The XML Configuration File

PHPUnit

The attributes of the <phpunit> element can be used to configure PHPUnit's core functionality.

<phpunit
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://schema.phpunit.de/4.5/phpunit.xsd"
         backupGlobals="true"
         backupStaticAttributes="false"
         <!--bootstrap="/path/to/bootstrap.php"-->
         cacheTokens="false"
         colors="false"
         convertErrorsToExceptions="true"
         convertNoticesToExceptions="true"
         convertWarningsToExceptions="true"
         forceCoversAnnotation="false"
         mapTestClassNameToCoveredClassName="false"
         printerClass="PHPUnit_TextUI_ResultPrinter"
         <!--printerFile="/path/to/ResultPrinter.php"-->
         processIsolation="false"
         stopOnError="false"
         stopOnFailure="false"
         stopOnIncomplete="false"
         stopOnSkipped="false"
         stopOnRisky="false"
         testSuiteLoaderClass="PHPUnit_Runner_StandardTestSuiteLoader"
         <!--testSuiteLoaderFile="/path/to/StandardTestSuiteLoader.php"-->

         timeoutForMediumTests="10"
         timeoutForLargeTests="60"
         verbose="false">
  <!-- ... -->
</phpunit>

The XML configuration above corresponds to the default behaviour of the TextUI test runner documented in the section called “Command-Line Options”.

Additional options that are not available as command-line options are:

convertErrorsToExceptions

By default, PHPUnit will install an error handler that converts the following errors to exceptions:

E_WARNING
E_NOTICE
E_USER_ERROR
E_USER_WARNING
E_USER_NOTICE
E_STRICT
E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR
E_DEPRECATED
E_USER_DEPRECATED

Set convertErrorsToExceptions to false to disable this feature.

convertNoticesToExceptions

When set to false, the error handler installed by convertErrorsToExceptions will not convert E_NOTICE, E_USER_NOTICE, or E_STRICT errors to exceptions.

convertWarningsToExceptions

When set to false, the error handler installed by convertErrorsToExceptions will not convert E_WARNING or E_USER_WARNING errors to exceptions.

forceCoversAnnotation

Code Coverage will only be recorded for tests that use the @covers annotation documented in the section called “@covers”.

timeoutForLargeTests

If time limits based on test size are enforced then this attribute sets the timeout for all tests marked as @large. If a test does not complete within its configured timeout, it will fail.

timeoutForMediumTests

If time limits based on test size are enforced then this attribute sets the timeout for all tests marked as @medium. If a test does not complete within its configured timeout, it will fail.

timeoutForSmallTests

If time limits based on test size are enforced then this attribute sets the timeout for all tests not marked as @medium or @large. If a test does not complete within its configured timeout, it will fail.

Test Suites

The <testsuites> element and its one or more <testsuite> children can be used to compose a test suite out of test suites and test cases.

<testsuites>
  <testsuite name="My Test Suite">
    <directory>/path/to/*Test.php files</directory>
    <file>/path/to/MyTest.php</file>
    <exclude>/path/to/exclude</exclude>
  </testsuite>
</testsuites>

Using the phpVersion and phpVersionOperator attributes, a required PHP version can be specified. The example below will only add the /path/to/*Test.php files and /path/to/MyTest.php file if the PHP version is at least 5.3.0.

<testsuites>
  <testsuite name="My Test Suite">
    <directory suffix="Test.php" phpVersion="5.3.0" phpVersionOperator=">=">/path/to/files</directory>
    <file phpVersion="5.3.0" phpVersionOperator=">=">/path/to/MyTest.php</file>
  </testsuite>
</testsuites>

The phpVersionOperator attribute is optional and defaults to >=.

Groups

The <groups> element and its <include>, <exclude>, and <group> children can be used to select groups of tests marked with the @group annotation (documented in the section called “@group”) that should (not) be run.

<groups>
  <include>
    <group>name</group>
  </include>
  <exclude>
    <group>name</group>
  </exclude>
</groups>

The XML configuration above corresponds to invoking the TextUI test runner with the following options:

1
--group name
1
--exclude-group name

Whitelisting Files for Code Coverage

The <filter> element and its children can be used to configure the whitelist for the code coverage reporting.

<filter>
  <whitelist processUncoveredFilesFromWhitelist="true">
    <directory suffix=".php">/path/to/files</directory>
    <file>/path/to/file</file>
    <exclude>
      <directory suffix=".php">/path/to/files</directory>
      <file>/path/to/file</file>
    </exclude>
  </whitelist>
</filter>

Logging

The <logging> element and its <log> children can be used to configure the logging of the test execution.

<logging>
  <log type="coverage-html" target="/tmp/report" lowUpperBound="35"
       highLowerBound="70"/>
  <log type="coverage-clover" target="/tmp/coverage.xml"/>
  <log type="coverage-php" target="/tmp/coverage.serialized"/>
  <log type="coverage-text" target="php://stdout" showUncoveredFiles="false"/>
  <log type="json" target="/tmp/logfile.json"/>
  <log type="tap" target="/tmp/logfile.tap"/>
  <log type="junit" target="/tmp/logfile.xml" logIncompleteSkipped="false"/>
  <log type="testdox-html" target="/tmp/testdox.html"/>
  <log type="testdox-text" target="/tmp/testdox.txt"/>
</logging>

The XML configuration above corresponds to invoking the TextUI test runner with the following options:

1
--coverage-html /tmp/report
1
--coverage-clover /tmp/coverage.xml
1
--coverage-php /tmp/coverage.serialized
1
--coverage-text
1
--log-json /tmp/logfile.json
1
> /tmp/logfile.txt
1
--log-tap /tmp/logfile.tap
1
--log-junit /tmp/logfile.xml
1
--testdox-html /tmp/testdox.html
1
--testdox-text /tmp/testdox.txt

The lowUpperBound, highLowerBound, logIncompleteSkipped and showUncoveredFiles attributes have no equivalent TextUI test runner option.

lowUpperBound: Maximum coverage percentage to be considered "lowly" covered.
highLowerBound: Minimum coverage percentage to be considered "highly" covered.
showUncoveredFiles: Show all whitelisted files in --coverage-text output not just the ones with coverage information.
showOnlySummary: Show only the summary in --coverage-text output.

Test Listeners

The <listeners> element and its <listener> children can be used to attach additional test listeners to the test execution.

<listeners>
  <listener class="MyListener" file="/optional/path/to/MyListener.php">
    <arguments>
      <array>
        <element key="0">
          <string>Sebastian</string>
        </element>
      </array>
      <integer>22</integer>
      <string>April</string>
      <double>19.78</double>
      <null/>
      <object class="stdClass"/>
    </arguments>
  </listener>
</listeners>

The XML configuration above corresponds to attaching the $listener object (see below) to the test execution:

$listener = new MyListener(
    ['Sebastian'],
    22,
    'April',
    19.78,
    null,
    new stdClass
);

Setting PHP INI settings, Constants and Global Variables

The <php> element and its children can be used to configure PHP settings, constants, and global variables. It can also be used to prepend the include_path.

<php>
  <includePath>.</includePath>
  <ini name="foo" value="bar"/>
  <const name="foo" value="bar"/>
  <var name="foo" value="bar"/>
  <env name="foo" value="bar"/>
  <post name="foo" value="bar"/>
  <get name="foo" value="bar"/>
  <cookie name="foo" value="bar"/>
  <server name="foo" value="bar"/>
  <files name="foo" value="bar"/>
  <request name="foo" value="bar"/>
</php>

The XML configuration above corresponds to the following PHP code:

ini_set('foo', 'bar');
define('foo', 'bar');
$GLOBALS['foo'] = 'bar';
$_ENV['foo'] = 'bar';
$_POST['foo'] = 'bar';
$_GET['foo'] = 'bar';
$_COOKIE['foo'] = 'bar';
$_SERVER['foo'] = 'bar';
$_FILES['foo'] = 'bar';
$_REQUEST['foo'] = 'bar';
