Question

I have a php project with unit tests included. I use Netbeans for development and would like to have phpunit intergration in my IDE. If I run phpunit from the commandline, it is working. If I press Alt+F6 to run tests in Netbeans no tests run, I get the message:

No tests executed (Perhaps an error occurred, verify in Output window.)

The structure (it is a Zend Framework 2 module):

Foo/
  src/
    Foo/
      Bar.php
      Baz.php
  tests/
    Foo/
      BarTest.php
    bootstrap.php
    phpunit.xml
  Module.php
  autoload_register.php

Contents of BarTest.php

namespace Foo;

use PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase as TestCase;

class BarTest extends TestCase
{
    public function testIsWorking ()
    {
        $this->assertTrue(true);
    }
}

My phpunit.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<phpunit bootstrap="bootstrap.php">
    <testsuite name="Foo">
        <directory>./</directory>
    </testsuite>
</phpunit>

My bootstrap.php:

// Set error reporting pretty high
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);

// Get base, application and tests path
define('BASE_PATH',  dirname(__DIR__));

// Load autoloader
require_once BASE_PATH . '/autoload_register.php';

In the Netbeans project properties I tried:

1. To set the tests directory to Foo/tests (this is required I think)
2. To set specifically the bootstrap file (not required I think)
3. To set specifically the XML configuration file (not required I think)
4. To set specifically to run all *Test files (not required I think)

How can I ensure Netbeans can execute my phpunit tests?

Answer 1

Though I had set error_reporting to a high level, the PHP CLI did not have display_errors turned on. This was it, so now I got my reporting back…
