PHPUnit could not open input file

Question

I've attempted to install PHPUnit on a windows 2008 server with IIS and I've followed the instructions on the PHPUnit site in terms of manually creating a batch file and setting the environment variable however, when I try checking the installation in CMD.exe

phpunit --version

I'm getting the "Could not open input file: *" error message. However, when I run

php phpunit.phar --version 

it correctly gives me the version number. I need to know what's causing the error incase it's anything i've potentially done during the installation that's caused it. To confirm the directory has been listed within the system path variable.

Answer 1

Remove the version in the phar filename (ex. from phpunit-5.4.7.phar to phpunit.phar), then the script should run.

Answer 2

If you created phpunit.cmd and it still doesn't work, you should just rename phpunit-7.0.2.phar to phpunit.phar, because, by default, it refers to a name phpunit.phar
