How to use PHPUnit on remote server with PhpStorm 8 - php

I've got a php-fpm 5.3.10 installation running on Ubuntu 12.04 on a remote server, and I'm trying to use PHPUnit from within PhpStorm 8 (as of yesterday). I don't have a local php installation.
I have installed PHPUnit on my server and can use it via the commandline.
I have (seemingly) successfully linked my PhpStorm to my remote server and remote interpreter, and configured the right deployment settings.
At first I had an issue where it would try to run my local paths remotely, but that issue has been sorted. However, I keep getting the error Cannot find PHPUnit in include path (.:/usr/share/php:/usr/local/bin). This is almost certainly a serverside error (PhpStorm also knows these include paths, it could be confusing them for local paths) as the paths change when I change my include path in my php.ini.
This is the same error it gives back if I don't install PHPUnit at all, so again it would seem this is a serverside issue.
I have tried installing PHPUnit through PEAR (which is deprecated and soon unsupported by PHPUnit but still mentioned in a lot of PhpStorm tutorials), through Composer (on the remote server, not in PhpStorm) and even just manually.
The server accepted these installation methods just fine (the PEAR method seems to install an older version of PHPUnit, 1.0.x instead of the apparently available 4.0.x) but they all give the same issue.
If I manually place PHPUnit in my include path (I'm unsure what kind of files it wants there, though. a .phar? Source files?) it does seem to pick up something, but I get an XDebug error instead and it tells me it can't find the necessary PHPUnit files so I assume it is not the way to go (it shouldn't have to be).
At this point I'm starting to run out of ideas and none of the Stackoverflow responses to similar issues or PhpStorm/PHPUnit documentations seem to be able to help me.
Edit 1: Included picture of settings, as requested.
(can't post images yet, not enough rep)
settings
Other than that it's probably worth noting I'm using a mounted folder for my deployment, which just refers to the filesystem of my server (it's in my local network)
Edit 2: Changed deployment to SFTP as suggested and updated my mappings, as PhpStorm is able to successfully validate my remote environment everything seems to be in order there.
After reinstalling PHPUnit via Composer and selecting the autoloader in my PHPUnit settings it was still giving the error about the include path (it shouldn't do when the autoloader is used, should it?) so I changed the include path to point to /usr/share/php/Composer/vendor/phpunit (and the two directories above it, for good measure).
It was still giving the error, however in the error it says it cannot find PHPUnit in the include path, while the installation is in a directory called phpunit (all lowercase). After changing the directory name to PHPUnit, it is no longer giving the include path error, but en XDebug error instead : Warning: include(/usr/share/php/Composer/vendor/phpunit/phpunit/PHPUnit/TextUI/ResultPrinter.php) [<a href='function.include'>function.include</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/share/php/Composer/vendor/composer/ClassLoader.php on line <i>382</i>
I'm unsure what this implies exactly, and I don't know whether the error is because I should not be changing the directory names (it seems as if that should not be necessary), because I haven't changed enough of them (other directories are likely still lowercase) or because these files should simply not be in the include path (composer should be managing my dependencies, shouldn't it?).

In some cases, this can be resolved extremely easily. PHPStorm looks for the folder PHPUnit in the include path(s), but I've found this is case sensitive! Installing through composer will install PHPUnit in a folder called /vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit, this is all lower case. This means that PHPStorm will not be able to find the folder unless you change the folder name to 'PHPUnit'. The include path should therefore be: /usr/share/php/composer/vendor/phpunit/phpunit and in that folder, there should be another folder called 'PHPUnit' (case sensitive!). I'm sure this isn't the prefect solution, but it works.

Composer updates at ftp-only hosting

I am working on a project where composer (https://getcomposer.org) is used. My problem is, the destination server is equipped with only FTP access (no shell, ssh, rsync). Each time I run "composer update" or another "require" at my dev machine, I need to upload all the vendor directory. As for now, +16k files are not a big problem yet, but even a small change requires a transfer of relatively huge amount of data.
I have tried to git the vendor directory, and use "git ftp" to deploy only the changed files, but as some libraries are seen as subprojects and/or have their own .gitignore files included - this method doesn't work quite well.
Runnig a script exec("composer update") seems to be not working either. Probably, the "exec" function at the live server is disabled, which on other hand, doesn't seem to be a bad idea on a public server (security issues, to be investigated by me).
I would love to find something like "composer remote synch" or similar method to transfer only the new installed or updated libraries to the remote server (composer.json, autoload.php of course included, but these obvious files are not a problem). Any tips, ideas?

CaBundle open_basedir restriction

We have a project that has been in production for months (all its configs were working fine, no issues - including https and user access).
We rewrote part of code under Symfony 4 (no framework was used before that). Everything works perfectly on local, but, in production we started getting the following error in logs:
vendor/composer/ca-bundle/src/CaBundle.php is_dir(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/local/etc/openssl) is not within the allowed path(s)
Any idea what might cause that (well... the error is obvious and one fix would be just to include that in allowed paths, but I don't want to do that until I understand the root cause of the problem)?
Important notes:
We did not include that particular bundle, is part of the composer.
Composer doesn't fail and no errors are received during composer install command.
The project SEEMS to work as expected despite the log line.
We have Cloudfare in front and https certificate is correcty handled there.
The list of used bundles is rather short but if needed I can provide a list.
We make no specific calls to functions from that bundle (if any are made, are made by something in symfony/3rd party bundles but a quick search in all code (including vendor) revealed nothing).
I'm kind of running out of ideas what might be causing the problem, especially since it doesn't happen on local and even in production the project seems OK.
The CA-bundle is trying to read from the usr/local/etc/openssl, and it fails because it's not in one of the allowed directories for the PHP process.
It happens in one machine and not in the other because your local openbase_dir settings do not match those in production (and are likely to be much lax, as it usually happens on development).
Your have two options:
Change your openbase_dir setting on production so it's more permissive, at least for that specific virtual-host.
Check which package you are installing depends on Ca-Bundle, and remove that package so it's no longer included.

Eclipse MakeGood Error: PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase class is not available

I've been having an issue setting up XDebug (2.6.0) to work with PHPUnit (6.0.13) in Eclipse Neon (4.6.3). I've had XDebug working within my browser, and have had PHPUnit working from the command line, however am unable to get the two working together.
I'm working within a Vagrant VM running Ubuntu, with OSX as my main system.
XDebug is installed globally through Vagrant and PHPUnit is installed via Composer. In my Project Settings, I have pointed a PHP Executable to /usr/bin/php, using the system default .ini file., however this is the file on my machine, rather than the file on the VM, so I don't know if I need to adjust this, but nothing I read mentioned it?
The issue I am having is that my 'MakeGood' tab is showing the error 'PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase class is not available. Fix...' even though I have included the vendor/autoload.php file within the Project Preferences. I have also tried setting up a custom library pointing towards the vendors/ folder, as I saw suggested on a blog post, however it didn't help anything. So any suggestions as to what else to try would be greatly appreciated.
I've tried looking around on here and further across the web, and most of the resources I can find talk only about setting it up referencing through PEAR, however that obviously doesn't work with Composer.
As always, thanks for any help you can provide.
Edit: Just in case it makes any difference, my tests are stored in tests/, with the namespace \App\Test and my classes in resources/src/ with the namespace \App.

Netbeans does not find all my include_once paths

I've just imported a largish php project into NetBeans. Under the top directory I have "app1", "app2", "app3", etc. (each of which are mapped to a domain name), then a "shared" directory for (you guessed it) files used by all the apps.
In app1/route/Search.inc it has:
include_once "../shared/lib/search.inc";
But ctrl-B on this line does nothing. Makes sense, from NetBeans point of view of this as one large application, it should be "../../shared/lib/search.inc". But, for the way the apps are configured, the above is correct, and NetBeans is wrong.
How do I tell NetBeans it needs to go one extra directory up?
Under Include Path, I tried adding "/full/path/to/app1" (so then "../shared/lib/" would be found) (I tried Private tab, then Shared tab, with same results.) But it rejects that, telling me the app1 directory is already part of the application. There is no "Do what I say, and don't think about it, slap!" button.
Adding symbolic links in the file system, just for NetBeans, feels a bit ugly.
I'm wondering if I should make one NetBeans project per app? (I actually tried that first, but as all apps are in the same git repository it gave a lot of noise, so I assumed that was the wrong way.)
ADDITIONAL: I'm most interested in the answer to my last question - is it standard practice to keep each app as a separate NetBeans project, even if they are all in the same git repository?
Product Version: NetBeans IDE 8.0.2 (Build 201411181905)
Updates: NetBeans IDE is updated to version NetBeans 8.0.2 Patch 1
Java: 1.7.0_79; OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 24.79-b02
Runtime: OpenJDK Runtime Environment 1.7.0_79-b14
(on linux Mint 17)
Make shure that all files of your project are in the project's include path (righ click project -> properties -> include path). Usually there is only the "global include path", which you configure in the NetBeans settings (e.g. to point to your PEAR directory). Add all directories which contain source code you want auto completion for to this include path. Hint: This include path has nothing to do with the include_path used in PHP itself.

Yes you should have different NetBeans projects if your apps are separate, and since they are on different domains, it sounds like they are pretty distinct.
One way you can reduce the noise level of this approach is to right click the other app directories and find the option to Mark directory as > excluded and it should disappear (and the files won't be indexed for autocomplete / search / etc).
I have no problems with such a scenario, if I only select the filename. Then NetBeans search for a file with this name in the whole project directory.
If I select the filename and the path, it does not work. Maybe that is your problem?
I have changed nothing else and it works like a charm.
there is a alternative way to set path i.e. via php.ini
add the following line in php.ini set path of
include_path = ".:c:\xampp\htdocs\project_name\your_include_folder_name"
restart the apache server

How do I successfully create a project with Zend Framework and PHPUnit?

Let me just start by saying that I've posted this to multiple forums and even tried to get help on the ZF IRC channel. I've been Googling for a straight week and still no results. I've read a lot of Q's and A's on this site in the past, so I figured I'd make an account and try asking you.
(Yes, I've searched previously asked questions, but none of the answers helped me.)
I'm trying to learn how to use Zend Framework for a new project that I've joined. For compatibility reasons they are using Zend 1 (and not the newer Zend 2). I have found and followed a number of online and physical book tutorials but I've the same results over and over again.
So here goes (this are the instructions that all the tutorials give). I went to framework.zend.com and downloaded the full version of ZF 1.12.
I unzipped the contents
I moved the library folder to a safe directory where it won't be modified
I moved the contents of the bin folder to same directory as my PHP executable
I changed the include_path in my php.ini file to include the library directory
I updated my Windows PATH variable to make sure it included the path to the PHP executable
I ran
zf --help
This command worked as intended. I also successfully ran zf show version (Zend Framework Version 1.12.7).
I ran the command
zf create project myproject
Upon doing this, I receiving the following error message:
Fatal error: Class 'PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase' not found in D:\Zend\library\Zend\Test\PHPUnit\ControllerTestCase.php on line 48
That particular line in question is a class declaration that extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase. I don't know where PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase is defined. It is not in any of the files or directories that came in the single ZIP file that I downloaded from Zend. I even ran grep on all files and folders searching for the string "class PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase" but it printed no results.
Some have suggested that I don't have PHPUnit installed (which is obvious to me now). The part that bugs me is that absolutely none of the tutorials that I read mention anything about installing PHPUnit before hand or how to install it or what dependencies Zend has on it. Many of these were beginner tutorials that assumed you only had a basic knowledge of PHP, and it's pretty shocking to me that none even mentioned PHPUnit. If PHPUnit was that important I would think that the file I downloaded from Zend would have included it. I guess not.
So I went online again and got the PHAR file for PHPUnit, but now what? I tried putting it in multiple different directories but I still get the same error. Am I not supposed to use a PHAR file? Should I be using the actual files instead?
What do I have to do to get ZF to recognize PHPUnit, resolve this error and create my first ZF project?
Additional Info:
Windows 7, XAMPP Server (running on localhost), PHP 5.5.6
Assuming you have PHPUnit installed and it is on your include path (Bearing in mind that ZF1 only officially supports PHPUnit 3.4.x and definitely doesn't support anything above PHPUnit 3.5.x, so if you're using XAMPP you may have to downgrade PHPUnit as described here). The problem is most probably due to this commit, where the require calls for PHPUnit were stripped out in favour of using an autoloader. The ZF tool over CLI doesn't set up an autoloader though, so PHPUnit is not found because it is simply not required! To fix you can return these lines to the start of Zend/Test/PHPUnit/ControllerTestCase.php
/** #see PHPUnit_Runner_Version */
require_once 'PHPUnit/Runner/Version.php';
/**
* Depending on version, include the proper PHPUnit support
* #see PHPUnit_Autoload
*/
require_once (version_compare(PHPUnit_Runner_Version::id(), '3.5.0', '>=')) ? 'PHPUnit/Autoload.php' : 'PHPUnit/Framework.php';
It's worth noting that even with the error you mention, ZF tool should still work correctly when setting up a project, it just won't produce unit test actions (you'll have to make them yourself). If you don't want to downgrade your XAMPP PHPUnit version you should be able to add the correct version locally to your project using composer as described here.
Update Jan 2015:
Downgrading PHPUnit for XAMPP is no longer necessary as ZF1 has supported at least version 4.1 of PHPUnit since 1.12.7 (I've not tested above 4.1). This is helpful as PHPUnit has completely removed their deprecated Pear repository as of December 2014, which means you can't download versions older than 3.7 anymore anyway! (Currently XAMPP ships with PHPUnit 3.6). These days though it's probably worth chucking XAMPP for Vagrant and globally installing PHPUnit 4.1 via Composer during Vagrant provisioning.
I recommend using Composer to load both ZF and PHPUnit. Then make sure to include the Composer autoload.php file as your/in your phpunit boostrap file.
I had the same problem when I set up my laptop as a second development machine and downloaded the newest version of Zend Framework 1 (1.12.9). Whenever I tried to create a new action in a controller, I got the same error. Yet on my main computer, it worked fine.
I realized it was because the version of ZF1 I had in my php includes path was actually 1.11.11. So I went and got 1.11.14 from the ZF archives page, put it in the includes directory, and it worked fine.
Not entirely sure if this is the best way to make it work, since it is an older version, but at least it does work. And until someone actually comes on here and offers a better solution, that's what I intend to stick with.
You can create or edit a .zf.ini file in your home directory (~/.zf.ini or C:\Users\YOUR_ACCOUNT\.zf.ini on Windows)
php.include_path = "PATH_TO_THE_LIBRARY_FOLDERS_CONTAINING_ZEND_AND_PHPUnit"
basicloader.classes.0 = "PHPUnit_Framework_SelfDescribing"
basicloader.classes.1 = "PHPUnit_Framework_Test"
basicloader.classes.2 = "PHPUnit_Framework_Assert"
basicloader.classes.3 = "PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase"
If you are using Netbeans on Windows it could looks like this (you can put several library folder, just separate them with a semicolon ;) :
php.include_path = "C:\Users\romain\dev\ZendFramework-1.12.17\library;C:\Program Files\NetBeans 8.1\php\zend;C:\xampp\php\pear"
basicloader.classes.0 = "NetBeansCommandsProvider"
basicloader.classes.1 = "PHPUnit_Framework_SelfDescribing"
basicloader.classes.2 = "PHPUnit_Framework_Test"
basicloader.classes.3 = "PHPUnit_Framework_Assert"
basicloader.classes.4 = "PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase"
