PHPUnit: bootstrap not being executed?

Question

When running a test, my phpunit.xml is being loaded by PHPUnit. I can see it in the console as --bootstrap parameter, but it seems like it's not being executed?

In the xml I set bootstrap="bootstrap.php" Is it normal that the xml file contents are echoed just below the line Testing started at... and just above PHPUnit 3.7.21 by Sebastian Bergmann. ? Any way in my bootstrap.php file I just put

die "bootstrap executed";

But never see that. What could be wrong?

Edit: This is the contents of phpunit.xml:

<phpunit bootstrap="./bootstrap.php">
</phpunit>

Answer 1

You need to launch the phpunit in one of the following example:

#for load a bootstrap php file (with full path and file extension)
>phpunit --bootstrap bootstrap.php

or

#for load with your xml configuration
>phpunit -c phpunit.xml

Hope this help
