Running PHPUnit Tests in Separate Processes

Question

I'm working on an AOP framework so I need to redeclare some environment variables and re-include files which are re-compiled by the framework on each test. I'm trying to run each test in a separate process so that I can do this but I'm not sure of how to do this in Zend Studio.

I've added the @runTestsInSeparateProcesses annotation to my tests but this causes the tests to fail with the error message:

testName: [Zend Debugger] Cannot receive start command

Has anyone been able to solve this error or find another way to run each test in a separate process in Zend?

Answer 1

zend debugger is not super hot with phpunit. If possible use xdebug instead.
