 Congratulations! You've successfully configured your build path.
-We'll configure PHPUnit as an "External Tool" for normal test execution. We don't use a "Run Configuration" here because Eclipse sometimes does not show the full script console output when configured as a "Run Configuration".
+== Configure PHPUnit as Run/Debug Configuration ==
-First select "External Tool Configurations.." from the "Run" menu:
+NB: This documentation has been updated for Eclipse Helios. If you have an older Eclipse version then your screens may look different.
-[[Image:PHPUnit_Eclipse_ExtToolConfig.JPG]]
+We'll configure PHPUnit as a "Run/Debug Configuration" for quick and easy test execution from within Eclipse.
-Go to the "Main" tab and enter your tool data similar to the ones shown in the following picture. Make sure you've got the correct paths for your environment.  Note, if you receive Eclipse errors concerning ${project_loc} referencing an empty selection, there are two possibilities.  The first is to simply re-run the command, making sure that your project is selected on the left in the navigator.  The second is to use ${workspace_loc} instead, which appears to be less buggy:
+First select "Run Configurations..." from the "Run" menu:
-[[Image:PHPUnit_Eclipse_ExtToolConfig_Main.JPG]]
+[[Image:PHPUnit_Eclipse_RunConfig.jpg]]
-Once you've done that, go to the "Common" tab and make the necessary selections as shown below:
+Go to the "PHP Script" tab and enter your configuration similar to the one shown in the following screenshots. Make sure you've got the correct paths for your environment:
-[[Image:PHPUnit_Eclipse_ExtToolConfig_Common.JPG]]
+[[Image:PHPUnit_Eclipse_RunConfig_Main.jpg]]
-If your system does not have the PHP_PEAR_BIN_DIR environment variable defined then you now have to add this variable to the 'Environment' tab. Please enter the directory that contains the phpunit script. A common value on Linux is '/usr/bin'.
+You may have to configure a PHP executable:
-Click "Apply" and "Close" and that's it.
+[[Image:PHPUnit_Eclipse_DebugConfig_PHPexcutables.JPG]]
-== Configure XDebug Debugger to work with PHPUnit ==
+Returning to the "Run Configurations" Wizard you can now configure the "PHP Script Arguments" arguments as so:
-If you have XDebug installed then you can also use the debugger with your tests. This comes in handy if you discover an error in your class while testing. I usually use the debugger more while unit testing than in an integrated environment. If you do good unit testing, integration bugs will appear a lot less frequently than before anyway.
+[[Image:PHPUnit_Eclipse_RunConfig_Args.jpg]]
-First select "Debug Configurations..." from the "Run" menu:
+Once you've done that, go to the "Environment" tab and add an environment variable as shown below:
-[[Image:PHPUnit_Eclipse_DebugConfig.JPG]]
+[[Image:PHPUnit_Eclipse_RunConfig_Env.jpg]]
-Enter your debug configuration data as shown in the image below. Then you'll have to configure your runtime executable if you've not done so before. Click on the "PHP Executables..." link:
+Click "Apply" and "Close" and that's it.
-You'll have to configure your PHP executable as shown here. Please make sure you enter the correct paths for your environment:

-Returning to the Debug Configuration Wizard you can now configure the script arguments as so:

-Finally you switch to the commons tab and make sure that your configuration will appear on the favorites menu. Also make sure you tick the "Allocate Console" checkbox. Otherwise you won't see test output:
-[[Image:PHPUnit_Eclipse_DebugConfig_Common.JPG]]
+The steps described above for adding a "Run Configuration" automatically also added a corresponding "Debug Configuration". If everything is set up correctly then you'll immediately be able to use XDebug to step through your tests.
-You may now return to the [[Unit Tests]] page to write and execute your first test.
+Once you've accomplished the configuration steps on this page you may want to return to the [[Unit Tests]] page to write and execute your first test.
