Installing PHPUnit via PEAR

Question

I have problems installing PHPUnit 3.4.6 via PEAR 1.9.0. After I discover channel pear.phpunit.de and try to use one of fo

Answer 1

It simply installs me when I type:

pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
pear install --onlyreqdeps phpunit/PHPUnit

Maybe there is a problem with the versions, you may set the preferred_state of the pear packages to different than stable:

pear config-set preferred_state beta

Answer 2

I had an issue with not having a required dependency YAML, so got a warning each time.

Try pear channel-discover pear.symfony.com pear install pear.symfony.com/Yaml

then run the download again

pear install --alldeps pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit

Answer 3

You need to also discover the ezcomponents channel using pear channel-discover components.ez.no

In total:

sudo pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
sudo pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com
sudo pear channel-discover components.ez.no
sudo pear install --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit

You can have a quick sanity check is to run phpunit from the CLI and see if the command is recognized.

UPDATE

Seems they've moved symfony, I just did a fresh install today, here's the new channel

sudo pear channel-discover pear.symfony.com

Please follow these steps:

1. pear config-set auto_discover 1

2. pear install pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit -> here I got: installation failed.

3. Try: pear clear-cache -> executed successfully

4. pear update-channels -> executed successfully

5. pear install pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit -> successfully executed.

Answer 6

I had struggled for ages with getting ZEND etc to work on XAMPP on Windows Vista. For reference, this is how I solved it: -

Couldn't update PEAR then I realised it's default path setting were wrong, I correct this guide...

Then I managed to get PHPUNIT installed with the pear clear_cache command thanks to this thread then ran "pear install phpunit/PHPunit".

I hope what I wrote above will serve as a quick code for those in a similar predicament (it took me 2 whole days to get it working!!!)
