Question

I am trying to automate my testing procedure using Ant.
This is my error:

test:
PHPUnit 3.5.0 by Sebastian Bergmann.

unrecognized option --log-xml
/var/www/nrka2/build/build.xml:30: exec returned: 1
BUILD FAILED (total time: 1 second)

And this is my build.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="eventManager" default="build" basedir="../">

    <target name="getProps">
        <property file="${basedir}/build/ant.properties" />

        </replaceregexp>
    </target>

    <target name="build" depends="buildPreparation,configure,test" />
</project>

Can someone help me to solve this problem?

You should probably use --log-junit instead.

Note there are also no --log-pmd, --log-metrics or --coverage-xml options so you’ll need to change these too.

Check out this following github link regarding switches removed from PHPUnit:

• --log-pmd and --log-metrics have been removed as described here with the intention that the corresponding functionality will be moved into PHP_Depend and PHPMD
• Use --coverage-clover instead of --coverage-xml

Hope that helps!
