Installing PHPUnit on MAMP 2.1.3 (Mountain Lion)

mamp, osx-mountain-lion, phpunit

Solution

I'd recommend using composer. It's becoming a standard.

To start with, go to your project's root directory first and create a `composer.json` file there:

{
    "require-dev": {
        "phpunit/phpunit": "*"
    },
    "autoload": {
        "psr-0": {"": "src"}
    },
    "config": {
        "bin-dir": "bin"
    }
}

You can tune it to your needs later. You'll probably want to configure the autoloading if you'd like to leverage composer's autoloader (which I recomend).

Next download the composer:

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

The above script will not only download it but also verify your environment if it's suitable to run composer binary.

If everything goes well install your dependencies:

./composer.phar install --dev

PHPUnit binary will be installed in the bin directory (configured in `composer.json`):

./bin/phpunit --version

Problem

I'm struggling with this issue. Here's what I've tried : ``` $ cd /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/bin/ $ sudo ./pear channel-update pear.php.net $ sudo ./pear upgrade pear $ sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/bin/pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de $ sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/bin/pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com $ sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/bin/pear install phpunit/PHPUnit ``` So it seems to work, but phpunit is actually installed in ``` /Applications/MAMP/bin/php3/bin/ ``` If I tried to launch it from there, it doesn't work (no output, no log). If I move it to the php 5.4.10 folder, it still doesn't work. I've replaced the Mac OS php cli with MAMP's : ``` $ which php /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/bin/php ``` As suggested on some website, I've also tried to remove ``` /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/conf/pear.conf ``` But nothing seems to help. Any idea ?
