I cannot get VisualPHPUnit to run my tests

Question

I installed VisualPHPUnit as described here. I'm using XAMPP.

define('PEAR_PATH', 'c:\xampp\php\pear'); define('TEST_DIRECTORY', 'C:\xampp\htdocs\visualphpunit\tests');

When I run, I see no text, only nicely formatted blanks. Haven't been find-by-google anyone else who has reported an empty rendering of the VisualPHPUnit screen.

Left side shows "

VisualPHPUnit
Tests-------------
Options ------------
Archives -----------
Graphs -------------

And the right side is a big blank.

Running phpunit from command-line works fine.

C:\xampp\htdocs>phpunit visualphpunit\tests

NSinopoli (developer of VisualPHPUnit) here.

It's strongly recommended to report any bugs/issues with VPU on the project's issue tracker.

That said, @edorian's diagnosis is incorrect - having output in your tests does not break VPU. (It's actually collected and rendered below the results of the test that contains it.)

"When I run, I see no text, only nicely formatted blanks" - did you select any tests in the file selector before clicking "Run Tests"? Running VPU without selecting any tests will get you the blanks you've described. If that's not the case, are you running the tests with any "Options" selected? If so, there could be a configuration issue which is preventing proper rendering of the results.
