If you’re trying to run PHPUnit from the terminal in Mac OSX Lion, you may get an error similar to the following.

File/Iterator/Autoload.php failed to open stream

You can resolve this by running the following commands.

curl http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar > go-pear.php
sudo php -q go-pear.php

PHPUnit should now run without errors (or at least, without errors in their code 😉 ).

If you have recently upgraded to Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) you may find that PHPUnit and other PEAR packages no longer work. You may get errors similar to the following.

PHP Copy & Paste Detector

Warning: require(PHPCPD/Autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Users/chris/pear/bin/phpcpd on line 49

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'PHPCPD/Autoload.php' (include_path='.:') in /Users/chris/pear/bin/phpcpd on line 49

PHP Mess Detector

Warning: require_once(PHP/PMD/TextUI/Command.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Users/chris/pear/bin/phpmd on line 38

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'PHP/PMD/TextUI/Command.php' (include_path='.:') in /Users/chris/pear/bin/phpmd on line 38

Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to fix them, other then by reinstalling each package.

sudo pear install --force --alldeps phpunit/phpunit
sudo pear install --force --alldeps phpmd/PHP_PMD

The tools should then run as expected.
