how do i run phpunit tests?

Question

My familiarity with phpunit is pretty lacking. How do I run those tests? I installed phpunit using the following commands (per this website):

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

I try doing phpunit MD5Test from the tests/Crypt/Hash directory and get the following:

PHP Fatal error:  Class 'Crypt_Hash_TestCase' not found in /root/phpseclib/trunk/tests/Crypt/Hash/MD5Test.php on line 9

That's not too surprising since Crypt_Hash_TestCase isn't included anywhere. There's a bootstrap.php file but I don't know how to use that either.

So your proposal is that I spend days and days reading the manual, learning all about how to write unit tests and utilize such obscure functions as assertContainsOnly() when all I want to do is run a unit test? Gee... thanks. — neubert

Why not? I did, so did many others. You are allowed to read some of the manual, the bits about actually running unit tests may be useful. — vascowhite

Ok... phpunit.de/manual/3.7/en/textui.html That's the only example I found of running phpunit. I assume *.php is appended to ArrayTest but if so then what do the contents of ArrayTest.php look like? — neubert

Run phpunit from this directory: https://github.com/phpseclib/phpseclib The clue is that that is where the the phpunit.xml.dist file is found.

To run all tests you start it with simply:

phpunit

If you just want to run the MD5Test tests then (still from that same root directory):

phpunit tests/Crypt/Hash/MD5Test.php
