Answer 1

it works for me. at the beginning, I didn't use --force for the last command, I got a fatal error that "Call to undefined method PHP_CodeCoverage_Filter::getInstance". Then I used --force, which resolved this issue.

Answer 2

While i had the same problem and managed to solve it using setting correct environment variables.

You can get to the solve here http://rkrants.blogspot.in/2013/01/installing-phpunitpear-in-ubuntu-1210.html

In short I had to re-install PHPUnit using pear after setting the variables correct.

I used a Ubuntu 12.10 installation and it works perfectly now.

Answer 3

The executable script that loads PHPUnit must not have been updated when going to 3.6.x. Reinstall it.

sudo pear uninstall phpunit/PHPUnit
sudo pear install phpunit/PHPUnit

If this doesn't work, make sure PEAR itself is up-to-date.

Answer 4

Ubuntu 11.10 has had an issue for a while that hasn't been fixed. This is the only thing that will get phpunit to work with pear. (Outside of using pear you can look up a way to do it without pear. There is an article online about that but I wouldn't want that kind of burden to do it manually). This is the only thing that worked for me:

sudo apt-get remove phpunit

sudo pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de

sudo pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com

sudo pear channel-discover components.ez.no

sudo pear update-channels

sudo pear upgrade-all

sudo pear install --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit

sudo pear install --force --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit

Answer 5

For some, Anthony's solution will not work fully because of the Unknown remote channel: pear.symfony.com or phpunit/PHPUnit requires package "channel://pear.symfony.com/Yaml".

SO here is the upgraded solution that solves this:

sudo apt-get remove phpunit

sudo pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de

sudo pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com

sudo pear channel-discover components.ez.no

sudo pear channel-discover pear.symfony.com

sudo pear update-channels

sudo pear upgrade-all

sudo pear install pear.symfony.com/Yaml

sudo pear install --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit

sudo pear install --force --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit

Answer 6

I came across the same problem, managed to solve it using composer

Try these steps -

First uninstall phpunit

sudo apt-get remove phpunit

Install composer - http://getcomposer.org/doc/01-basic-usage.md#installation

$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Install phpunit - http://phpunit.de/manual/3.7/en/installation.html

For a system-wide installation via Composer, you can run:

$ composer global require 'phpunit/phpunit=3.7.*'

You will also have to make sure that you have ~/.composer/vendor/bin/ in your path.
