Enter a descriptive title (above) relating to TestBase::generatePermutations, then describe the problem you have found:

In the example code TestBase::permute() is called, when what is meant is the function itself, i.e. TestBase::generatePermutations. This is minor, but still a bit weird.

Good catch! It looks like the method name was probably changed (there is no permute() method now), and the documentation wasn't updated.

This also applies to the D7 method:

Oh no, wait, sorry. I just checked, and generatePermutations() is actually a static method. So instead of
$this->generatePermutations($parameters)
we should do
TestBase::generatePermutations($parameters)

Very odd... Every place that generatePermutations is actually called in tests, it is called via $this->generatePermutations(), not TestBase::generatePermutations(). But it is a static method... I guess you can call it either way? Anyway, I'll get this committed to 7.x and 8.x.

The commit will probably need to wait until this issue is fixed:

Re #9: Yeah, for some reason PHP doesn't throw a fatal on that. Although IIRC it is an E_STRICT on PHP 5.3, but I guess noone runs tests with E_STRICT on 5.3.

I wouldn't say that. When I am developing, I *always* run all my code and tests with E_STRICT. :) But I guess the test bot doesn't. :(

Yes, I do too. But who has the time to run the full suite these days. :-)

That issue is back to 7.x, so I committed this patch to 8.x.

This patch now needs a re-roll for 7.x, but the commit to 7.x will need to wait for that issue to be fixed.

Thanks! I'm afraid to commit this until #1563620: All unit tests blow up with a fatal error lands, in case of a conflict... but we'll get it in sometime soon.

I just checked and these two patches do not conflict.

Therefore, committed and pushed to 7.x. Thanks!
