Why, Fatal error: Class 'PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase' not found in …?

Question

Why I\'m getting this PHP error?

Fatal error: Class \'PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase\' not found in ...

Answer 1

You may get this error because you namespaced the file. If so you will need to specify that PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase is in the global namespace by preceding it with a backslash:

namespace AcmeInc\MyApplication\Tests
class StackTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase {}

I submitted a crude PR to start conversation for correcting the documentation.
