phpunit require_once() error

Question

I recently installed phpunit on my server via the pear installer.

When I go to run a test I get the following error:

PHP Warning: require_once(PHPUnit/Util/Filter.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/bin/phpunit on line 44

PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'PHPUnit/Util/Filter.php' (include_path='.:/usr/bin/php') in /usr/bin/phpunit on line 44

After doing some searching, I tried making some modifications to the include_path in my php.ini file on the server. But that hasn't done a thing.

Any idea what might be causing this?

UPDATE: As of 2013 November and Ubuntu 12.04 these 2 commands should suffice:

sudo pear config-set auto_discover 1
sudo pear install pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit

The following is an older answer. It's a known problem , although almost a year and a half had passed. Read about it here

The code coverage must be installed in order for phpunit to work properly

What you need to do is covered here:

code coverage installation through PEAR

Basically you have to type (with sudo if you don't have permissions, taken that phpunit is already installed):

pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
pear channel-discover components.ez.no
pear install phpunit/PHP_CodeCoverage

i'm getting

ERROR: Unknown Role class: "PEAR_Installer_Role_Pear_Installer_role_php" ERROR: Unknown Role class: "PEAR_Installer_Role_Pear_Installer_role_data"

error on last step.

The correct solution for me was in the first link you gave: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/phpunit/+bug/701544/comments/…

I had to set the include_path in both php.ini files, /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini, /etc/php5/cli/php.ini, and had to make it include parent and subdirectories: include_path = ".:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/php/PEAR"

On Ubuntu 12.04, I had to also enter sudo pear channel-discover pear.symfony.com and then succeeded with sudo pear install --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit

Take note!

You have installed PHPUnit via PEAR. This installation method is no longer supported and http://pear.phpunit.de/ will be shut down no later than December, 31 2014.

...which will invalidate this answer.

I had this problem on OS X. Fixed it with the following commands which force all the php dependencies to be reinstalled, which included a couple of packages from other channels that were not already configured:

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

This is the only solution that worked for me in Ubuntu 11.10.

Nvm. It installed fine, but when I try to run any actual tests I get

PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined method PHP_CodeCoverage_Filter::getInstance() in /usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Framework.php on line 46

Ryan Over a year ago

For me, I did this and then got an error that I think is resolved by stackoverflow.com/a/9186866/470749 Ubuntu 12.04

Didn't work for me -- I need to channel-discover pear.phpunit.de to be able to install phpunit/phpunit, and then I get the require_once(PHPUnit/Util/Filter.php) error... the file is nowhere on my filessystem.

If it is the first time you are using PEAR, perhaps you have not configured the include path right. Take a look at the appropriate section in the PEAR manual.

(include_path='.:/usr/bin/php')

Are you sure you added it to the include_path?

It might also help if we saw your ini file, and the include_path snippet in it...

Yeah, I've tried that path and several others. The comments here are limited to 600 characters so I'm not sure how I would show you my ini file. include_path = " .:/usr/bin/php"

Alister Bulman Over a year ago

/usr/bin is where executables live, not libraries.

I found it!

Looks like PEAR installed PHPUnit in /usr/share/pear. Not sure why but that's where it is. Must be a (mt) thing.

Anyway, I'm all set. Thanks for the help.

This is also what happens if you have an out-of-date or incomplete PHPUnit install. Please be aware that after you set up PEAR, you must add the PHPUnit.de channel in order to get an up-to-date package.

In my case, I solved it by adding /usr/share/php/PEAR to the include_path.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.2.

If you have problems with accessing components try another way.

Install pear
```
sudo apt-get install php-pear
```

Install phpunit by using pear.

pear config-set auto_discover 1
pear install pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit

Install phpunit/Selenium, but first you need to install curl module

sudo apt-get install php5-curl 
pear install phpunit/PHPUnit_Selenium

I was having the same problem. Netbeans was reporting that the phpunit version was too old (which it wasn't). Running the phpunit script directly showed the above messages.

I solved it adding:

include_path=".:/usr/share/php"

To /etc/php5/cli/php.ini

Please NOTE that the php.ini file is the one for php CLI (command) not the php.ini used for apache!

My original problem was I could not get the command line version of php (yum install php or yum install php-cli) to upgrade to => php5.2.7 I was stuck on 5.1 version

I had already compiled php 5.3.3 for use with apache. So I setup a symbolic link from /usr/bin/php (the command line default) to my compiled version in /var/php5/bin/php to get the command line php reporting 5.3.3

Then I refollowed the pear install steps for phpunit

But it still needed the code coverage stuff when I ran phpunit.

So I hunted code coverage down under /var/php5/lib/php/PHP/CodeCoverage and added that to the include path in php.ini include_path=".:/var/php5/lib/php/"

Make sure to add it to the include path without /PHP because phpunit starts at PHP/ (notice caps) looking for Code Coverage Failed opening required 'PHP/CodeCoverage/Filter.php'

I had this problem . I was developing a zend framework site. Finally I manage to solve it by removing the zend installation and removing/commenting the include path in bath php.ini files in apache and cli. To develop site with zend we don't need to have zend installed. Insted we can copy the library to our site folder

You can solve this issue by redefining the environment variables in PEAR. This is how I solved the problem and I used Ubuntu 12.10

http://rkrants.blogspot.in/2013/01/installing-phpunitpear-in-ubuntu-1210.html

In short it defines the paths and then reinstalls phpunit

I had the same issue with Windows 8 Similar to the top answer, I needed to start the command line, however make sure to run cmd.exe as administrator. Then the two commands

pear config-set auto_discover 1
pear install pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit
