Phalcon UnitTesting

Question

I want to create an abstract unit test from Phalcon\Test\UnitTestCase as in the documentation. However when I run my test I become:

PHP Fatal error:  Class 'Phalcon\Test\UnitTestCase' not found

I have followed the exact documentation steps. Did anyone have the same problem and solved it?

Do you have autoloading configured in your project? – jcbwlkr Sep 17 '13 at 20:36 — jcbwlkr, Sep 17 '13 at 20:36

This class is part of the incubator: https://github.com/phalcon/incubator

$loader = new Phalcon\Loader();

$loader->registerNamespaces(array(
    'Phalcon' => '/path/to/incubator/Library/Phalcon/'
));

$loader->register();

I am getting the same. I used composer to do the installation. But still I get it. Isn't composer install them in the correct locations? Bit confused... – masterFly Jun 16 '16 at 08:12

I figure it out.

Basically we have to do 2 things.

is whats in the @twistedxtra's answer. (setting up the path to where the incubator is)
in the testsTestUnitTest.php we created, it has the following line

class UnitTest extends \UnitTestCase {

we have to change that line to

class UnitTest extends \Phalcon\Test\UnitTestCase {

What we did was set the proper namespace so that the code knows where the UnitTestCase class is.

Thats it. Cheers...!!!

Make sure you run phpunit command in tests folder. It's very important.

Don't run something like phpunit tests/

no idea why this was downvoted, as this is clearly one of the many problems and the suggestion is right! I had the very same problem, just because I was running it from different directory, and autoloader failed to match the paths correctly. – Radek Jan 10 '20 at 14:33
