  • 0

PHPUnit seems to execute properly (appropriate tests are executed & pass), but during code coverage an error is thrown. We are using PHPUnit 3.5 with ZF 1.11. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

(FYI: I looked at some related StackOverflow posts, but nothing seemed to solve this issue for us.)

    The error means that /home/za/application/modules/proposal/views/helpers/FormSpecial.php is declaring a class named Zend_View_Helper_FormSpecial which is already declared by some other module–probably .../Zend/View/Helper/FormSpecial.php in the Zend Framework. If you intended to replace Zend’s FormSpecial with your own, you need to give it a different class name.

    The problem is that PHP_CodeCoverage will load every PHP file in the whitelist that hasn’t already been loaded. If one of those modules defines a class with the same name, you get this error.
