Automated checks on the Tiki code base

We are planning to add a Continuous Integration system for Tiki. This system will permit an automated test of common issues. And thus, make the release process quite a bit easier. See also: How to improve the release process

Please add your wishes below

Database schema patches suffix should be _tiki.sql or _tiki.php

Also, if a _tiki.sql was added without a change to tiki.sql, there is likely an issue.
See Database Schema Upgrade

Update vs clean install database check

Compare (at least the structure of) a clean install from tiki.sql with previous (LTS?) version with upgrade patches applied

The colon should be in the tr block

Thanks for this commit and the other one Ricardo.
The colon should be in the tr block, otherwise, there cannot be a space before the colon in French (and possibly other languages). Note that this cannot increase the number of strings that translators have to translate, because translating "foo:" will use a translation of just "foo" if there is no direct translation of "foo:".

dos2unix

find . -type f \( ! -regex '.*/\..*' ! -path './vendor*' ! -path './temp*' ! -iname '*.png' ! -iname '*.jpg' ! -iname '*.gif' \) | xargs dos2unix

Adapted from: http://serverfault.com/questions/205499/how-to-do-dos2unix-to-tpl-recursively-in-linux

Above line fixes, BOM encoding, Detect BOM in a Tiki health check and in release process, convert to Unix EOL and fixes other invisible weirdness; without touching externals.

Check the presence of index.php and .htaccess in all relevant directories

But don't touch externals...

Check for empty directories

Check PHP & Smarty Syntax, etc.

For target versions of PHP

• Also JSLint and some sort of tests for minified javascript (somehow)

Unit Testing Cleanup

Re-indexing Fail Test

The re-indexing touches many parts of the code and is fragile because of this. It presents a unique opportunity to catch errors early.
