Here is my ProjectTest.php file

class ProjectTest extends CDbTestCase
{

    public $fixtures=array
    (
            'projects'=>'Project',
    );

    public function testCreate()
      {
        //CREATE a new Project
        $newProject=new Project;
        $newProjectName = 'Test Project Creation';
        $newProject->setAttributes(array(
        'name' => $newProjectName,
        'description' => 'This is a test for new project creation',
        'createTime' => '2009-09-09 00:00:00',
        'createUser' => '1',
        'updateTime' => '2009-09-09 00:00:00',
        'updateUser' => '1',
        )
      );
        $this->assertTrue($newProject->save(false));
        //READ back the newly created Project to ensure the creation worked

        $retrievedProject=Project::model()->findByPk($newProject->id);
        $this->assertTrue($retrievedProject instanceof Project);
        $this->assertEquals($newProjectName,$retrievedProject->name);
      }
        public function testRead()
      {
        $retrievedProject = $this->projects('project1');
        $this->assertTrue($retrievedProject instanceof Project);
        $this->assertEquals('Test Project 1',$retrievedProject->name);
      }
        public function testUpdate()
      {
        $project = $this->projects('project2');
        $updatedProjectName = 'Updated Test Project 2';
        $project->name = $updatedProjectName;
        $this->assertTrue($project->save(false));
        //read back the record again to ensure the update worked
        $updatedProject=Project::model()->findByPk($project->id);
        $this->assertTrue($updatedProject instanceof Project);
        $this->assertEquals($updatedProjectName,$updatedProject->name);
      }
        public function testDelete()
      {

        $savedProjectId = $project->id;
        $this->assertTrue($project->delete());
        $deletedProject=Project::model()->findByPk($savedProjectId);
        $this->assertEquals(NULL,$deletedProject);
    }
}

Can anyone help please ?

Answer 1

In your framework directory there should be a dir named test and within it there should be CDbTestCase.php. can you verify this please? if it's missing you've found the problem, else your code cannot reach the framework dir.

Answer 2

check if you bootstrap file in pŕotected/tests is pointing to the right paths and check if the WebTastCase.php file in the same folder is poiting to the right 'TEST_BASE_URL', something like:

define('TEST_BASE_URL','http://localhost/my_app/index-test.php/');

and try to run phpunit from inside the protected/tests folder

Answer 3

I encountered the same problem while using PHPStorm. It works when I run the tests (ctrl+shift+F10) while standing on the directory 'unit', but will not work if I stand on the test file itself.
