Where is PHPUnit?

Question

Resolved!

I uninstalled phpunit from pear and then reinstalled it again. I believe I was using the wrong/old/not enough sources before installing. Works like a charm!

---

So I'm trying to set up PEAR & PHPUnit. I was following http://www.newmediacampaigns.com/page/install-pear-phpunit-xdebug-on-macosx-snow-leopard but after I installed pear I had a different directory structure in /usr/local. Regardless, I was able run the phpunit install. But now I'm lost and asking for help before I make a bigger mess :)

pear config-show says:

PEAR directory                 php_dir          /usr/local/share/pear

And my php.ini file (and confirmed in phpinfo() says:

include_path=".:/usr/local/share/pear"

So that's good, right? But now what? I get

Failed opening required 'PHPUnit/Framework.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/share/pear')

If I try to include it in the php. And I have no idea where the binary might be to run it from the command line.

Inside /usr/local/share/pear/PHPUnit there are two directories "Extensions" and "Framework"

Answer 1

It sometimes happen that the install fails on PHPUnit specifically, but succeeds on the dependencies, so it only looks like the install was succesfull.

Try this when installing

pear install --force --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit

The --force option will force the install of PHPUnit, even if all the dependencies can't be met. In my case there was a missing dependency for the dom PHP extension which blocked the installation even though the PHP_Invoker package could be used instead.

The --alldeps option makes sure that all of the dependencies got installed.

Check for a bin directory in the pear install, something along the lines of /usr/local/share/pear/bin/ - your install is different than mine..

You could also try searching for the binary -

find /usr/local/share/pear -name 'phpunit'
