Eclipse PDT & PHPUnit?

Question

Is there any integration of PHPUnit with Eclipse PDT?

If not, are there any plans to do so?

Answer 1

There is defnitely integration for Eclipse PDT and PHPUnit. both PHPSRC and MakeGood work well though I am a fan of MakeGood for phpunit phpsrc comes with other goodies like CodeSniffer. I have branched a PHPUnit CodeSniffer Standard on github that validates the quality of phpunit tests which I can run with the Eclipse PHP Tools CodeSniffer plugin. This has updates for new phpunit package like setUp and tearDown.

makes sure there is assertions in tests. Something devs like to leave out when trying to meet code coverage metrics

Makes sure there is no more than 1 assertion per test. A best practice

Setting up PDT in Eclipse is not straightforward.

There's a lot of tiny details involved Here's the high level steps.

• 1 Windows update

  2 Install JRE a. http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

  3 Create a folder C:\eclipse\workspace

  4 Install eclipse pdt

  6 Install pear phpunit

It took me nearly 3 days to finally get everything right so I put together a video tutorial

Good luck!
