Description

I have this in my phpunit.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<phpunit bootstrap="bootstrap.php">
    ...
    <filter>
        <whitelist>
            <directory>../application</directory>
            <directory>../library/Abc</directory>
        </whitelist>
    </filter>
</phpunit>

I get this error when I run the tests:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PHPUnit_Framework_Exception' with message '../application does not exist' in C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\5.3\PEAR\PHPUnit\Util\Filter.php on line 219

PHPUnit_Framework_Exception: ../application does not exist in C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\5.3\PEAR\PHPUnit\Util\Filter.php on line 219

This runs without issue from the command line. I'm guessing PHPUnit is being executed from the wrong directory or something?

  • Category set to MakeGood
  • Assignee set to Atsuhiro KUBO
  • Target version set to 1.2.0
  • Start date deleted (11/14/2010)

MakeGood does not specify the current working directory explicitly. Accordingly the current working directory is set to /path/to/eclipse/plugins/com.piece_framework.makegood.stagehand_testrunner_xxx/resources/php/bin. This will cause any problems with tests which depend the current working directory.

To set the current working directory to the project root before launching will fix relative path issues.

#2
Updated by Atsuhiro KUBO over 2 years ago

A workaround is to write chdir(PROJECT_ROOT) into the preload script. See the following example:

test/prepare.php:

...
chdir(dirname(__FILE__) . '/..');
...

Atsuhiro,

It should be set to the directory in which the phpunit.xml file is located (in my case /tests).

Glen.

Do you have used PHPUnit 3.4.x?

As of PHPUnit 3.5.0, all paths in a XML file are automatically converted to paths based on the absolute path of the XML file. But this behavior has not been provided by PHPUnit 3.4.x.

Additionally, the working directory for a test run is set to the directory where the launcher script exists since MakeGood does not change the working directory.

We recommend to use PHPUnit 3.5.x. But if you want to use PHPUnit 3.4.x, you can change the working directory explicitly by your preload script. And your tests will work.
