PhpUnit – File/Iterator/Autoload.php failed opening

fatal errorphpunit

I am trying to get phpUnit running on a centos running plesk pannel.

I have installed phpunit successfully.

Package            Version State
File_Iterator      1.3.1   stable
PHPUnit            3.6.10  stable
PHPUnit_MockObject 1.1.1   stable
PHP_CodeCoverage   1.1.2   stable
PHP_Invoker        1.1.0   stable
PHP_Timer          1.0.2   stable
PHP_TokenStream    1.1.3   stable
Text_Template      1.1.1   stable

however whenever i run the phpunit command from the shell i get the following error:

PHP Warning: require_once(File/Iterator/Autoload.php): failed to open
stream: No such file or directory in
/usr/share/pear/PHPUnit/Autoload.php on line 45
PHP Fatal error:
require_once(): Failed opening required 'File/Iterator/Autoload.php'
(include_path='.:') in /usr/share/pear/PHPUnit/Autoload.php on line 45

Has anyone a clue how to solve the problem?

I tried a billion different articles and the commands that finally fixed this issue for me were the following:

sudo pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
sudo pear install --alldeps --force phpunit/phpunit

Then, when I ran phpunit, I didn't get the errors and it ran successfully.

UPDATE: As of 2013 November and Ubuntu 12.04 these 2 commands should suffice:

sudo pear config-set auto_discover 1
sudo pear install pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit

The following is an older answer. It's a known problem , although almost a year and a half had passed. Read about it here

The code coverage must be installed in order for phpunit to work properly

What you need to do is covered here:

code coverage installation through PEAR

Basically you have to type (with sudo if you don't have permissions, taken that phpunit is already installed):

pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
pear channel-discover components.ez.no
pear install phpunit/PHP_CodeCoverage

Phpunit – wrong path

Try adding /opt/local/PEAR to your php.ini file include_path.

//Before:
include_path='.:/usr/lib/php'
//After:
include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/opt/local/PEAR'

You may also need to restart your web server afterwards for the changes to take effect.

And as RobertPitt comments, this can also be done at runtime without access to the php.ini file.

<?php
$path = '/opt/local/PEAR';
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . $path);
?>
