PHPUnit Fatal error: require() when running test

Question

I'm new at PHPUnit and I'm having a problem when running the test. I noticed that the problem was that I was not including the class I supposed to test so I put the following line:

require '../../files/Cliente.php';

But then it gaves me the next error:

PHP Warning:  require(../../files/Cliente.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/esperanza/Escritorio/clasificadosj-clasificados-7da0b31e6060/pruebas/files/ClienteTest.php on line 6

PHP Fatal error:  require(): Failed opening required '../../files/Cliente.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /home/esperanza/Escritorio/clasificadosj-clasificados-7da0b31e6060/pruebas/files/ClienteTest.php on line 6

My directory structure is the next:

Project
    |_files
      |_Cliente.php
    |_Test
      |_ClienteTest.php

I don't know if I have to configure a XML document or a bootstrap first.

Thanks a lot!

try require '../files/Cliente.php';

The problem is that you require a file that does not exists. As require will give a fatal error when a file is not found, you get that fatal error. Compare with: Difference between "include" and "require" in php.

Check the path to the file you want to require and correct it:

require __DIR__ . '/../files/Cliente.php';

Make use of the __DIR__ magic constant so that it's easy to specify in a relative fashion to the php-file of the testcase you write while the path is absolute. You then prevent to use the include_path configuration directive which makes it easier to trouble-shoot.

Thanks a lot! But what are the bootstrap and the configure XML for?

If it works it works. If it works then you don't need to configure an xml file or bootstrap.

Where do you see an URL?

@SebastiánUlloa: The bootstrap is normally to require all your classes for the testsuite (or an autoloader). As you do it manually you technically don't need a bootstrap but it's perhaps worth to look into it and establish an autoloader: php.net/language.oop5.autoload
