can't install PHPUnit through pear

Question

the install instructions for phpunit are running this:

pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
pear install phpunit/PHPUnit

the first one goes okay , on the second I get an error:

phpunit/PHPUnit requires PEAR Installer (version >= 1.8.1), installed version is 1.7.2
phpunit/PHPUnit can optionally use package "pear/Image_GraphViz" (version >= 1.2.1)
phpunit/PHPUnit can optionally use package "pear/Log"
phpunit/PHPUnit can optionally use PHP extension "xdebug" (version >= 2.0.5)
No valid packages found
install failed

I just installed pear using both the latest go-pear.phar version from php.net(php 5.3.0) also tried running php go-pear.php as pear website says.

running pear -V gives me version 1.7.2 , when I run pear upgrade PEAR it says my version is newer than the current noe which is 1.9.0, if ran pear upgrade -f PEAR to force an upgrade, it downloads the files and installs successfully but I still have version 1.7.2 and cannot install phpunit.

I am running windows vista, php 5.3.0

Answer 1

thx to 'cweiske' at irc.efnet.nl #pear I removed my pear folder which resided in: C:\Program Files\Zend\ZendServer\bin

set php include_path to C:\Program Files\Zend\ZendServer\bin\pear

got go-pear.php from http://pear.php.net/go-pear

(save file as go-pear.php , I saved to C:\Program Files\Zend\ZendServer\bin) run 'php go-pear.php' set PHP Code dir to same as include_path:C:\Program Files\Zend\ZendServer\bin\pear

and everything works :) I am running 1.9.0

You'll probably find your answer there.

Answer 4

If you have problems with the upgrade or the install process, You can use

peardev upgrade PEAR peardev channel-discover pear.phpunit.de peardev install phpunit/PHPUnit

It worked for me , I have Windows 7 64x + Wamp
