Installing PHPUnit with MAMP

Download your preferred copy of PHPUnit from http://pear.phpunit.de/get/

Extract the folder, placing the folder PHPUnit in /Applications/MAMP/bin/PHP5/lib/php

Open the file PHPUnit/Util/Fileloader.php and replace all instances of

[code lang="php"]@php_bin@[/code]

with

[code lang="php"]/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/php[/code]

Get the file pear-phpunit from the extracted folder and place it in usr/local/bin

1. Open the finder
2. Select Go->to folder
3. enter usr/local/bin in the path
4. Drag and drop the file.

With the finder open, select the file and open with a text editor. Ensure the file reads as follows:

[code lang="php"]
#!/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/php
< ?php

require_once 'PHPUnit/Util/Filter.php';

PHPUnit_Util_Filter::addFileToFilter(__FILE__, 'PHPUNIT');

require 'PHPUnit/TextUI/Command.php';

define('PHPUnit_MAIN_METHOD', 'PHPUnit_TextUI_Command::main');

PHPUnit_TextUI_Command::main();
?>
[/code]

Now rename your file to phpunit (if you already have a copy of phpunit installed, rename the file to phpunit-mamp so you know which one to use). In terminal:

[code lang="php"]
sudo mv /usr/local/bin/phpunit-pear /usr/local/bin/phpunit
[/code]

Now you can run tests from within MAMP by simply typing phpunit into terminal.
