PHPStorm 8 + PHPUnit 4.2.6 Error

Viewed 163 times

I can't make PHPUnit 4.2.6 to work with PHPStorm 8.

PHPUnit is loaded as phar inside PHPStorm 8 settings.

Whenever i try to run unit test in PHPStorm i get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /private/var/folders/qh/xjz1kr297v34pl6zy70_2rl00000gn/T/ide-phpunit.php(171) : eval()'d code on line 1

When i looked into "ide-phpunit.php", i found that it tries to eval invalid code, because of invalid "substr" function usage.

So my question is, if someone managed to make PHPUnit 4.2.6 work with PHPStorm 8?

PhpStorm generates special temporary "wrapping" to execute the tests and get the output in the form it understands better. In your case it's /private/var/folders/qh/xjz1kr297v34pl6zy70_2rl00000gn/T/ide-phpunit.php. Since the error says there is a syntax error, the first thing you should try is deleting it, on the next run the IDE will create the new one, hopefully without that problem.

If that doesn't help, as suggested in the comments, try downgrading the PHPUnit a few versions back, see if that helps. Alternatively try reinstalling the PhpStorm. If that doesn't work, you have better chances of finding an answer by reporting an issue to the dev team.

You should point to your vendor/autoload.php at Settings | PHP | PHPUnit when using PHPUnit via Composer.

This blog post has all the details (with pictures) to successfully configure IDE for such scenario: http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/PHPUnit+Installation+via+Composer+in+PhpStorm

P.S. The WI-18388 ticket is already fixed in v8.0

I've seen people suggest adding $this->withoutMiddleware(); to the function, but that hasn't worked well for me. Try running it with a token present.

$this->actingAs($this->admin)
        ->post('user/promote', ['userPromoteId' => $this->user->id, 'name' => $this->user->name, '_token' => csrf_token()]);

Silly mistake on my part... simply forgot to add phpunit as a dependency in the project. For anyone else that gets this error, to composer.json add:

"require-dev": {
    "phpunit/phpunit": "3.7.*"
},

And then run:

composer update

That solved the problem.

In order to have PHAR archive indexed by IDE it has to have .phar extension (that's a requirement).

The easiest solution is to place phpunit.phar somewhere in your project (usually it would be PROJECT_ROOT/vendor/ folder).

If having local copy is not desired (for whatever reason; although composer and other similar kind of tools (bower/npm/etc) are primarily aimed at keeping dependency stuff/packages locally), you may use symbolic links: either create a symbolic link to that file locally (e.g. PROJECT_ROOT/phpunit.phar --> /usr/bin/phpunit) .. or place a full copy (or such symbolic link) in separate folder somewhere on your disk and then reference it via PhpStorm's Settings | PHP | Include Paths functionality.
