phpunit xdebug reporting

Question

Hi there.

I am trying to produce an html report of some tests using PHPUnit, Selenium and Xdebug. I run the test like so:

phpunit --coverage-html ./report blah.php

But the report generated is somewhat lacking in information and it doesn't seem to coincide with the official documentation here.

I just get a green bar with "100.00% | 0/0" as the value for the 'Lines' column. I thought perhaps this was normal but I altered my test script to fail deliberately and the report is the same. I would've assumed it would at least tell me that it failed.

Any ideas why this is happening?

PS: I am using PHPUnit 3.4.8, Xdebug 2.0.5.

@peter-lindqvist: Output of script:

Generating code coverage report, this may take a moment.

Answer 2

Code coverage reports tell you the lines of code that your tests covered, independently of whether they failed or not. It is not the same as reporting the tests results.
