Hello,
I run phpunit from my ‘tests’ directory: phpunit unit
…and get the following error:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘CException’ with message ‘Application base path “protected” is not a valid directory.’ in /home/user/phpdev/yii/framework/base/CApplication.php:240
This error happens with other commands like: phpunit unit/MyTest.php, phpunit --bootstrap bootstrap.php unit
Configuration:
php 5.3.5
phpunit 3.5.5
What’s wrong ? Thank you,
Fabrice
I think you have a wrong path and/or a permission problem somewhere in your application configuration/environment.
Try to create a fresh yii skeleton app (test if the app is working in browser) and then write a simple test and check if it works.
Thank you for your suggestion. I didn’t experience the error with a freshly yii skeleton app.
The error was actually caused by the yii-environment extension (http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/yii-environment). Install the protected/tests/bootstrap.php file provided with this extension and the problem is solved !
Yeah ! Fabrice
