I ran into the same issue and found the following solution in the documentation: http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/testing.html#your-first-functional-test

To run your functional tests, the WebTestCase class bootstraps the kernel of your application. In most cases, this happens automatically. However, if your kernel is in a non-standard directory, you'll need to modify your phpunit.xml.dist file to set the KERNEL_DIR environment variable to the directory of your kernel:

So check your phpunit.xml.dist configuration file and try to add the absolute path to your app-directory.

Hope it helps.
