My book tell to add PHPUnit path to Global Include Path in Netbeans, but its use out of date PEAR way.

I installed PHPUnit using composer global require "phpunit/phpunit xxx". I run this command right in c:\

I got main PHPunit directory in: C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\phpunit

and two files in: C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin

It depends, on how much code-completion support you want.

  • If you want the code-completion to work for all globally installed Composer packages, then the path would be

    C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor

    When you set this "Include Path" Netbeans will automatically scan the whole vendor folder and provide completion support for all classes of all packages. Scanning might take a while...

  • If you want completion support only for PHPUnit, then adding

    C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\phpunit

    is sufficent. Only the content of the phpunit folder will be scanned.

    (I use the first approach, because PHPUnit has several other dependencies/packages (e.g. phpunit-selenium) and its nice to have support for these classes, too.)

  • The bin folder should contain a batch file: phpunit.bat. This script might be used in the testing/ phpunit configuration as the "PHPUnit Script". When you invoke testing, this script will be used to start the Composer installed PHPUnit (, instead of the PEAR one).
