Chapter 4, Page 55, phpunit command

When I run:

phpunit unit/DbTest.php

I get this error:


'phpunit' is not recognized as an internal or external command, 

operable program or batch file.

Like the book states, I am located at: /WebRoot/trackstar/protected/tests

And I’ve created the DbTest.php file with this code:


<?php

class DbTest extends CTestCase

{

public function testConnection()

{

$this->assertTrue(true);

}

}

The only file in this directory resembling the ‘phpunit’ command is a phphunit.xml. What executable is this supposed to call?

Looks like I need phpunit installed, but to do that I need Pear installed, but am failing at that:


C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-5.3.3\php>go-pear.bat

phar "C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-5.3.3\php\PEAR\go-pear.phar" does not have a signature

Warning: require_once(phar://go-pear.phar/index.php): failed to open stream: phar error: invalid url or non-existent phar "phar://go-pear.phar/index.php" in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-5.3.3\php\PEAR\go-pear.phar on line 1236

hello toolman,

in order to run your testcase u need phpunit installed - covered somewhere in chapter 3 of the book.

check http://www.phpunit.de/manual/current/en/installation.html for further infos.

using the recommended pear installer (pear.php.net) u would succeed with entering the following into your console:

pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de

pear channel-discover components.ez.no

pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com

pear install phpunit/PHPUnit

if u already installed phpunit try upgrading it since there was a related bug prior to version 3.4.

pear channel-update

pear install phpunit/PHPunit

… would do the trick.

if u cant resolve your issue report back and post the operating system your using

bye

Thanks beatmox, but I’m still a couple steps in the hole yet, trying to debug why Pear won’t install.

I tried this, but it just echoed back the contents of the bat file.


C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-5.3.3\php>php go-pear.bat

@ECHO OFF

set PHP_BIN=php.exe

%PHP_BIN% -d output_buffering=0 PEAR\go-pear.phar

pause

PS. I’m on Windows 7.

I’m trying to read this but it’s not helping:

http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.getting.php

6

hey,

open your php.ini and locate the phar.require_hash entry. make sure its set to

phar.require_hash = Off and dont forget and remove the semicolon to uncomment the line.

run ur go-pear.bat again

:wink:

More hacks, awesome!

All right, I installed pear, it seems.

So this is what I got when trying to install phpunit.

But the console still doesn’t recognize the phpunit command.

we are headin the right way it seems xD

but installing phpunit didnt succeed as your console output suggests:

u need to update your pear installation: hit ur console with pear install PEAR-1.9.1 and run pear install phpunit/PHPunit again

9

No go,

and of course they won’t tell you what the PHP_PEAR_PHP_BIN variable should be set to.





C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-5.3.3\www\trackstar\protected\tests>pear channel-update

PHP_PEAR_PHP_BIN is not set correctly.

Please fix it using your environment variable or modify

the default value in pear.bat

The current value is:

.\php.exe
10

Find where is located php.exe and set PHP_PEAR_PHP_BIN to it.

for example if php.exe is in c:\php5\bin\php.exe

set PHP_PEAR_PHP_BIN=c:\php5\bin\php.exe

Ok, that worked, I’m able to trudge ahead another page in the book.

But I’m still stuck in Chapter 4.

I ran the command:

phpunit unit/DbTest.php

and it passed with the line: "$this->assertTrue(true);"

but after changing the line to: " $this->assertNotEquals(NULL, Yii::app()->db);"

I can’t get the test to pass.

And my DB credentials are absolutely correct. (I’ve renamed them for posting here as (A,B,C,D)


<?php

class DbTest extends CTestCase

{

    public function testConnection()

    {

       // $this->assertTrue(true);

       $this->assertNotEquals(NULL, Yii::app()->db);

    }

}



       /*

		'db'=>array(

			'connectionString' => 'sqlite:'.dirname(__FILE__).'/../data/testdrive.db',

		),

        */

        

        




'db'=>array(

'connectionString' => 'mysql:host=A;dbname=B',

'emulatePrepare' => true,

'username' => 'C',

'password' => 'D',

'charset' => 'utf8',

),

I’ve tried to connect to a local dev mysql server.

I can connect fine to the db server using the Sqlyog db administration tool.

I can connect fine with phpMyAdmin at http://127.0.0.1/home/mysql/

I created the database and a table fine.

I’ve also tried using host=localhost and no go.

hey toolman,

i assume that you are overwriting the db application component with insufficient parameters. this will hopefully solve your issue:

unit tests deploy the bootstrap.php located in webroot\trackstar\protected\tests\.




webroot/trackstar/protected/tests/bootstrap.php

<?php


// change the following paths if necessary

$yiit=dirname(__FILE__).'/../../../framework/yiit.php';

$config=dirname(__FILE__).'/../config/test.php';           //<- DIFFERENT CONFIG


require_once($yiit);

require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/WebTestCase.php');


Yii::createWebApplication($config);

you notice that not the usual ‘/../config/main.php’ config is specified but test.php.

test.php holds specific configurations (for example a different db application component) for the unittesting, and


CMap::mergeArray()

will merge this with ‘/../config/main.php’, overwriting or adding new parameters.

long story short -> have a look @ your ‘/../config/test.php’:




webroot/trackstar/protected/config/test.php

<?php


return CMap::mergeArray(

    require(dirname(__FILE__) . '/main.php'),

    array(

        'components' => array(

            'fixture' => array(

                'class' => 'system.test.CDbFixtureManager',

            ),


/*            'db' => array(

                'connectionString' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=trackstar_test',

                'emulatePrepare' => true,

                'username' => 'root',

                'password' => 'yourpasswordhere',

                'charset'  => 'utf8'

            ),*/

        ),

    )

);

and make sure you comment the db component or supply it with valid information for your database.

let us know ;)

p.s.:chapter 5 "Specifying a test database" covers the motivations why specifying a different db for the testing framework comes in handy.

Thanks for trying to help

My default test.php looks like this:




<?php


return CMap::mergeArray(

	require(dirname(__FILE__).'/main.php'),

	array(

		'components'=>array(

			'fixture'=>array(

				'class'=>'system.test.CDbFixtureManager',

			),

			/* uncomment the following to provide test database connection

			'db'=>array(

				'connectionString'=>'DSN for test database',

			),

			*/

		),

	)

);

I changed it to this, but it didn’t help:





<?php


return CMap::mergeArray(

	require(dirname(__FILE__).'/main.php'),

	array(

		'components'=>array(

			'fixture'=>array(

				'class'=>'system.test.CDbFixtureManager',

			),

            

            

            

            

'db'=>array(

'connectionString' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=trackstar_dev;port=3306',

'emulatePrepare' => true,

'username' => 'root',

'password' => '',

'charset' => 'utf8',

),

                                                                        

			/* uncomment the following to provide test database connection

			'db'=>array(

				'connectionString'=>'DSN for test database',

			),

			*/

		),

	)

);

I get the same error:

If it’s reading the configuration… than it must be something with the data you are providing…

check and double check the database name, the port…

could be that login without password is prevented… try to set a password…

if nothing else is working… try to make a PHP script that access the database the old way (mysql_connect()) to see if you get any error that could tell you what is wrong…

guys im having the same issue. CDbConnection failed to open db connection.

im using XAMPP on mac lion

  • created the trackstar_dev database using phpmyadmin()

  • i already configure my /protected/config/main.php

  • i can connect to mysql using just php mysql_connect() to check if mysql is working properly

is there something i missed?
