PHPUnit - does nothing, no errors, no output

For future reference, for those who are facing any problem with PHPUnit, and PHPUnit is failing silently, just add this three lines inside phpunit.xml:

<phpunit ....... >
    ...
    ...
    <php>
         <ini name="display_errors" value="true"/>
    </php>
</phpunit>

After that run the tests again, and now you can see why PHPUnit is failing,

AND ... ENJOY UNIT TESTING :)

I'm on OSX and MAMP. To get error messages I had to adjust the following entries in php.ini:

display_errors = On
display_startup_errors = On

Please not that this has to go into /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/conf/php.ini .
