phpunit with composer not working

Question

Background: i am on a windows host and sshing into a vagrant LAMP setup (ubuntu 13.04).

I have installed phpunit with composer using the following line in my composer.json:

"require-dev": {
        "phpunit/phpunit": "3.7.*"
}

I have then run composer update which installed phpunit. I can now navigate to /vendor/bin and see phpunit binary.

However if i type phpunit from within that directory (or anywhere elese for that matter) I get the error "phpunit is not installed"

Any suggestions as to where I go next with this - there are so few steps involved in this setup I really cant see where I could have gone wrong

Answer 1

So I had this issue too, for me the fix was to change in my vagrant file:

config.vm.synced_folder "C:/dev/vm/share", "/var/www/", mount_options: ['dmode=777','fmode=666']

to

config.vm.synced_folder "C:/dev/vm/share", "/var/www/", mount_options: ['dmode=777','fmode=777']

There is a lot of advise saying 666 is permissive enough, but in my case it was not and as this is only a development machine the security implications are not too important.

Answer 2

./phpunit from the bin directory.

It's just not in your path.
