It's possibly introduced by the new LogViewer plugin that I added recently. Can you let me know which tests fail for you and I'd try to write them in a way that they do not fail and do not need any custom adjustments.

@tsteur nope LogViewer did not introduced this.

There is just no documentation, what settings you need to run this testsuite.

I use those settings now (mostly from the travis config link above)

[database_tests]
host = 127.0.0.1
username = piwik_developmen
password =test
dbname = piwik_tests
adapter = PDO\MYSQL
; no table prefix for tests on travis
tables_prefix =

[tests]
http_host = "http://localhost/GitHub/piwik"
request_uri = "/"

[log]
log_writers[] = file
log_level = info

[Development]
enabled = 1
disable_merged_assets = 1

Oh, this sounds like a bug then. Our tests should be config independent. If it is config independent and we cannot fix it for some reasons we should add list print this information and check whether config is configured as needed etc.

Some specials i found:

• the database name must be piwik_tests (its checked somewhere in the tests)
• tables_prefixes must also be blank, otherwise they fail too

@tsteur what do you reckon is our next steps here?

I'm not sure. Ideally we have a specific case that we can reproduce and fix, not sure if this is given here.

@ThaDafinser please create a new issue with steps to reproduce issue and we'll investigate!
