Title: Always clears tables » Provide a mechanism for leaving prefix tables
Category: bug » feature
Status: Active » Postponed (maintainer needs more info)

We had this discussion in core. The variable is not intended to leave the simpletest3948... tables...it leaves the "results" as in those in the simpletest table. The idea being that modules like PIFR or other integrations may want to do further analysis or work with the data.

If we want to provide another variable to leave tables...or change the meaning of this one that is a possibility, but not the purpose of the variable.

Personally I never have a need to look at the tables...at least not something that can't be figured out with debug() or verbose and dumbing things out. If you need to though: inside DrupalWebTestCase::tearDown() comment out line 1256

db_drop_table($ret, $name);

and the tables will be there for you to inspect.
