Included class inside a PHPUnit file can't use Autoloader?

Question

I have write a router.test.php file:

class RouterTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    public function setUp()
    {
        require_once '../router.class.php';
    }


    public function testUnit()
    {
        $this->assertEquals(true, true);
    }
}

... for simply test if my PHPUnit library is working correctly. But when I type phpunit router.test.php in my console I get this error message: Fatal error: Trait 'Core' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\_Framework\ver_3\libraries\router\router.class.php on line 23

... my Router class is working correctly and my Autoloader automatically include trait (named Core) inside my Router class.

Where is the problem?

My Autoloader register method looks like:

public static function register()
{
    return spl_autoload_register(
        __CLASS__ . '::load'
    );
}

... I use this method in my index.php file, should I write another autoloader for PHPUnits?

I have include necessary files in the setUp method, now the class looks like that:

<?php
use Framework\Libraries\Configuration\Configuration;
use Framework\Libraries\Autoload\Autoloader;



class RouterTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    public function setUp()
    {
        require '../../core.trait.php';
        require '../../configuration/configuration.class.php';
        require '../../autoload/autoloader.class.php';

        Configuration::set('files', [
            require '../../../configuration/framework.configuration.php',
            require '../../../configuration/autoloader.configuration.php',
            require '../../../configuration/router.configuration.php',
        ]);

        Autoloader::set('prefixes', ['Framework']);
        Autoloader::set('extensions', ['.class.php', '.trait.php']);
        Autoloader::register();

        require_once '../router.class.php';
    }

    public function testUnit()
    {
        $this->assertEquals(true, true);
    }
}

... an I get a new error message: E Time: 109 ms, Memory: 1.75Mb There was 1 error, but I can't get the error message. I think it's because Autoloader can't load files because of wrong path.

You need to include your autoloader class in this class too. include_once('AutoLoader.php'); or you can create bootstrap.php file for phpunit & include your all required class in that file. — Rikesh
@Rikesh Thanks you, It seems it works. You can post a reply so I approved it. — user2518044

No it won't load index file automatically. So you need to include all your relevant class in your unit test class by adding include_once('AutoLoader.php'); in or another way is to create a bootstrap.php file & include all classes you need in all the PHPUnit Test class.

Reference.
