Cannot find PHPUnit in include path phpstorm
Just encountered this problem myself.
I'm unsure why it is unable to find PHPUnit in the include path (despite the fact that it is there, albeit in all lowercase).
I got around this by changing my IntelliJ Preferences for PHPUnit (under PHP --> PHPUnit
). I changed the PHPUnit library
settings to Use custom loader
and then specified the path to the phpunit
executable. On my mac, that was /usr/local/Cellar/php54/5.4.26/bin/phpunit
.
UPDATE:
I just discovered that pear
now installs PHPUnit as a phar
named phpunit
. It previously installed the PHPUnit source, which was really nice for reference and code completion in PHPStorm. I think that this is the reason things aren't working any longer with PHPStorm, because it's expecting a php executable and not a php archive.
So, I'm moving away from using pear
to install PHPUnit, and I'm using composer instead. This bundles PHPUnit directly as a dependency of my project, which makes it more portable than a system dependency. You'll need to add vendor/phpunit/phpunit
as a PHP include path in your PHPStorm preferences. This will serve two purposes:
- PHPStorm can find the
phpunit
executable now - PHPStorm will index all the
PHPUnit
classes now, so you'll get auto-complete. Yay!
To do this, go to Languages and Frameworks in the PhpStorm settings. If you click on PHP, on the right you have your include paths
I had this problem after adding PHPUnit via composer.
I fixed this by choosing use custom autoloader
in Settings -> Languages and Frameworks -> PHP -> PHPUnit
, then adding /vendor/autoload.php as the location of the custom autoloader.
