Windows Installing PHPUnit via PEAR - Installing PHPUnit via PEAR

Question

When I run:

peardev install phpunit/PHPUnit

I get the following:

No releases available for package \"pear.phpunit.de/PHPUni         


        

Answer 1

could not extract the package.xml file from "C:\Program Files\PHP\tmp\YAML-1.0.5
.tgz" Unable to create directory 'C:/Program/tmpFA83.tmp'
Unable to create path for C:/Program/tmpFA83.tmp/package.xml

This is a bug in pear installer. It can't deal with the SPACE in your path and tries to read the wrong files. Installing your php in a folder without a space is the only 'fix' i know about :/

Update 5:

pear install --force --alldeps pear/pear

do all channel updates it asks for

pear install --force --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit

if asked for channel updates, do those and repeat

Answer 2

if the Pear command didn't work try this:

First off I'm assuming xampp is installed to C:\xampp

1. Open a command prompt and go to C:\xampp\php
2. Type "pear update-channels" (updates channel definitions)
3. Type "pear upgrade" (upgrades all existing packages and pear)
4. Type "pear channel-discover components.ez.no" (this is needed for PHPUnit)
5. Type "pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com" (also needed by PHPUnit)
6. Type "pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de" (This IS phpunit)
7. Type "pear install --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit" (installs PHPUnit and all dependencies)

Answer 3

make sure you're running command prompt as administrator and follow this

pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
pear channel-discover components.ez.no
pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com

pear install phpunit/PHPUnit

Answer 4

You have several PEAR versions installed and are executing the wrong one. See Pear on windows displaying different version numbers for how to fix it.

Answer 5

I'm a really newbie but hope to be of any help.

I just succeeded installing PHPUnit a moment ago.

My env. is Wamp2.1.

I don't know exactly how this works but it worked for me, so try this.

pear clear-cache then,

pear install -a -f phpunit/PHPUnit

Somewhere in the failing message, I saw something about cache so I used clear-cache.

It did some trick in installing process, I guess.

Good luck!

Answer 6

From the manual page

pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
pear channel-discover components.ez.no
pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com

pear install phpunit/PHPUnit

Make sure you have the two extra channels that are required.

Edit:

Try following this advice: pear update-channels
