selenium testing in cakephp with phpunit - php

Question

I want to learn about ui testing with selenium in phpunit. I had phpunit installed on my cakephp project, and it was running perfectly. Then I decided to install selenium following the steps described in https://phpunit.de/manual/3.7/en/selenium.html (i installed selenium in my project with the following command $ php composer.phar require --dev phpunit/phpunit-selenium: ">=1.2". Now after starting the selenium server with its jar file, I have been trying to run the example test provided in the link above, but I am receiving the following error:
$ vendor/bin/phpunit
PHP Fatal error: Class
'PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase' not found in
/var/www/html/ujols/vendor/phpunit/phpunit-selenium/PHPUnit/Extensions/Selenium2TestCase.php
on line 97
Seems like the error is related to the Selenium2TestCase.php file that was installed with the composer. This is how the Selenium2TestCase.php file starts:
abstract class PHPUnit_Extensions_Selenium2TestCase extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
Is there anyone here who managed to install selenium on cakephp or any other php framework? I would be super grateful if you could help me fix the problem
EDIT the sample test case i ve been trying to run to check if selenium is working:
PlainviewTest.php
<?php
class WebTest extends PHPUnit_Extensions_Selenium2TestCase
{
protected function setUp()
{
$this->setBrowser('firefox');
$this->setBrowserUrl('http://www.example.com/');
}
public function testTitle()
{
$this->url('http://www.example.com/');
$this->assertEquals('Example WWW Page', $this->title());
}
}
?>

I figured a way to get selenium integrated with phpunit in my app with a lot of help from #ndm, here are the steps:
Follow the easy installation steps here - Testing with Selenium WebDriver + PHPUnit
*Make sure your new ui-tests are not in the same folder with unit tests, I had mine in the same folder and kept getting fatal errors.
*If running the ./vendor/bin/steward run staging firefox command returns an error, then change firefox to chrome. If you still keep getting error (like I did), install chromedriver and run again. It should work.
It was really worth all the effort.
