Error executing phpunit.

PHP_CodeSniffer Bug

I want to contribute to PHP_Codesniffer and I followed the CONTRIBUTING.md documentation and executed them. After executing phpunit I encountered this error.

To reproduce

This is the steps I took to reproduce the behavior:

1. Ran cd PHP_CodeSniffer
2. Ran bin/phpcs
3. Ran phpunit

This was the output after executing script bin/phpcs

My environment details

Operating System	Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
PHP version	8.2.8
PHP_CodeSniffer version	3.5.5, master
Standard	[e.g., PSR2, PSR12, Squiz, custom]
Install type	git clone
PHPUnit version	9.5.10

Please confirm:

• [x] I confirm that this bug is a bug in PHP_CodeSniffer and not in one of the external standards.

@nelson1995 Thank you for your interest in contributing to PHPCS.

This is not a bug, but a question though, so please don't open a bug report for something like this.

Now, as for running the unit tests, there are a couple of issues here:

1. You are trying to run the tests with an incompatible PHPUnit version. The tests are currently only compatible with PHPUnit 4 - 7, not with PHPUnit 9. There is a PR open to change this.
2. You are trying to run the tests on PHP 8.2. While this is possible with PHPUnit 7, the config file will not parse, so you would need to pass the config via the command line.

To get up and running quickly, I'd suggest running composer install and then using vendor/bin/phpunit on PHP 7.4.

If you want more extensive information, I suggest you have a read through the open PR which updates the CONTRIBUTING.md file.

@jrfnl my apologies for the error. Thank you for the feedback. I’m going to resolve it.

Hello Juliette,

A quick question. Why does PHPUnit return an error “class Php_Timer not found” ? I’m running PHPUnit via ./vendor/bin/phpunit with PHP version 7.4 and I checked the installed PHPUnit version has “Php_Timer” class.

Regards, Nelson Katale

@nelson1995 I honestly don't know. Try running composer du to make sure the autoload file is up to date.

I ran the “composer du” command and everything is updated. Unfortunately the error still persists.

@nelson1995 Well, as I don't see the error, there's not much I can do to help you without you providing more information....
