unit tests for the test runner itself
• Validation of Docker image security
• End-to-end integration tests

🎯 Conclusion

This is a high-value addition to the project that substantially improves testing infrastructure. The implementation is solid with good architecture decisions. The identified security and robustness issues are addressable and don't block the core functionality.

Recommendation: Approve after addressing the high-priority security concerns, particularly input validation for the --skip parameter.

The Docker-based approach is excellent and aligns well with modern testing practices. This will be valuable for ensuring long-term compatibility with PHP core bcmath behavior.

Code Review: Docker-based PHPT Test Runner

Summary

This PR adds a comprehensive Docker-based testing infrastructure for validating the bcmath polyfill against official PHP-src PHPT tests. The implementation is well-structured and addresses a critical testing gap.

🟢 Strengths

Architecture & Design

• Clean separation of concerns: Docker environment isolation from test execution logic
• Comprehensive CLI interface: Well-designed --skip and --help options
• Robust error handling: Proper exit codes and detailed error messages
• Volume mounting strategy: Enables fast iteration during development

Code Quality

• Shell scripting best practices: Uses set -e for error handling, proper quoting, and function encapsulation
• Dockerfile optimization: Multi-stage approach with proper layer caching
• CI/CD integration: Seamless integration with existing GitHub Actions workflow

🟡 Areas for Improvement

Performance Considerations

1. Large skip list in CI: Line 97 has an extremely long skip list that should be refactored:

   # Current (hard to maintain)
   --skip bcceil,bccomp,bcdivmod,bcfloor,bcmod,bcpow,bcpowmod,bcround,bcscale,bug54598...
   
   # Suggested improvement
   --skip-file .github/skip-tests.txt

2. Redundant dependency installation: The script installs composer dependencies every time, even when using volume mounts.

Code Maintainability

1. Magic number in timeout: timeout 30s in the old script (removed) was hardcoded
2. Missing error recovery: If PHPT file processing fails partway through, there's no cleanup mechanism
3. Verbose debug output: Lines 160-182 contain extensive debug output that might be better as a --verbose flag

Security Considerations

• Dockerfile: Uses latest tag for composer image (line 10) - should be pinned to specific version
• File permissions: Script doesn't validate file permissions before processing
• Path traversal: No validation of file paths when processing PHPT files

🔧 Specific Code Issues

Dockerfile.test-without-bcmath:14

RUN php -m | grep bcmath && echo 'extension=' > /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/disable-bcmath.ini || echo "bcmath not loaded"

Issue: This creates an empty extension directive. Should be more explicit:

RUN echo '; Disable bcmath extension for testing' > /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/disable-bcmath.ini

scripts/docker-phpt-runner.sh:95-107

The AWK script for removing --EXTENSIONS-- sections could be more robust:

# Consider edge cases like nested sections or malformed files
awk 'BEGIN { in_extensions = 0; section_count = 0 }
/^--[A-Z]+--$/ { 
    if (in_extensions && $0 != "--EXTENSIONS--") { in_extensions = 0 }
    if ($0 == "--EXTENSIONS--") { in_extensions = 1; next }
}
!in_extensions { print }'

🧪 Test Coverage

• Good: Covers core arithmetic operations (bcadd, bcsub, bcmul, bcdiv)
• Missing: No integration tests for the Docker setup itself
• Suggestion: Add a simple smoke test to verify the container environment

🐛 Potential Bugs

1. Race condition: Multiple PHPT files could be processed concurrently, causing file conflicts
2. Memory usage: Large test suites might exceed container memory limits
3. Bootstrap injection: Lines 123-143 assume all PHPT files have --FILE-- sections

📝 Recommendations

High Priority

1. Pin composer version in Dockerfile
2. Extract skip list to separate configuration file
3. Add error recovery for PHPT processing failures

Medium Priority

1. Add --verbose flag for debug output
2. Validate file paths before processing
3. Add container memory limits in CI

Low Priority

1. Consider parallel test execution for performance
2. Add progress indicators for long test runs
3. Generate test reports in machine-readable format
