How do I solve this error: "Class PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase could not be found"

Question

I am trying to run a SeleniumTestCase with phpunit but I cannot get it to run with the phpunit.bat script.

My goal is to use phpunit with Selenium RC in CruiseControl & phpUnderControl. This is what the test looks like:

require_once 'PHPUnit/Extensions/SeleniumTestCase.php';

class WebTest extends PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase
{
    protected function setUp()
    {
        $this->setBrowser('*firefox');
        $this->setBrowserUrl('http://www.example.com/');
    }

    public function testTitle()
    {
        $this->open('http://www.example.com/');
        $this->assertTitleEquals('Example Web Page');
    }
}

I also got PEAR in the include_path and PHPUnit installed with the Selenium extension. I installed these with the pear installer so I guess that's not the problem.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks, Remy

Answer 1

hopefully this is a more definitive answer then the ones given here (which did not solve me problem). If you are getting this error, check your PEAR folder and see if the "SeleniumTestCase.php" file is actually there:

/PEAR/PHPUnit/Extensions/SeleniumTestCase.php

If it is NOT, the easiest thing to do is to uninstall and reinstall PHPUnit using PEAR ...

pear uninstall phpunit/PHPUnit

pear uninstall phpunit/PHPUnit_Selenium

pear install phpunit/PHPUnit

After doing the above and doing just the single install, PHPUnit_Selenium was also auto installed, I'm not sure if this is typical, so some might have to do...

pear install phpunit/PHPUnit_Selenium

Also see http://www.phpunit.de/manual/3.5/en/installation.html for PEAR channel info if needed...
