Installing PHPUnit on MAMP 2.1.3 (Mountain Lion) - phpunit

Question

I'm struggling with this issue.
Here's what I've tried :
$ cd /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/bin/
$ sudo ./pear channel-update pear.php.net
$ sudo ./pear upgrade pear
$ sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/bin/pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
$ sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/bin/pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com
$ sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/bin/pear install phpunit/PHPUnit
So it seems to work, but phpunit is actually installed in
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php3/bin/
If I tried to launch it from there, it doesn't work (no output, no log). If I move it to the php 5.4.10 folder, it still doesn't work.
I've replaced the Mac OS php cli with MAMP's :
$ which php
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/bin/php
As suggested on some website, I've also tried to remove
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/conf/pear.conf
But nothing seems to help.
Any idea ?

Answer 1

I'd recommend using composer. It's becoming a standard.
To start with, go to your project's root directory first and create a composer.json file there:
{
"require-dev": {
"phpunit/phpunit": "*"
},
"autoload": {
"psr-0": {"": "src"}
},
"config": {
"bin-dir": "bin"
}
}
You can tune it to your needs later. You'll probably want to configure the autoloading if you'd like to leverage composer's autoloader (which I recomend).
Next download the composer:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
The above script will not only download it but also verify your environment if it's suitable to run composer binary.
If everything goes well install your dependencies:
./composer.phar install --dev
PHPUnit binary will be installed in the bin directory (configured in composer.json):
./bin/phpunit --version

I've met this problem this morning and find this topic but no answer is helpful. After a couple of hours google search, I found this link, it helped me solve my problem
http://www.startupcto.com/server-tech/macosx/installing-phpunit-on-mamp
My MAMP php version is 5.5.3
First, you'll probably need to update PEAR:
sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.3/bin/pear channel-update pear.php.net
sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.3/bin/pear upgrade pear
After that, add the appropriate PEAR channels for PHPUnit:
sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.3/bin/pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.3/bin/pear channel-discover pear.symfony.com
sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.3/bin/pear channel-discover components.ez.no
Finally, install PHPUnit:
sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.3/bin/pear install phpunit/PHPUnit
Test phpunit to make sure it was installed correctly:
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.3/bin/phpunit --version
Link phpunit to your path
sudo ln -s /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.3/bin/phpunit /usr/local/bin/phpunit
Hope this help you and anyone meet this problem in the future!

You could try this solution from this site
The php bin could vary from installation.
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/pear channel-discover components.ez.no
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/pear install phpunit/PHPUnit
