Yes, I wanted to do it manually. I wanted to make sure that the parts and pieces were where I wanted them to be. Really, I wanted to make sure that I could replicate the setup on my Flash Drive development environment. I took Sebastian Bergmann’s directions, with a minor modification, and got it to work. Here is what I did.
First I downloaded the PHP source files from Sebastian’s site. You can find them at http://pear.phpunit.de/get/.
Next I went to the PHPUnit Manual and followed the directions for manually installing it. You can find those at http://www.phpunit.de/manual/current/en/installation.html. I copied the PHPUnit folder under my PHP\PEAR\ folder. I copied the phpunit.php and phpunit.bat to my library folder under my apache directory. I updated my php.ini file in my c:\windows\ folder (this is Vista after all) and added c:\php\pear to my include path. Lastly, I did not follow step 3 of the directions because in the version that I was using there was no @php_bin@ in that file to modify.
After I was done I created a simple test file by copying the array test form the documentation. Then I ran the command “phpunit test\ArrayTest” and it worked! Note that I had to qualify the test directory as it was not part of my include path for PHP.
That’s all there was to it. Now comes the really hard part. I have to practice writing unit tests. Ugh! Wish me luck!
