Install PHPUnit on WampServer

I'm using WampServer 2.1 (with PHP 5.3.4) on Windows 7 64-bit.

This guide was made with the help of Itay Adler.

Step 1 - Installing the PEAR package manager

• Add the php directory (in my case "d:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.4") to your PATH (via Advanced System Settings, Environment Variables)
• Download http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar to somewhere (let's say "C:\Temp\pear")
• Open a new command prompt as an administrator:

  c:
  cd c:\temp\pear
  php go-pear.phar
  

Step 2 - Installing PHPUnit

Open a new command prompt as an administrator:

pear config-set auto_discover 1
pear install pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit

Step 3 - Testing PHPUnit

• Create a file called "MyTest.php" with the following code:

  <?php
  class MyTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
  {
    public function testOneEqualsOne()
    {
      $this->assertEquals(1, 1);
    }
  }
  ?>
  

• Open a new command prompt and run: phpunit MyTest.php

• You should see the following output:

  PHPUnit 3.5.15 by Sebastian Bergmann.

  Time: 0 seconds, Memory: 5.25Mb
  
  OK (1 test, 1 assertion)
