Testing Case & ActivityCase: need help

[xavier]

Hi,

Nothing is tested on api.case, and I have a lot of stuff that behave unexpectedly.

I don't know enough about case if it's a bug or a feature, would need one of the core to help me.

In no particular order:
1) Can an activity belong to several cases? what's the point of a separate table instead of a case_id in civicrm_activity?

2) creating an activity with param ['case_id'] doesn't create a an activity. Looking at the code in Activity, seems to depend on the text [case xxx] in the subject (?!) to trigger the link (?!)

That one I fixed in the api.activity (revision 34165), not sure it was the right place.

A lot of action and activities seems to create "magic around" (eg when you change the status it creates and activity, when you change client it create a new case...). Is this described somewhere ?

Or am I blind and the case api is already tested floor to bottom ?
