Installing PHPUnit with MAMP and Eclipse

Had a case the other day to install PHPUnit for Eclipse. Googled it a bit, but found no good examples.

Anyway here is how you do it:

1. Go to this address http://pear.phpunit.de/get/
2. There, you can download the latest version of PHPUnit. For me it was PHPUnit-3.3.9.tgz
3. Extract then the folder structure will look something like this:
   
4. Place PHPUnit folder and pear-phpunit file: / Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/lib/php /
5. Open pear-phpunit in your favorite editor and replace all @ @ php_bin with / Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/php
6. Then open the PHPUnit / Util / Fileloader.php to replace @ @ with php_bin / Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/php
7. Then go into eclipse to open the External Tools Configuration
   
8. Create a new configuration that looks like this:
   
9. Finally you must edit the php.ini file located in / Applications/MAMP/conf/php5
10. include_path must contain the path to your project in eclipse, for example:
11. include_path = ".: / Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/lib/php: / Users / Geir / Documents / Development / Project PHP / src / main / php"
12. Go into eclipse, click once in the window with the tests and run the External Tools config you made

Good luck!
