phpunit require_once() error

Question

I recently installed phpunit on my server via the pear installer.

When I go to run a test I get the following error:

PHP Warning: require_once(PHPUnit/Util/Filter.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/bin/phpunit on line 44

PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'PHPUnit/Util/Filter.php' (include_path='.:/usr/bin/php') in /usr/bin/phpunit on line 44

After doing some searching, I tried making some modifications to the include_path in my php.ini file on the server. But that hasn't done a thing.

Any idea what might be causing this?

Answer 1

UPDATE: As of 2013 November and Ubuntu 12.04 these 2 commands should suffice:

sudo pear config-set auto_discover 1
sudo pear install pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit

The following is an older answer. It's a known problem , although almost a year and a half had passed. Read about it here

The code coverage must be installed in order for phpunit to work properly

What you need to do is covered here:

code coverage installation through PEAR

Basically you have to type (with sudo if you don't have permissions, taken that phpunit is already installed):

pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
pear channel-discover components.ez.no
pear install phpunit/PHP_CodeCoverage

Answer 2

I had this problem on OS X. Fixed it with the following commands which force all the php dependencies to be reinstalled, which included a couple of packages from other channels that were not already configured:

sudo pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com
sudo pear channel-discover components.ez.no
sudo pear install --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit

and specially this comment for ubuntu 11.04 and may be for some others too

even though i did ths steps as recommended above, i didn't get it to work but after i upgraded pear from 1.9.1 to 1.9.2 it's working perfectly just do this

speshu@speshu-laptop:~$ sudo pear upgrade pear

   downloading PEAR-1.9.2.tgz ...
   Starting to download PEAR-1.9.2.tgz (295,120 bytes)
    .....................................................done: 295,120 bytes
    upgrade ok: channel://pear.php.net/PEAR-1.9.2
    PEAR: Optional feature webinstaller available (PEAR's web-based installer)
    PEAR: Optional feature gtkinstaller available (PEAR's PHP-GTK-based installer)
    PEAR: Optional feature gtk2installer available (PEAR's PHP-GTK2-based installer)
    PEAR: To install optional features use "pear install pear/PEAR#featurename"

Answer 4

If it is the first time you are using PEAR, perhaps you have not configured the include path right. Take a look at the appropriate section in the PEAR manual .

Answer 6

(include_path='.:/usr/bin/php')

Are you sure you added it to the include_path?

It might also help if we saw your ini file, and the include_path snippet in it...

Answer 7

I found it!

Looks like PEAR installed PHPUnit in /usr/share/pear. Not sure why but that's where it is. Must be a (mt) thing.

Anyway, I'm all set. Thanks for the help.

Answer 8

This is also what happens if you have an out-of-date or incomplete PHPUnit install. Please be aware that after you set up PEAR, you must add the PHPUnit.de channel in order to get an up-to-date package.

Answer 9

In my case, I solved it by adding /usr/share/php/PEAR to the include_path .

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.2.

Answer 10

If you have problems with accessing components try another way.

1. Install pear

    sudo apt-get install php-pear 

2. Install phpunit by using pear.

    pear config-set auto_discover 1 pear install pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit 

3. Install phpunit /Selenium, but first you need to install curl module

    sudo apt-get install php5-curl pear install phpunit/PHPUnit_Selenium 

Answer 11

I had this problem . I was developing a zend framework site. Finally I manage to solve it by removing the zend installation and removing/commenting the include path in bath php.ini files in apache and cli. To develop site with zend we don't need to have zend installed. Insted we can copy the library to our site folder

Answer 12

对我来说，多次分批测试有帮助。

Answer 13

You can solve this issue by redefining the environment variables in PEAR. This is how I solved the problem and I used Ubuntu 12.10

http://rkrants.blogspot.in/2013/01/installing-phpunitpear-in-ubuntu-1210.html

In short it defines the paths and then reinstalls phpunit

Answer 14

Ubuntu 12.04:

sudo pear channel-discover pear.symfony.com
sudo pear install --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit

Answer 15

I had the same issue with Windows 8 Similar to the top answer, I needed to start the command line, however make sure to run cmd.exe as administrator . Then the two commands

pear config-set auto_discover 1
pear install pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit

Answer 16

I was having the same problem. Netbeans was reporting that the phpunit version was too old (which it wasn't). Running the phpunit script directly showed the above messages.

I solved it adding:

include_path=".:/usr/share/php"

To /etc/php5/cli/php.ini

Please NOTE that the php.ini file is the one for php CLI (command) not the php.ini used for apache!

Answer 17

My original problem was I could not get the command line version of php (yum install php or yum install php-cli) to upgrade to => php5.2.7 I was stuck on 5.1 version

I had already compiled php 5.3.3 for use with apache. So I setup a symbolic link from /usr/bin/php (the command line default) to my compiled version in /var/php5/bin/php to get the command line php reporting 5.3.3

Then I refollowed the pear install steps for phpunit

But it still needed the code coverage stuff when I ran phpunit.

So I hunted code coverage down under /var/php5/lib/php/PHP/CodeCoverage and added that to the include path in php.ini include_path=".:/var/php5/lib/php/"

Make sure to add it to the include path without /PHP because phpunit starts at PHP/ (notice caps) looking for Code Coverage Failed opening required 'PHP/CodeCoverage/Filter.php'
