The pear installer currently shipped with mamp is version 1.9.1 while the phpunit installation needs version 1.9.2

The URL to get PHPUnit is changed. Follow the new one https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/

Great post.

Just a quick note that with Snow Leopard, I didn’t find this to be quite as necessary. Snow Leopard *finally* includes a modern version of PHP (5.3.0 for v10.6.2), so you can just install PHPUnit like you would on any other system, via ‘pear install’:

Mark,
Sylvain,

Thanks for sharing your experiences about configuring phpunit with MAMP. Combining these 2 tips, I got it working, and it works perfectly!

Hi,
It’s missing this in your document.

1. give right :
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/phpunit

2. replace @php_bin@ in phpunit-pear ( 1 first line)
with this, /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/php

sudo mv /usr/local/bin/phpunit-pear /usr/local/bin/phpunit

it’s work fine for me.

Hi Daniel, I remember having this same problem, but it was solved by running through the above. You could try Shoan’s suggestion instead. I also have my files outside of MAMP.

Sorry couldn’t be of more help. If I run into the problem on another machine, I’ll update the post – and if you fixed it, please let us know.

Hello!!!

I followed everything but keep getting command not found… The only difference its that i don’t have my files with in mamp but rather o a folder on my documents…

So y went to my folder where my test is located and on a terminal wrote phpunit tests and got “-bash: /usr/local/bin/phpunit: Permission denied” wich told me that was going to the right place, but then i wrote sudo phpunit tests and got “command not found”

any help i will appreciatte it

Hi,

Wouldn’t it just be easier to add /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin to the $PATH by editing the ~/.bash_profile?
