PHPUnit , PEAR upgrading Errors

votes

Note : I've read all questions about this problem

PEAR is installed and configured on my system (Ubuntu 11.10 + Apache/2.2.20). Because

<?php
require_once 'System.php';
var_dump(class_exists('System', false));
?>

Returning this :

bool(true)

(PEAR Manual : Checking if PEAR works Step 4)

When i tried to use phpunit i'm getting this error.

PHP Warning:  require_once(PHP/CodeCoverage/Filter.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/bin/phpunit on line 38
PHP Fatal error:  require_once(): Failed opening required 'PHP/CodeCoverage/Filter.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /usr/bin/phpunit on line 38

After this error i've decided to install it

sudo /usr/bin/pear install phpunit/PHP_CodeCoverage

But i'm getting 

phpunit/PHP_CodeCoverage requires PEAR Installer (version >= 1.9.4), installed version is 1.9.2

I'm getting this error when upgrading PEAR with sudo pear upgrade

PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined method PEAR_Registry::packageinfo() in /usr/share/php/PEAR/Dependency2.php on line 687

I'm not sure what is the problem ?

ADDITIONAL

(command : result)

/usr/bin/pear config-get php_dir : /usr/share/php

Configuration File (php.ini) Path (on phpinfo();) : /etc/php5/apache2

php -c /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini -r 'echo get_include_path()."\n";' : .:/usr/share/php

pear upgrade pear : PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method PEAR_Registry::packageinfo() in /usr/share/php/PEAR/Dependency2.php on line 687

PEAR Version : 1.9.2 and php-pear package installed.

Whats your current PEAR version? Also did you install php-pear with apt-get or did you do a manual install? - prodigitalson
PEAR Version : 1.9.2 . I've installed php-pear - Eray

@Eray: I published an article on how to install PHPUnit without PEAR. Take a look and see if will help you get PHPUnit going again, either way can you let me know what you thought? If it worked I'd like to post as an answer to your question. melikedev.com/2012/01/25/php-phpunit-use-phpunit-without-pear - Mike Purcell

PEAR 1.9.2 is outdated and broken beyond any hope of repair with newer pear server infrastructure.

I have no clue why distributions still insist on something that is just broken :)

Install a new pear via go-pear.phar and make sure you have pear version 1.9.4 and then force pear to ignore it's old cache files using

sudo pear install --force --alldeps phpunit/phpunit

Getting rid of the old pear:

sudo apt-get purge php5-pear

Now

which pear

should result in the command not being found. If it is still there delete the binary and the associated php classes in /usr/share/php.

From your console history I'd say you didn't install the new pear with sudo rights so it landed in /home/ or in /usr/local/ instead of in the default system location.

It shouldn't matter as long as you

  • Get rid of the old pear
  • Change your php.ini include_path to the new pear install location

It can be difficult to troubleshoot for a specific environment ... but, here goes ...

I've had issues when not using the actual pear.phpunit.de channel to install PHPUnit, especially when trying to use a package manager like apt-get or yum. First, you need to be sure your pear installation is up to date. Kill the existing install from your package manager:

  • sudo apt-get purge php5-pear

Then make sure you delete the executable binary file if it still exists. This is probably /usr/bin/pear, but you may need to modify the path based on your environment:

  • rm /usr/bin/pear

Next install the new pear by downloading go-pear.phar and executing it. Make sure you install it with sudo rights (or as root) so that it is installed in the correct location:

You can then verify that pear works by executing the next command. If so, you'll get a list of commands:

  • pear help

Finally, upgrade pear (just in case -- you did just get the latest version using go-pear.phar, after all). After this, make sure you use the actual pear.phpunit.de channel to install PHPUnit:

  • sudo pear upgrade PEAR
  • sudo pear config-set auto_discover 1
  • sudo pear install --alldeps pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit

This has worked well for me ... hope it helps.

UPDATE

To get all the features of PHPUnit working you'll likely need to also do the following:

  • sudo pear install pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit_MockObject

You'd think --alldeps would cover this but ...

UPDATE 2

This method won't work with the current Ubuntu 11.10 because it installs the broken pear installer 1.9.2 ...

Here's an alternative method given your continued issues using the go-pear.phar install method ...

  • sudo apt-get install php-pear

Next, tell PEAR to update its own channel.

  • sudo pear channel-update pear.php.net

Then, tell PEAR to upgrade itself to the newest version.

  • sudo pear upgrade-all

Finally, install PHPUnit as proscribed above ...

  • sudo pear config-set auto_discover 1
  • sudo pear install --alldeps pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit

I got mine working by doing a manual installation.

I've just upgraded my Ubuntu system and I've got PEAR 1.9.4 stable. Run

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

to get your Ubuntu synchronised and up to date.

If you were still struggling with the versions as above my suggestion is to install a previous version of PHP_CodeCoverage that is compatible with your phpunit. Before I upgraded my system, I had phpunit-3.5.15 (stable), PHP_CodeCoverage 1.0.5 (stable) installed with PEAR 1.9.2. If this is your phpunit version

sudo pear install PHP_CodeCoverage-1.0.5

should install PHP_CodeCoverage with PEAR 1.9.2.

I hope this helps and you get your unit tests running.
