PHPUnit: Failed opening required `PHPUnit_Extensions_Story_TestCase.php` - php

Question

I installed PHPUnit with:
wget https://phar.phpunit.de/phpunit.phar
chmod +x phpunit.phar
mv phpunit.phar /usr/local/bin/phpunit
Trying to run a simple test, but getting:
Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'PHPUnit_Extensions_Story_TestCase.php'
How do I install PHPUnit_Extensions_Story_TestCase?
The test is simply:
class TestFunctions extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase {
public function test_str() {
$this->assertEquals('foo', 'bar');
}
}

Answer 1

Unfortunately none of the suggested fixes worked for me. The typical response is to install the phpunit/PHPUnit_Story module. While that will put you in the right direction, it did not solve my problem.
I registered an autoload function in my boostrap.php file. This most likely replaced the autoload function, registered by PHPUnit, used to autoload PHPUnit's classes. I commented my autoload function implementation and the issue went away.
EDIT
In response to #user3265472; It's been a while since I've worked on this, but I want to say that the "fix" was to set the include paths at the beginning of the bootstrap.php file and then manually loading the classes as you would normally:
/**
* Configure include paths used by the unit tests.
*
* #return void
*/
function configure_include_paths()
{
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . dirname(__FILE__) . "/mylib");
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . dirname(__FILE__) . "/mylib2");
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . "/lib");
}
configure_include_paths();
This allowed me to do something like the following at the beginning of every file:
require_once("MyClass.php");
instead of having to determine where the class was in relation to the current class file.
I also want to say that no matter what I did I couldn't get class auto-loading to work as I would have liked. I hope this helps.

You need to install phpunit/PHPUnit_Story package:
sudo pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
sudo pear install phpunit/PHPUnit_Story
Or manually from github repository.

Answer 3

Like Bakyt Abdrasulov mentioned, this seems an autoloader issue.
See his comment:
"I fixed it by using #include_once instead of require_once in my autoload function."

If you install phpunit with composer these errors will not come
step 1:
Create a composer.json file in your project root:
{
"require-dev": {
"phpunit/phpunit": "4.6.*",
"phpunit/phpunit-selenium": ">=1.4",
"phpunit/dbunit": ">=1.3",
"phpunit/phpunit-story": "*",
"phpunit/php-invoker": "*"
},
"autoload": {
"psr-0": {"": "src"}
},
"config": {
"bin-dir": "bin/"
}
}
step 2:
Install composer into your project using:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Ensure composer is executable:
chmod +x composer.phar
Let composer install the dependencies:
./composer.phar install --dev
Check you have a project specific phpunit version installed:
bin/phpunit --version
the above specified is a softlink
ls -la bin/phpunit
bin/phpunit -> ../vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit
Afterwords you can make softlink of 'phpunit' from vendor directory into directory of php in use.
This will remove all warnings related to
PHP Warning: include(classes/PHPUnit_Extensions_Story_TestCase.php)
PHP Warning: include(): Failed opening 'classes/PHPUnit_Extensions_Story_TestCase.php'
PHP Warning: include(classes/Composer\Autoload\ClassLoader.php)
