I'm trying to execute some databasetests with php unit but I keep getting the following errors: following errors:

My composer.json look like this:

{
    "require": {
    "phpunit/phpunit": "4.8",
    "phpunit/dbunit": "^2.0"
}

This is the page I'm trying to perform the test on:

<?php 
require_once 'autoload.php';

class testDatabase extends \PHPUnit_Extensions_Database_TestCase {


public function getConnection() {
    $db = new PDO(
        "mysql:host=localhost;dbname=mrf", 
        "", "");
    return $this->createDefaultDBConnection($db, "bulletproof");
}

}
?>

I use the sql autoloader to load the main php classes and that looks like the following:

<?php 
spl_autoload_register(function($class) {
    require_once '../classes/' . $class . '.php';
});
?>

In my opinion, the strange thing is that the regular phpunit tests do run, but the dbUnit test do not. I tried several upgrades of composer, phpUnit and dbUnit downloaded from packagist but without succes.

Would be great if you could help me out, Thanks in advance.

When you run composer install, composer generates file PROJECT_ROOT/vendor/autoload.php. That file contains all stuff needed for autoloading your project dependencies, so based on what I see on the screenshot, you need to require_once it as well as your own.

As a side note: phpunit has an option --bootstrap=filename, which is executed before all tests run. You can run 

phpunit --bootstrap=PROJECT_ROOT/vendor/autoload.php databaseTest.php

After that you can create something like phpunit_bootstrap.php, put your require_once 'autoload.php'; here and composers vendor/autoload.php so you can run tests like 

phpunit --bootstrap=path/to/your/phpunit_bootstrap.php AnythingYouWantToTest.php

without need to insert require_once 'autoload.php'; in every test file.

  • Hi there, Thanks for your answer. When I do like you say and require the `vendor/autoload.php` I get the following Error: `Argument #3 of of phpunit_textUI_resultprinter::construct--() must be a value from "never", "auto" or "always"` I searched this error and moved phpunit from `require-dev` to `dev`. Unfortunately no result. I run phpunit 5.3.2 right now. You have any idea's? Thanks! – Frank W. May 12 '16 at 06:02
  • Do you run `vendor/bin/phpunit` or your system-wide installed version? Unfortunately no ideas from the first view except guesses. Maybe it deserves another question on this site – Nikita U. May 12 '16 at 06:30
  • yes it is. Hmm to bad... I really liked the idea of testdriven development but untill not it has been a pain to get it to work :P Thanks for your help and I will open another question. – Frank W. May 12 '16 at 06:32
