When I try to run PHPUnit in Netbeans I face this error: 

Fatal error: Class 'PHPUnit_Framework_TestSuite' not found in C:\Users\julian\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.2\phpunit\NetBeansSuite.php on line 63
Done.

This happens both in Netbeans and CLI.

I started debugging this problem by navigating to this directory: C:\Users\julian\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.2\phpunit\.

That directory contained one file: NetBeansSuite.php. I opened it to look for clues, and saw this line: 

class NetBeansSuite extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestSuite {

What I didn't see is any concrete PHPUnit_Framework_TestSuite class.

What's next is that the NetBeansSuite.php file doesn't have any include or require language constructs that may include the PHPUnit_Framework_TestSuite class.

So, in order to fix the fatal error problem I should include the PHPUnit_Framework_TestSuite in NetbeansSuite.php.

This is a problem because I'm not the author of NetbeansSuite.php. On top of that the author of NetbeansSuite.php wrote this in the comment section: 

 <b>WARNING: User changes to this file should be avoided.</b>

I read further in the comments: 

 * Copyright 2010 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

I guess the NetbeansSuite.php file is outdated.

Searching on the net brought me to this stackoverflow question:

Why, Fatal error: Class 'PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase' not found in ...?

They claim that using a namespaced version of PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase should fix the problem. So I did what they wrote.

I stubbornly changed NetBeansSuite.php. Old code: 

class NetBeansSuite extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestSuite {

New code: 

require_once 'PHPUnit/Autoload.php';

use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;

class NetBeansSuite extends TestCase {

I tried to run the test case again, and this was the unfortunately result:

Fatal error: Declaration of CalculatorTest::setUp() must be compatible with PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase::setUp(): void in C:\wamp64\www\test\CalculatorTest.php on line 97

In other words, it gave me a new problem.

My system: 

Windows 10
WAMP
php 7.2.14
PHPUnit 8.0.6
Netbeans version 8.2 (Netbeans PHPUnit plugin installed through Tools > Plugins. Version: 0.26.2)

My question is: does anybody know how the NetBeansSuite.php file should be like with the system described above?

The setUp method in my test case: 
protected function setUp()
{
    $this->object = new Calculator;
}

Update: The Skeleton Generator project is abandoned. See link: https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit-skeleton-generator So in order to fix the Declaration of CalculatorTest::setUp() must be compatible with PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase::setUp() error the corresponding return type declaration should be used in the test case. 
// I added : void
protected function setUp(): void
{
    $this->object = new Calculator;
}

// : void needs to be added in the tearDown method as well
protected function tearDown(): void

Unfortunately, this gave me new problems: 

Warning: require_once(PHPUnit/Autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp64\www\test\CalculatorTest.php on line 4

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'PHPUnit/Autoload.php' (include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in C:\wamp64\www\test\CalculatorTest.php on line 4

I solved this by manually installing PEAR and creating a new "PHPUnit" directory in C:\php\PEAR. Then I created a new Autoload.php file. I filled the content of Autoload.php with a PSR-4 example file found at: https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-4/.

This solved the Autoload problem, but I faced a new problem during the execution of a test case. 

C:\wamp64\www\test>phpunit CalculatorTest.php
PHPUnit 8.0.6 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

No tests executed!

It shows No tests executed! but I have 5 tests. I'll make a new question for this. Here it is: PHPUnit 8 installed on Windows through PHAR shows No tests are executed

Initially indeed you should update your namespaces since it has been changed in more recent versions of PHPUnit.

The error however indicates that your CalculatorTest::setUp() method is not compatible with the PHPUnit version. Could you maybe post that method here?

  • The setUp method looks like this: `protected function setUp() { $this->object = new Calculator; }`. No real rocket science. Skeleton generator wrote it actually. Maybe it has something to do with static / non static ?? – Julian Mar 27 '19 at 15:38
  • @Julian actually that looks ok with later versions of PHPUnit. However how does the method look like at `PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase::setUp` ? Also how did you install PHPUnit? Since as far as i can see it is with a netbeans plugin? If yes which version would it be – Dirkos Mar 27 '19 at 15:43
  • I just installed it as a PHAR, used this link: https://phpunit.de/getting-started/phpunit-8.html and this: https://phpunit.de/manual/6.5/en/installation.html#installation.phar.windows – Julian Mar 27 '19 at 15:44
  • the PHPUnit plugin in Netbeans is Version: 0.26.2. – Julian Mar 27 '19 at 15:58
  • I solved the problem. PHPUnit Plugin Version 0.26.2 seems to be outdated. Therefore Skeleton Generator gives an out-dated test case too. So, I just used the example at the getting-started page and it worked. Link to getting-started page: https://phpunit.de/getting-started/phpunit-8.html – Julian Mar 29 '19 at 09:16
  • @julian, i suggest to install your dependencies with composer since they are always project specific and not locked to your IDE – Dirkos Mar 29 '19 at 14:18

For the same issue, I directly changed the file "NetBeansSuite.php" (C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.2\phpunit) as following :

class NetBeansSuite extends \PHPUnit\Framework\TestSuite {

After that, CLI and Netbeans was working.
