{{Manual:PHP_unit_testing/navigation}}

You must have PHPUnit 3.6.7 (or later) installed to run the unit tests. Most developers uses the very latest PHPUnit version, so there is no guarantee an older one will actually pass the tests we wrote.

Where:
; /some/path/to : is the installation prefix which depends upon your distribution and the installation method used. Usually one of <tt>/usr<tt>, <tt>/usr/local/</tt> or <tt>/opt/local/</tt>.
; A.B.C: is the PHPUnit version

If you have something similar to <tt>phpunit --version</tt> output above, you should be fine and can start [[Manual:PHP unit testing/Running the unit tests|running the unit tests]].

== Known issues ==

=== Apt package for Ubuntu 11.10, 12.04 is broken ===
<kbd>sudo apt-get install phpunit</kbd> results in a broken installation missing "PHP/CodeCoverage/Filter.php" ([https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/phpunit/+bug/770394 Ubuntu launchpad bug 770394]).

This is [[:bugzilla:35110|bug 35110]] and [https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61358 PHP#bug 61358].  This might happen when using version of [http://pecl.php.net/package/xdiff pecl-xdiff PHP extension] older than 1.5.2 with PHP 5.3.10+.  To fix, please upgrade pecl-xdiff extension to [http://pecl.php.net/package-changelog.php?package=xdiff version 1.5.2 or newer]. The '''xdiff''' tool is not affected by this problem.


== Installation troubleshooting ==
If you get a version error after installation, for example...
 PHPUnit 3.6.7 or later required, you have 3.5.15.
...this means that you probably have more than one version of PHPUnit installed on your machine. You may need to edit your include_path in your php.ini file to point to the location of the newer installation. You may also need to add this path to the PATH variable in your .profile.⏎
