PHPUnit starts from scratch (1): starting from its installation configuration

It’s a new year again. I was thinking about what to write in 2016. What would be a better start? Then I have been struggling between PHPUnit and design patterns. In the end, I decided to start the new year with PHPUnit.
PHPUnit is also new knowledge for me. When I used Laravel before, I only briefly learned about it and never really practiced it. I always thought that I was going to spend a month studying such a cool thing. As a result... the installation took me half a day, and the rest was nothing.

I would like to add here that my environment is as follows:
xampp (php5.6) + win7

There are pitfalls in the installation, please be careful

Why did it take me half a day to install? Alas, it’s all tears. If I don’t learn my lesson, I’ll find some expired documents and it won’t work. Finally, I found the answer I wanted in the official documentation. The official website has already made it very clear, but I will say it again here, why? Make up the word count! Hehe, of course I won't be so shameless, mainly because xampp has installed phpunit by itself (very old version, so it needs to be reinstalled). I will focus on how to overwrite its own phpunit.

I’m being lazy here and just screenshot the content from the official website.
The following are the key points:
The official website says to configure environment variables here, everyone must be careful. To give my own example, I installed xampp in D:xampp and configured the php location of xampp in the environment variables. So if I configure the newly downloaded phpunit in this directory, when using phpunit, I still use the one that comes with xampp. So remember to configure your newly downloaded phpunit before xampp.
After completing the above operations, please open Command (Win+R) and enter: phpunit –version. If you see the following effect, it means you have completed the installation:

Test's test

Now you need to try our phpunit. I will post the code directly here first, and I will explain why at the beginning of the next article.
For the sake of simplicity here, I wrote the classes that need to be tested and the test cases in a file. Definitely don't do this during use.

/**

 */classTryClass
{publicfunctiongetValue()
    {return1;
    }
}

classTryTestextendsPHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{publicfunctiontestValue()
    {$try = new TryClass();
        $this->assertEquals(1, $try->getValue());
    }
}

Then go to the directory where the file is located and run phpunit:

This picture shows the correct situation. You can try changing the value to other values.
Oh, I also need to mention here that the problem with the PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase class is that after installing phpunit, this class will not exist. You need to install the phpunit libary through composer. The content of the composer.json file is as follows:

{
  "require"     : { },
  "require-dev" : { "phpunit/phpunit": "5.1"}
}

Even if we have completed the phpunit today, it may not be detailed enough, but if you use more hands-on work, it should not be a problem.
I originally wanted to release it on New Year's Day, but since I just changed my job at the end of the year, and when I first arrived at the new company, I had to release a major version, so I worked overtime and finally completed the development task yesterday. Today I take this opportunity to write the beginning of 2016, and then casually talk about my study plan for 2016. I write it here to remind myself not to forget it.

2016 Learning Plan

For my following learning plan, I will adopt a blog-driven approach, that is, to learn a skill, I will complete the blog content of the corresponding skill, firstly, to deepen the learning level, secondly, to encourage everyone, and thirdly. Come... forget it, I won't come. Anyway, I will write it after I learn it. Corrections to incorrect addresses are welcome.

• Plan 1: PHPUnit learning, this plan has started, and I will try to complete all the blog content in February (in fact, all the learning has been completed).
• Plan 2: I have always looked at design patterns before, but only in theory. This time I plan to write about design patterns based on practice and my own understanding. All codes will eventually be put on github, and of course each blog will also have relevant code.
• Plan 3: We need to take a look at the implementation process of laravel. It has always been an application before. This time we plan to go deep into the framework and take a look at the implementation of its framework code.
• Plan 4: Well, learn a new language, GO. Because I have used Qiniu's service, it feels really good, and it is all implemented in GO language, so I plan to learn it myself, which can be regarded as a supplement.

The words have been released. If 2016 is not completed, it will be a slap in the face. Would I let myself be slapped in the face? Who knows! Hahaha

The above introduces PHPUnit from scratch (1): starting from its installation and configuration, including aspects of the content, I hope it will be helpful to friends who are interested in PHP tutorials.
