PHPUnit PHAR: Download and Run Tests

This guide shows how to run project tests with a fixed PHP binary:

  • PHP binary: /home/xc_vm/bin/php/bin/php
  • PHPUnit binary: local tools/.bin/phpunit.phar

Why this setup

phpunit.phar does not include PHP. It always runs through a PHP interpreter.

If you run ./phpunit.phar directly, it may use another php from PATH. Use the explicit binary path to keep runtime consistent.

1. Check PHP

/home/xc_vm/bin/php/bin/php -v

2. Download PHPUnit PHAR

This project is pinned to PHP 8.1, so use PHPUnit 10.

cd /home/xc_vm
mkdir -p tools/.bin
wget -O tools/.bin/phpunit.phar https://phar.phpunit.de/phpunit-10.phar
chmod +x tools/.bin/phpunit.phar

3. Verify PHPUnit

/home/xc_vm/bin/php/bin/php tools/.bin/phpunit.phar --version

4. Run all tests

Project config file:

  • tests/phpunit.xml.dist

Run:

/home/xc_vm/bin/php/bin/php tools/.bin/phpunit.phar -c tests/phpunit.xml.dist

5. Run a single test file

/home/xc_vm/bin/php/bin/php tools/.bin/phpunit.phar -c tests/phpunit.xml.dist tests/Unit/GitHubReleasesTest.php

6. Show which test is running now

Use debug mode to print the currently executing test:

/home/xc_vm/bin/php/bin/php tools/.bin/phpunit.phar -c tests/phpunit.xml.dist --debug --no-progress

7. Optional: Coverage output

If xdebug or pcov is installed:

XDEBUG_MODE=coverage /home/xc_vm/bin/php/bin/php tools/.bin/phpunit.phar -c tests/phpunit.xml.dist --coverage-text

Security note

Do not commit phpunit.phar into the repository. Keep it local (tools/.bin) and update independently.
