A simple way to create arrays for Drupal testing

So after not playing Company of Heroes…. I’m back on Drupal module development, in particular how to create tests as quickly as possible.

I found two things:

You can print out php arrays, classes etc pretty easily by using the “var_export($array,TRUE)” function (thanks Stack overflow! stackoverflow.com/questions/6759864/how-to-create-an-array-from-var-dump-result )

And when you get things like “stdClass::__set_state()” you can replace it with a cast to object, like “(object)”. Thanks Drupal forums… https://drupal.org/node/584672

Now there’s no excuse for not testing your code :-)!
