Project Properties: PHPUnit

In this dialog, set custom PHPUnit properties for your project.

• Use bootstrap. A custom bootstrap file is required for projects that use a custom class loader, for example by implementing the __autoload() magic function. You also use the bootstrap option if you need to include a file in advance, such as a file that defines global constants used by multiple classes in your project.
  • Browse... Browse your file system for the custom bootstrap file.
  • Generate. Click to generate a skeleton bootstrap file.
• Use XML Configuration. The XML configuration file allows you to define options that you use in a command line call. There is a complete introduction in the PHPUnit manual. You can also use the XML configuration file to define php.ini settings and global vars for your test cases. You can set the bootstrap option in the XML configuration file too.
  • Browse... Browse your file system for the custom bootstrap file.
  • Generate. Click to generate a skeleton XML Configuration file.
• Use Custom Test Suite. If you set a custom test suite, you run that suite whenever you select Run >Test Project. This is particularly useful when you wish to run only a subset of your tests, or if you want to use recently added features of PHPUnit that you have to add manually, such as Data Providers.

  Note that you may define as many test suites as you want and run them separately. To run a test suite, right-click the test suite file in your project explorer and choose "run".

  • Generate. Click to generate a skeleton test suite.
