Eclipse and PHPUnit: "The import PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase cannot be resolved"

Question

I'm starting with PHPUnit, and it works fine so far. I just got one problem: Eclipse (Oxygen.3) is telling me in this line:

use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;

"The import PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase cannot be resolved"

I went to Window -> Preferences -> PHP -> Tools -> PHPUnit and added the path to my phpunit.phar. But this didn't help.

I went to Window -> Preferences -> PHP -> Source Paths -> Libraries and tried to import my phpunit.phar. But this results in an error "The selected file is not a valid user library data file".

Any other ideas how to get rid of this error?

I was having the same problem and this solution worked for me:

Going into Project > Properties
Under PHP > Include Path, pick the "Libraries" tab.
On "Add External PHARs..." select the PHPUnit framework file on your system (phpunit.phar).

In my case I was not able to Add External PHARs... as it ends up with error Build path entry is invalid: org.ecl...nt/C:/xampp/php/phpunit-11.0.3.phar.

What worked was to Add External Source Folder with the PHPUnit source code in /xampp/php/pear/PHPUnit folder.

Steps to create the external folder with PHPUnit:

download the ZIP from PHPUnit Github repository
Extract that .zip to folder into my PEAR/PHPUnit folder
- folder will contain schema/ src/ etc.
In Eclipse go to Project > Properties
PHP > Source Paths > Include Path > Libraries tab
[Add External Source Folder...] browse to the PHPUnit folder created earlier
[Apply and Close]

After project refresh F5 the PHPUnit methods were available.
