This contains an example project containing a single PHPUnit test. You can use this to check that you have a working environment for running PHPUnit tests.
You can either install the software you require and run throught the commands on your machine. Or you can use a VM (the provisioning script is provided in this repo).
You need to install the following:
- PHP 5.3 or higher
- Composer Install instructions
Once installed use composer to download the required dependencies:
cd sample-unit-test-project
composer install
Finally run PHPUnit:
./vendor/bin/phpunit
You should see an output along the lines of:
PHPUnit 4.8.0 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.
.
Time: 3.55 seconds, Memory: 4.25MB
OK (1 test, 1 assertion)
The important bit is the OK (1 test, 1 assertion). If you see that then you've installed everything correctly to run PHPUnit!
You need to install vagrant on your machine.
The from this directory provision the VM and log in to it:
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
This will provision a VM running Ubuntu 15.10. It will install PHP 5.6 and composer. Finally it will run composer.
Once logged into the VM run PHPUnit:
cd /vagrant/sample-unit-test-project
./vendor/bin/phpunit
You should see an output along the lines of:
PHPUnit 4.8.0 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

Time: 3.55 seconds, Memory: 4.25MB
