Eclipse PDT & PHPUnit?

Question

Is there any integration of PHPUnit with Eclipse PDT?

If not, are there any plans to do so?

Answer 1

It is possible to integrate PHPUnit with PDT in a simple way (these settings aren't fully generic but should be a good starting point).

1. Select the Run > External Tools > External tools configurations
2. Create a new program
3. Set the Location to point to your executable (/usr/bin/phpunit on linux)
4. Set the Working Directory to use the variable ${workspace_loc}
5. Set the Arguments to ${resource_path}

Now select Run > External Tools > PHPUnit to execute the selected test file. This simply executes phpunit and sends STDOUT to the Eclipse terminal. Simple but effective.

Subsequently, you can use the icon with a green arrow and red toolbox to run PHPUnit without having to navigate the menus.
