PhpStorm PHPUnit testreporter error

Question

I have installed PHPUnit via Composer and set it up to run the unit tests with my installation through settings.

But when I run the tests I get the following error for the test reporter (the tets executes just fine):

Unable to attach test reporter to test framework or test framework quit unexpectedly

You should point to your vendor/autoload.php at Settings | PHP | PHPUnit when using PHPUnit via Composer.

This blog post has all the details (with pictures) to successfully configure IDE for such scenario: http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/PHPUnit+Installation+via+Composer+in+PhpStorm
