Could not open input file: phpunit.phar

[rafalkukla]

Hi there,

I am new here. After setting up the environment file for the first time, I run the following command: php prepare.php

and I had expected output:

Success: Prepared environment.

Then I run: php test.php

And at the end of the test I have this error message:

Could not open input file: phpunit.phar
Error: Failed to perform operation.

Tried to Google, but can't find any reference to this.

It seems that phpunit.phar is not where it should be. Can you check the folder you defined for the prepare, for the phpunit.phar file (should be $WPT_PREPARE_DIR . '/phpunit.phar')?

Hi @pfefferle Thank you. I set export WPT_TEST_DIR=$WPT_PREPARE_DIR as per documentation and example. Shall I try with $WPT_PREPARE_DIR . '/phpunit.phar'

[rafalkukla]

If I set the path as you suggested $WPT_PREPARE_DIR . '/phpunit.phar' gives me errors

bash: export: `.': not a valid identifier
bash: export: `/phpunit.phar': not a valid identifier

[pfefferle]

Sorry, I think you got me wrong. $WPT_PREPARE_DIR . '/phpunit.phar' is the reference in the code. It means that it tries to run the phpunit.phar in the directory, you set with export, for example export WPT_TEST_DIR=/temp. Then you can check if phpunit.phar is correctly installed in /temp (or whatever path you set).

Hi @pfefferle

If I set path to anything other than $WPT_PREPARE_DIR in the .env file and then run php prepare.php

Error: WPT_TEST_DIR must be the same as WPT_PREPARE_DIR when running locally.

[pfefferle]

Sorry for confusing you, I just wanted to tell you, where you have to search for the phpunit.phar file. Please use the same path for WPT_TEST_DIR and WPT_PREPARE_DIR

[rafalkukla]

Sorry for misunderstand you. I though you were suggesting changing the export path.

Looking at the test output - It start with cd /wordpress' && php ./vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit || php phpunit.phar

Would this mean is correctly installed? Because is executed?

[pfefferle]

do you still get the error?

[rafalkukla]

Yes, at the end of the test.

Could not open input file: phpunit.phar
Error: Failed to perform operation.

This PR has solved my problem - https://github.com/WordPress/phpunit-test-runner/pull/137/files Thank you @pfefferle for your help!

I have this same error, I'm not sure how the referenced PR would fix it (and I'm running latest anyway, so it hasn't).

I would wager the issue stems from an assumption somewhere, because prepare.php has this code:

`// If PHP version is 5.6-7.0, download PHPUnit 5.7 phar directly. if ( version_compare( $env_php_version, '7.1', '<' ) ) { perform_operations( array( 'wget -O ' . escapeshellarg( $WPT_PREPARE_DIR . '/phpunit.phar' ) . ' https://phar.phpunit.de/phpunit-5.7.phar', ) );

// Otherwise, use Composer to download PHPUnit to get further necessary dependencies. } else {

    // First, check if composer is available. Download if not.
    $composer_cmd = 'cd ' . escapeshellarg( $WPT_PREPARE_DIR ) . ' && ';

    $retval = 0;
    $composer_path = escapeshellarg( system( 'which composer', $retval ) );
    if ( $retval === 0 ) {
            $composer_cmd .= $composer_path . ' ';
    } else {
            log_message( 'Local Composer not found. Downloading latest stable ...' );

            perform_operations( array(
                    'wget -O ' . escapeshellarg( $WPT_PREPARE_DIR . '/composer.phar' ) . ' https://getcomposer.org/composer-stable.phar',
            ) );

            $composer_cmd .= 'php composer.phar ';
    }

    // Set Composer PHP environment, then run Composer.
    perform_operations( array(
            $composer_cmd . 'config platform.php ' . escapeshellarg( $env_php_version ),
            $composer_cmd . 'update',
    ) );

} `

So if you're running PHP > 7.0 then phpunit.phar will never exist, as the correct call is via: vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit or 'vendor/bin/phpunit' (symlink)

I haven't been able to work out where this anomalous call to phpunit.phar is coming from though so far.

I thought a quick hack solution would be to create a symlink from phpunit.phar to vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit but now I just get:

Error: Failed to perform operation.

instead of:

Could not open input file: phpunit.phar

It doesn't appear to be a hinderance to report.php being run, but still something is going on somewhere that seems to be broken.

Thanks.
