Current I am trying to install phpunit on my mac os x and mamp

  • 0

Current I am trying to install phpunit on my mac os x and mamp server:

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

Errors which I got during installation:

Validation Error: This package.xml requires PEAR version 1.9.4 to parse properly, we are version 1.9.2

pear upgrade pear

Nothing to upgrade

UPDATE 1

This is my pear config. I assume that I messed up local and mamp installs(I didn’t know that mamp also has pear, so I installed local one).

I suppose something wrong with bin_dir, php_dir and other paths?

    Ok, my bad!

    The problem was in 2 pear installations.

    So after running:

    pear uninstall pear;
pear config-set bin_dir /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin;
pear config-set doc_dir /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/lib/php/doc;
pear config-set ext_dir /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626;
pear config-set php_dir /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/lib/php;
pear config-set data_dir /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/lib/php/data;
pear config-set php_bin /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin/php;
pear config-set test_dir /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/lib/php/test;
pear config-set www_dir /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.2/lib/php/www

    Everything worked fine.

    Thank you for your help.
