I am trying to get PHPUnit working on my cakePHP application.
I have downloaded and setup all the necessary files
In my php.ini file , I put
include_path = ".;c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12\pear\PHPUnit"
But I do not think this is correct.
When running cakePHP's app/test.php, I get 2 warnings to include PHPUnit\Autoload.php
Ok, so for whatever reason, no one here decided to hep me out on this one.. Which is a little bit frustrating.. But no matter! I'm going to provide the solution for others whom like me, are new to PHP and PHPUnit, and want to get into unit testing
Steps I followed :
Install PEAR, download from the PEAR website
If you find yourself having trouble, follow this guy's tutorial
Download PHPUnit
Put PHPUnit in local file.. (www or equivalent)
Install PHPUnit with PEAR (If integration with cake, make sure you follow these steps)
If you already installe v.4, you can downgrade using the command
pear uninstall phpunit/PHPUnit
and install PHPUnit-3.7.32
Finally visit php.ini and make sure that path included points to the pear directory
In my case include_path = ".;c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.12/pear"
Cheers and happy coding

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"
I am currently trying to install Omnipay into my Codeigniter project. I am stuck on windows because I do not have ssh access to the box where this needs to run on. So far I have gotten a new directory in the project root that is named "vendor" and it contains a lot of empty directories referring to Symfony (for what reason is beyond me).
Then I get a runtime exception that I need to enable the openssl extension in my php to download the necessary files and this is where I am stuck at. I don't run WAMP on my computer and I just use the php.exe I downloaded to work with netbeans.
Isn't there an easier way to get omnipay to run? Like just download the files from somewhere and plug them into my project like normal? It seems to be an aweful lot of headache to get a simple library to run in my CI project.
Please forgive my ignorance towards composer but I currently see no benefit of using it for this particular project.
You can "just download" the files here: https://github.com/omnipay/common/archive/master.zip
The problem is, Omnipay depends on Guzzle (an HTTP library), and Guzzle depends on some Symfony components. So you will spend the rest of the day downloading dependencies and making sure you have all the necessary files. That is the problem Composer solves for you.
I don't have any experience running Composer on Windows, but I would start here:
http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-windows
Using the Installer
This is the easiest way to get Composer set up on your machine.
Download and run Composer-Setup.exe, it will install the latest
Composer version and set up your PATH so that you can just call
composer from any directory in your command line.
Once you have Composer installed, you should simply be able to make a file named composer.json in your project root, with the following contents:
{
"require": {
"omnipay/omnipay": "~2.0"
}
}
Then use the Command Prompt and cd to your project's directory, and run composer update to download the Omnipay files and all their dependencies.
I have downloaded the file from Git
https://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication/archive/master.zip
and then unzip the file to the working directory.
i have got the error like 'Unable to load ZF2 ...'
i have downloaded the library files and pasted in vendor folder and also created the Envorinmental variable. but still the same issue.
I have come across many such issues in this forum, but no once has said about running/installing Zend OFFLINE.
Can you guys, please give an idea how to install in both windows and ubuntu
Downloading a full copy of Zend Framework 2 separately and extracting it into vendor/ZF2/library should do it. (To see if it worked see if you ended up with a file at vendor/ZF2/library/Zend/Loader/AutoloaderFactory.php.)
If not you'll need to debug a little in init_autoloader.php to see what's going on.
Doing it 'live' with Composer will make your life easier in the long run though.
I've been reading up on TDD using PHP and i'm ready to install PHPUnit, however...
I'm on Win7/64 running WampServer
I'm reading all these PEAR/PHPUnit install nightmare stories which are making me very leery.
So I'm considering using Composer to install PHPUNit (to skip the whole PEAR thing, for now).
Either way, it seems that it's best to have PHP in the PATH, which is not the case for default wampserver setup I suppose (since it's NOT already in my PATH)
I'm a bit confused about exactly which php file I should be adding to the PATH, as my directory (C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.10) has the following files:
php.exe
php-win.exe
I was planning on using number 1.
Finally, are there any other caveats that I should be aware of.
I'm using NetBeans (and SublimeText2 for front end stuff) and WampServer 2.2
Thanks!

I Solved it. I just add the directory (C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.10), not an individual file. See my comment.
I'm trying to fix a bug in a more complex PEAR package (CodeCoverage). So I'd like to have the development version that exists not within my PEAR path:
c:\Programme\PHP\PEAR\PHP
with one on another location, here exemplary:
c:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\hakre\PhpstormProjects\php-code-coverage\PHP\
Is there a common way in PEAR to temporarily switch from the installed package to just the files on another location of the disk?
I tried with placing a symbolic link, but that does not work because I need to link CodeCoverage.php as well which is not possible on Windows XP.
Is there some kind of development switch for this kind of scenario in PEAR or is it just that it's the business of each package to take care of that?
I'm using the CodeCoverage package together with PHPUnit.
I could get it to work by adding it to PHP's include path before the PEAR dir:
include_path = ".;c:\path\to\php-code-coverage;C:\programme\php\pear"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Invoking PHPUnit now uses the standard package but the development version of CodeCoverage. No symbolic linking required, editing php.ini is enough.
The "Contributing" section of the PHPUnit github project has a runner script included to make that task easier for you.
You can ether check out all the repositories from there or, if you only need one, still use the runner script:
#!/bin/bash
php -d include_path='.:../phpunit/:../dbunit/:../php-code-coverage/:../php-file-iterator/:../php-invoker/:../php-text-template/:../php-timer:../php-token-stream:../phpunit-mock-objects/:../phpunit-selenium/:../phpunit-story/:/usr/local/lib/php' ../phpunit/phpunit.php $*
(intentially not formatted as code so the whole thing is shown)
You can adapt the pathes to an absolute one by replacing .. with /path/to/your/dev/folder/ and put the script in /usr/local/bin/ and call it phpunit-dev.
Then it will automatically pick up all the existing folders and fall back to the pear path at the end for everything it can't find.
Another way to get a dev setup quickly would be to install it from composer with minimum-stability: dev and change the remote on one of the repos :)
