for some reason I lost the option to run phpunit tests with my netbeans IDE (8.1). everything worked ok the last time I check (several months ago), but now the option to "test file" or "test focused method" don't appear any more when I right-click the code. (#2 in the image)
=> see image for screenshots showing everything (because of my low feedback until now, I had to upload everything just in one image..)
I installed phpunit through tools->plugins (tried to uninstalled and reinstall, it didn't work)
I have set the phpunit in tools->option->php->phpunit (#4 in the image)
I have set the project testing configuration to set phpunit as the test provider. (#3 & #1 in the image. In the past it worked without setting bootstrap and XML configuration, but now since it doesn't I tried clicking on "Generate". It didn't help)
I have phpunit installed on my computer and it is in my PATH (#5 in the image)
My test name does end with '*Test.php'
I tried to delete netbeans cache and reopened netbeans, it didn't work. by the way, debugging does work.
I tried downgrading to phpunit 3.7.10. didn't help
update: I recreated the entire project on another computer -> it works! I can run the the test. I still don't know why I can't run it on the original computer though.
Any suggestions what am I missing? If you require more logs/info let me know and I will update question.
