Installing PHP Unit on Mac OS X running Zend Server CE

December 2, 2009 | 2 Comments

The main trick is not to mix pear as is /usr/bin/pear and /usr/local/zend/bin/pear. If you have already installed PHPUnit using the default Mac OS X Pear, do not mix /usr/bin/phpunit and /usr/local/zend/bin/phpunit.

That confusion out of the way, it seems the pear installed with the zend server is far from up to date. RUpdate it as follow :

# remove the reg file for pear.php.net as its wrong
rm /usr/local/zend/share/pear/.channels/pear.php.net.reg
# remove the .channels as it is obsolete
mv /usr/local/zend/share/pear/.channels /usr/local/zend/share/pear/.channels.old
# now lets get the correct settings
/usr/local/zend/bin/pear channel-update pear.php.net
# update the pear installer
/usr/local/zend/bin/pear upgrade pear

All this done, proceeed with the PHPUnit install

# phpunit moved from pear to there own pear server, so you need to add there channel
/usr/local/zend/bin/pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
# now you can add phpunit
/usr/local/zend/bin/pear install -a phpunit/PHPUnit

That’s it! Below are a couple of links to helpful pages.

    Helpful writeup! One note, with at least my install of OSX and Zend Server CE, I needed to run

    . /etc/zce.rc

    To include the zend libraries… See http://forums.zend.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=792

    On the channel discover I would get

    dyld: NSLinkModule() error
    dyld: Library not loaded: /scratch/plebld/208/rdbms/lib/libclntsh.dylib.10.1
    Referenced from: /usr/local/zend/lib/php_extensions/oci8.so
    Reason: image not found
    Trace/BPT trap

    the zce.rc fixed it.
