PHPUnit on MAMP - throwing a fatal error

Question

I am attempting to get phpUnit to function properly with MAMP on OS High Sierra and when trying to run a simple test it throws

"Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'PHPUnit/Framework/TestCase.php'

I've looked at several StackOverflow articles and they suggest changing it to "autoload.php"

that then throws...

"Failed opening required 'PHPUnit/Autoload.php'"

This is on Zend Framework 1 with PHP 7.2.

Answer 1

If you use Composer to install the PHPUnit, make sure you run it like this:

./vendor/bin/phpunit --bootstrap vendor/autoload.php tests/EmailTest

Or include vendor/autoload.php in your phpunit.xml like this:

<phpunit xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://schema.phpunit.de/6.1/phpunit.xsd"
         backupGlobals="false"
         colors="true"
         bootstrap="vendor/autoload.php"
>

See the docs .

Answer 2

The issue was the version of the framework. 1.8 is just not going to work. Phpunit works just fine with a 3.0.3 Skeleton. I'm going to research migrating the codebase to 3.0.3

Thanks for you help
