Question

PHP unit is skipping all of its tests when running. I am running a development environment. Here is my environment:

• Windows 7 Pro 64bit
• Apache 2.4
• PHP 5.4.4
• PHPUnit 3.7.0
• Selenium 1.2.8
• Yii 1.1.10

Everytime I run the functional (or any tests) for Yii, I get the following output.

C:\xampp\htdocs\mm\protected\tests>phpunit --verbose functional
PHPUnit 3.7.0 by Sebastian Bergmann.

Configuration read from C:\xampp\htdocs\mm\protected\tests\phpunit.xml

SSSSSS

Time: 12 seconds, Memory: 3.50Mb

There were 6 skipped tests:

1) SiteTest::testIndex
Could not connect to the Selenium Server on localhost:4444.

C:\xampp\php\phpunit:46

2) SiteTest::testContact
Could not connect to the Selenium Server on localhost:4444.

C:\xampp\php\phpunit:46

3) SiteTest::testLoginLogout
Could not connect to the Selenium Server on localhost:4444.

C:\xampp\php\phpunit:46

4) SiteTest::testIndex
Could not connect to the Selenium Server on localhost:4444.

C:\xampp\php\phpunit:46

5) SiteTest::testContact
Could not connect to the Selenium Server on localhost:4444.

C:\xampp\php\phpunit:46

6) SiteTest::testLoginLogout
Could not connect to the Selenium Server on localhost:4444.

C:\xampp\php\phpunit:46
OK, but incomplete or skipped tests!
Tests: 6, Assertions: 0, Skipped: 6.

C:\xampp\htdocs\mm\protected\tests>

Note: Never received the could not connect to Selenium server before and didn't change a thing. Still posting this question and investigating.

Thanks for your help!

RTM. There is a chapter named Functional Testing in the official Yii guide. It begins with:

Before reading this section, it is recommended that you read the Selenium documentation.

The chapter ends with the following note, with a big mark in the left margin:

Tip: Before running functional tests, the Selenium-RC server must be started. This can be done by executing the command java -jar selenium-server.jar under your Selenium server installation directory.
