Hello Fredrick,

Just to complement Andriy's explanation. When you execute PHPUnit tests or generate PHPUnit test class, PhpStorm runs a script with PHP executable taken from File | Settings | PHP | Php home setting, so you need PHPUnit installation to be added to include_path.

Actually, there's no need to add PHPUnit installation as a Content root to get it's classes resolved. Instead, once you configured include_path correctly you open File | Settings | PHP page and click 'Update include paths' button.

Anyway, the confusion you found should be fixed: http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/WI-3035.

Regards,

Kirill

PS Thanks, Andriy!

Dimitrious,

Thanks for sharing!

Okay, so to be fair I feel I must admit that the fault was all mine.  I did not have PHPUnit installed.  I was using the pear.phpunit.de channel, but was not paying close attention.  It was informing me that PHPUnit was dependent upon xml_rpc2, which I later found to be dependent upon the curl extension.

The following steps got me where I needed to be, plus those explained earlier in this post.

1. Enable the curl extension

2. pear install --alldeps pear/XML_RPC2

3. pear install --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit

FYI

      -This is a WAMP server.

      -phpunit/PHPUnit is from the channel pear.phpunit.de NOT pear.phpunit.net

Hope this helps someone else.
