Question

How to install phpunit?

I read documentation https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit, but have an error:

>pear upgrade PEAR
Nothing to upgrad         


        

Answer 1

As said by @Wilt Installation via pear doesn't works any longer. Follow below steps instead

Step I: Create a directory named bin in C drive.

Step II: Now add the path C:\bin to your environment.

• To do this click on Windows icon and right click on Computer and then select Properties.
• Then click on Advanced system settings -> Advanced -> Environment Variables.
• In the System variables section scroll down and select the line where the Variable column value is Path. Click on Edit.
• Now add (append at the end) ;C:\bin at the end.

Step III: Download phpunit phar file to C:\bin folder.

• If you are PHP 7 then download the phar file from https:// phar.phpunit.de/phpunit-6.2.phar. Else if you are using PHP 5.6 then download the phar file from https:// phar.phpunit.de/phpunit-5.7.phar.
• Once downloaded rename the file to phpunit.phar and move it to C:\bin folder.

Step IV: Create a batch script phpunit.cmd

• Open command prompt. Type cd C:\bin and hit enter.

• Then type echo @php "%~dp0phpunit.phar" %* > phpunit.cmd and hit enter.

To verify PHPUnit has been installed type phpunit --version in command prompt. You should get something like PHPUnit x.y.z by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.
