HEAD is broken, simple test failure on adding a comment

according to the test results there's a problem on the permissions.

https://qa.drupal.org/pifr/test/1171523

I'm working on a similar HEAD broken case for webform_internationalization and came accross a possible solution to permission issues.

Apparently the permission cache might need to be reset after (OR in this case, BEFORE) each call to drupalCreateUser
see possible solution here: https://api.drupal.org/comment/28739#comment-28739

there could be other problems as well with the simple tests, however I'm focussing on the permissions error:
Line 89 search_api.test

$this->drupalLogin($this->drupalCreateUser(array('administer search_api')));

The test bot says: Invalid permission administer search_api.

Perhaps we might try calling

$this-­>checkPermissions(array('administer search_api'), TRUE) ;

right before line 89

again, see this comment "reset permission cache"

I expect this to fail, but will use the results of the failure to create a new patch.

should be checkPermissions , not checkPermission

try again

Excellent, that was helpful, now here for the real patch that will fix the issue:

Lets get this fix in. Its blocking testing of other real issues.

ok, looks like the issue is no longer a problem.
