PHPUnit gives "Call to undefined method PHP_CodeCoverage_Filter::getInstance()"

Question

I'm using Windows 7.

I've used PHPUnit fine on this system in the past.

On starting a new project, I'm getting the error above on my first attempt to run a test.

I've cleared cache on pear, totally uninstalled and "--force --alldeps" reinstalled PHPUnit and all dependencies - including PHP_CodeCoverage.

Short of rewriting pear from scratch - anyone got any ideas how I can fix this?

[edit] Below is the output of the "pear config-show" and "pear info phpunit/PHPUnit" commands

Delete /usr/bin/phpunit and reinstall. Make sure it gets created anew and doesn't mention PHP_CodeCoverage_Filter at all. — David Harkness

Thanks David. Unfortunately, Windows doesn't have /usr/bin at all. I've uninstalled and reinstalled already - twice. — Hippyjim

D'oh! I missed the first line about Windows 7. My guess is that you have an old installation on the system or user PATH. You need to find the phpunit.bat that gets run when you type phpunit on the command line and delete it. — David Harkness
– David Harkness, Commented Mar 18, 2012 at 21:58
What do the following commands show? pear config-show and pear info phpunit/PHPUnit — David Harkness
– David Harkness, Commented Mar 18, 2012 at 22:00
Thanks David - I've added the output of those commands to the question - does that give you any clues? I can't see any mention of selenium in there at all — Hippyjim

In the end, I visited http://pear.phpunit.de/ and downloaded the latest PHP_CodeCoverage and PHPUnit_Selenium tar.gz files, uncompressed them, and copied all the files inside into matching folder locations within my PHPUnit install directory.

That seems to have done the trick!
