PHPunit Xampp Update

Question

This morning, I realized that the version of PHPUnit shipped with Xampp is out of date ..., Version 3.7.21. installed in Xampp, but the actual version (as of this writing) is 6.0.13.

I tried some solution suggested by Google (all old 5 years + solution), including

• https://wehuberconsultingllc.com/wordpress/2007/08/18/updating-phpunit-on-xampp/
• How to configure PhpUnit in Xampp?
• http://www.righthandedmonkey.com/2012/09/setting-up-phpunit-with-xampp.html
• http://forum.kohanaframework.org/discussion/7346/installing-phpunit-on-windows-xampp/p1
• ...

In any case, the pear does not seem to be a viable solution. Is there an easy way to upgrade PHPUnit in Xampp?

Answer 1

In fact, it can be updated in three simple steps:

1. Download the latest version of PHPUnit here: https://phpunit.de/index.html
2. Copy phpunit.phar to C: \ xampp \ php.
3. In the file: 'phpunit.bat', update the following line: "%PHPBIN%" "C:\xampp\php\phpunit" %* to: "%PHPBIN%" "C:\xampp\php\phpunit.phar" % *

You do not need to restart Apache.

Additional note : in your tests you need to replace: phpunit_framework_testcase with: TestCase

And include: use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase at the top of the test files.

Of course, test suites are still compatible on my production server (centos7, follow the official documentation for updating on Linux https://phpunit.de/getting-started.html ).

Thanks, it works fine with XAMPP v7.3.7
