phpunit running exception when run a very very simple unit test

Question

I get phpunit and install it as this link using the simplest way for test purposes. I just download the phpunit.phar file, chmod & rename & move to /usr/local/bin Then, I run phpunit --version, its ok.

I write a simple php test case.

class SimpleTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase {
    public function testSomething(){
       $this -> assertTrue(true);
    }
}

In terminal , I go to my php class folder, and execute
```
phpunit --colors SimpleTest
```

Now I got the exceptions

PHP ReflectionException:  Method suite does not exist 
in phar:///usr/local/bin/phpunit/phpunit/Runner/BaseTestRunner.php on line 113

PHP Stack trace:
PHP   1. {main}() /usr/local/bin/phpunit:0

PHP   2. PHPUnit_TextUI_Command::main($exit = *uninitialized*)
         /usr/local/bin/phpunit:612

PHP   3. PHPUnit_TextUI_Command->run($argv = array (
         0 =>  '/usr/local/bin/phpunit', 
         1 => '--colors', 
         2 => 'SimpleTest.php'), 
         $exit = TRUE) 
        phar:///usr/local/bin/phpunit/phpunit/TextUI/Command.php:129


PHP   4. PHPUnit_Runner_BaseTestRunner->getTest(
       $suiteClassName = 'SimpleTest',   
       $suiteClassFile = '/home/kevin/Workspace/php/laravel/app/tests/SimpleTest.php',   
       $suffixes = array (0 => 'Test.php', 1 => '.phpt')) 
       phar:///usr/local/bin/phpunit/phpunit/TextUI/Command.php:150

PHP   5. ReflectionClass->getMethod('suite')    
phar:///usr/local/bin/phpunit/phpunit/Runner/BaseTestRunner.php:113

PHPUnit 3.7.27 by Sebastian Bergmann.

Anything is welcome, thanks .

A little suggestion; run it without colors - just to be sure. And: extend on the class TestCase. — Rob Gordijn

It looks like this error comes from an xdebug setting.

The solution appears to be adding this line to your php.ini file (or changing your the existing value to 0):

xdebug.show_exception_trace = 0

Take a look at PHPUnit ReflectionException Method suite does not exist and Why does PHPUnit hide my xdebug backtrace? for more info.
