I get the following error when I try to run phpunit . from within my project's tests folder:

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

I installed PHPUnit via these commands:

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

As none of the other methods seem to work, including apt-get.

I think CodeCoverage changed their singleton pattern at some point in time and hence removed getInstance but I don't know how to fix this error. How can I either downgrade CodeCoverage or upgrade PHPUnit?

I tried manually installing the latest versions of everything via the following commands:

sudo apt-get install git
mkdir phpunit && cd phpunit
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit.git
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/dbunit.git
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/php-file-iterator.git
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/php-text-template.git
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/php-code-coverage.git
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/php-token-stream.git
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/php-timer.git
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit-mock-objects.git
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit-selenium.git
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit-story.git
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/php-invoker.git
sudo cp -r dbunit/PHPUnit /usr/share/php/
sudo cp -r php-code-coverage/PHP /usr/share/php/
sudo cp -r php-file-iterator/File /usr/share/php/
sudo cp -r php-invoker/PHP /usr/share/php/
sudo cp -r php-text-template/Text /usr/share/php/
sudo cp -r php-timer/PHP /usr/share/php/
sudo cp -r php-token-stream/PHP /usr/share/php/
sudo cp -r phpunit/PHPUnit /usr/share/php/
sudo cp -r phpunit-mock-objects/PHPUnit /usr/share/php/
sudo cp -r phpunit-selenium/PHPUnit /usr/share/php/
sudo cp -r phpunit-story/PHPUnit /usr/share/php/
sudo cp -r phpunit/phpunit.php /usr/share/php/

But that didn't help any. Now I just have a bunch of junk all over the place :\

  • Going on record as an opponent of PEAR, and the way PHPUnit is released in it's current state. Commented Jan 24, 2012 at 18:58
  • @MikePurcell: Well we don't have many alternatives for unit testing do we? That are easy to install and relatively easy to use? This project only has 2 unit tests so far...so we can still make the switch! Commented Jan 24, 2012 at 19:37

you can try this, I have done it on my Ubuntu 12.04

  1. sudo pear uninstall phpunit/PHPUnit
  2. sudo pear uninstall pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit_MockObject
  3. sudo pear install pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit_MockObject
  4. sudo pear install --alldeps pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit

I have tried many other methods. This works when I get the error blow.

hegaofeng@ubuntu:~$ phpunit PHP Warning: require_once(PHPUnit/Framework/MockObject/Autoload.php): failed to open >?>stream: No such file or directory in /usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Autoload.php on line 48 PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required >'PHPUnit/Framework/MockObject/Autoload.php' >(include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Autoload.php on >line 48 hegaofeng@ubuntu:~$ cd /usr/share/php/

I've had issues when not using the actual pear.phpunit.de channel to install PHPUnit, especially when trying to use a package manager like apt-get or yum. Try removing all the manually installed stuff you pulled from the git repository and do a pear uninstall of PHPUnit and its optional dependencies. Then:

  • sudo pear upgrade PEAR
  • sudo pear config-set auto_discover 1
  • sudo pear install --alldeps pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit

This has worked for me ... hope it helps.

UPDATE

It probably goes without saying, but you should also purge your previous apt-get attempts as well before following the steps above:

  • sudo apt-get purge php5-pear

Well that code me a different error: PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'PHPUnit/Framework/MockObject/Autoload.php'
"MockObject" directory doesn't exist. Funny. You'd think "alldeps" would install all the deps. Apparently not. How do I get MockObjects back?
Almost forgot -- I had the same problem. I believe the correct command is: pear install phpunit/PHPUnit_MockObject. lemme know if that isn't correct. OOPS I think that should be pear install pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit_MockObject
pear install phpunit/PHPUnit_MockObject fails with "already installed" message...but the folder isn't there..hrm. Ok... uninstalled and reinstalled again, mocked objects intalled now, but now I get Failed opening required 'PHPUnit/Framework.php' instead. There's a Framework folder, but no Framework.php

mkdir phpunit && cd phpunit
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit.git
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/dbunit.git
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/php-file-iterator.git
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/php-text-template.git
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/php-code-coverage.git
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/php-token-stream.git
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/php-timer.git
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit-mock-objects.git
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit-selenium.git
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit-story.git
git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/php-invoker.git
cd phpunit && git checkout 3.6 && cd ..
cd dbunit && git checkout 1.1 && cd ..
cd php-code-coverage && git checkout 1.1 && cd ..
cd phpunit-mock-objects && git checkout 1.1 && cd ..
cd phpunit-selenium && git checkout 1.1 && cd ..
sudo mv ./* /usr/share/php/
ln -s /usr/share/php/phpunit/phpunit.php ~/bin/phpunit
gksudo gedit /etc/php5/cli/php.ini

Add the following to your include_path:

/usr/share/php/dbunit:/usr/share/php/php-code-coverage:/usr/share/php/php-file-iterator:/usr/share/php/php-text-template:/usr/share/php/php-timer:/usr/share/php/php-token-stream:/usr/share/php/phpunit:/usr/share/php/phpunit-mock-objects:/usr/share/php/phpunit-selenium:/usr/share/php/phpunit-story:/usr/share/php/php-invoker

Open /usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Framework.php and you will see this:

trigger_error(
    'Please no longer include "PHPUnit/Framework.php".', E_USER_NOTICE
);

That's all! Please no longer include "PHPUnit/Framework.php"!!!

Before installing PHPUnit on your system, clear pear's cache

pear clear-cache

From what i have seen, maybe you haven't integrated PHPUnit with your project. You don't need to only install PHPUnit using PEAR, i believe the files you need are not in the project.
