Not working at all with global PHPUnit about symfonydependencyinjectiontest HOT 4 CLOSED

I found the explanation, this can be closed.
For the record, the phpunit binary starts like this :

foreach (array(__DIR__ . '/../../autoload.php', __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php', __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php') as $file) {
    if (file_exists($file)) {
        define('PHPUNIT_COMPOSER_INSTALL', $file);
        break;
    }
}

When the system's phpunit is used, the autoload file is (in my case) ~/.composer/vendor/phpunit/phpunit/../../autoload.php

This might be a bug in phpunit. It should look in the current working directory first, I think.

@greg0ire I'll keep it open unless a solution is found, thanks.

You should close it, because it has nothing to do with this package. The problem probably arises at the very first step : there is no dot in the output, signalling that a test was successful. I think if you remove this test, it will fail on another test, as soon as php tries to autoload something. Since it has the wrong autoloader, it can't autoload anything that isn't also require globally. It probably won't be able to load any class from the library under test, for instance.

Another reason to close this is that I have filed an issue in the right place

Thanks @greg0ire.
