Description: ------------ I'm trying to execute a test suite through the PHP CLI, however it's reported that my PHP script contains a syntax error; when viewed through a browser, the following fatal error is given: Fatal error: Class 'PHPUnit2_Framework_TestCase' not found in C:\PHP\PEAR\lib\PHPUnit2\Framework\Warning.php on line 37 I found a closed bug very similar to this one (#3402), and I suspect the cause is the same, as the error appears almost identical under the same type of conditions; I'm running PHPUnit2 2.3.0 under PHP 5.0.5 on Windows XP. See below for the source of the PHP script generating this error. Test script: --------------- // all.php <?php require_once('PHPUnit2/Framework/TestCase.php'); require_once('PHPUnit2/Framework/TestSuite.php'); require_once('PHPUnit2/TextUI/TestRunner.php'); require_once('external.php'); $suite = new PHPUnit2_Framework_TestSuite; $suite->addTestSuite('ExternalDataTest'); PHPUnit2_TextUI_TestRunner::run($suite); ?> // external.php <?php require_once('../includes/errors.php'); require_once('../includes/external.php'); class ExtDataTest extends ExternalData { public static function getData($key, &$array, $default, $type) { return parent::getData(key, $array, $default, $type); } } class ExternalDataTest extends PHPUnit2_Framework_TestCase { public static function testGetData() { static $array = array('one' => 'test', 'two' => ' testing ', 'three' => 'true', 'four' => ' 1 ', 'five' => 0, 'six' => array(1, 2, 3), 'seven' => ''); static $default = 'Nothing'; static $data_types = array('one' => 'string', 'two' => 'string', 'three' => 'boolean', 'four' => 'int', 'five' => 'boolean', 'six' => 'array', 'seven' => 'string'); static $expected = array('one' => 'test', 'two' => 'testing', 'three' => true, 'four' => 1, 'five' => false, 'six' => array(1, 2, 3), 'seven' => 'Nothing'); foreach ($array as $key => $value) { $result = ExtDataTest::getData($key, $array, $default, $data_types[$key]); self::assertTrue($result === $expected[$key], "External data for array element: $key\n Expected result: $expected[$key]\n Actual result: $result\n"); } } } ?> Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Class 'PHPUnit2_Framework_TestCase' not found in C:\PHP\PEAR\lib\PHPUnit2\Framework\Warning.php on line 37 Call Stack # Function Location 1 {main}() c:\Apache\htdocs\all.php:0 2 require_once() c:\Apache\htdocs\all.php:2 3 require_once() C:\PHP\PEAR\lib\PHPUnit2\Framework\TestCase.php:26 4 require_once() C:\PHP\PEAR\lib\PHPUnit2\Framework\TestResult.php:25 5 require_once() C:\PHP\PEAR\lib\PHPUnit2\Framework\TestListener.php:24 6 require_once() C:\PHP\PEAR\lib\PHPUnit2\Framework\TestSuite.php:26

Yes. I'm having the same fatal error. I found a circular dependency of require_once's, and in the class TestCase is caught chasing its tail. I believe this was the problem in #3402. See below for the dependencies. Note that Test...is short for PHPUnit2_Framework_Test... and Warning is actually PHPUNit2_Framework_Warning. TestCase-TestResult-TestListener-TestSuite-Warning-TestCase The require_once's are circular in the other versions as well (e.g. v2.2.0 and v2.1.5), but appearantly, the class PHPUnit2_Framework_TestCase is not being circularly referenced. I'm running Entropy's distribution of PHP-5.0.4-1 on MacOSX 10.4.2

I added a workaround for this and released PHPUnit 2.3.1. This issue will be properly fixed in PHPUnit 2.4, which will use the SPL Autoloader of PHP 5.1.0 to resolve the circular dependencies.
