Run test in phpunit with specific php version

macos, php, phpunit, version

Solution

$ /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.2.17/bin/php path/to/phpunit.phar

Create a script e.g. `phpunit-using-5.2`

#!/bin/sh
set -e

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.2.17/bin/php path/to/phpunit.phar "$@"

Now you can run it:

$ phpunit-using-5.2

Or you can create a bash alias too.

Problem

I have installed multiple PHP versions on my Mac and want to run unit-tests against a specific PHP version (or against multipls versions) Here's the php versions I have: ``` $ php --version Output: PHP 5.4.23 ... $ /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.2.17/bin/php --version Output: PHP 5.2.17 ... ``` My test case looks like this: ``` function test_php_version() { $actual = phpversion(); $expected = '5.2.17'; $this->assertEquals( $expected, $actual, 'Wrong PHP version!' ); } ``` When I run the test I get this response: ``` $ phpunit Wrong PHP version! Failed asserting that two strings are equal. --- Expected +++ Actual @@ @@ -'5.2.17' +'5.4.24' $ /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.2.17/bin/php phpunit Error: Could not open input file: phpunit ``` How can I run the tests with the php version 5.2.17? Update: I discover that PHPUnit does not run with php5.2.17 anymore. So I change my requirements to run unit tests with php5.3.5, which is supported.
