Question

Is there a way I can have PHPUnit just continue after an error? For example, I have a large test suite (400+ steps) and I would prefer that if say, an element is not found, it doesn’t stop the rest of my script from continuing.

There is a better way to do this. Instead of overloading every assert*() method you can overload just one method: runTest(). It is for each assertion, and exceptions can be caught:

abstract class AMyTestCase extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    public function runTest()
    {
        try {
            parent::runTest();
        }
        catch ( MyCustomException $Exc ) {
            // will continue tests
        }
        catch ( Exception $Exc ) {
            if ( false === strpos($Exc->getMessage(), 'element not found') ) {
                // rethrow:
                throw $Exc;
            }
            // will also continue
        }
    }
}
