windows: phpunit via ssh on remote: how ?

Created July 19, 2015 17:09

hi all,

i am not able to make phpunit remote via ssh working.
my setup:

- phpstorm 9 (latest): windows
- linux
- local path: B:\projects\tests\1\ (mounted via samba to widows)
- remote path: /home/project/1/
- setup remote php interpreter
- setup a default deployment server with path mappings (and set as default)

i am not able to follow this tutorial: https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/Running+PHPUnit+tests+over+SSH+on+a+remote+server+with+PhpStorm

when i start my test, is get this:

ssh://root@127.0.0.5:22/usr/bin/php /root/.phpstorm_helpers/phpunit.php --bootstrap /home/project/1/tests/bootstrap.php --no-configuration B:\projects\1\tests

but correct would be

ssh://root@127.0.0.5:22/usr/bin/php vendor/bin/phpunit --bootstrap tests/bootstrap.php --no-configuration tests\

and of course i get this error, because paths are wroing:

bash: Zeile 0: cd: B:/projects/1: No such file or directory

so my main problems:

- how to tell phpstorm, not using .phpstorm_helpers ?
- how to tell phpstorm to use correct path mappings, even i don´t use a deployment server (because folders are mounted via samba into my windows)
- how to use relative paths instead of absolute ? (don´t know if that is a problem)

thanks for any help !

Hi there,

how to tell phpstorm, not using .phpstorm_helpers ?

You cannot do that -- IDE needs it for integration purposes. IDE never calls actual phpunit executable directly -- it instantiates PHPUnit classes and uses them inside helper script.

how to tell phpstorm to use correct path mappings, even i don´t use a deployment server (because folders are mounted via samba into my windows)

Not sure if it's possible -- IDE needs to know how to translate local path to remote, right? Deployment is the one (most reliable) way of providing such info.

how to use relative paths instead of absolute ? (don´t know if that is a problem)

That's not a problem here (as long as IDE can properly translate local path to remote)

Not sure about your particular setup (why it does not work and what exactly needs to be done to make it work) .. but this is what I have been suggesting for users instead (as alternative) and it works:

Create and configure SFTP deployment entry that will work for this project. Not sure if it will actually be used for deployment, but at least path mappings will be taken from here.
Create new Remote PHP Interpreter using this SFTP deployment (not Vagrant/custom SSH details, but this SFTP entry) and use it for this project as PHP Interpreter
Try again

hi,

thanks for your fast feedback !
so inspired by your post, i did the following:

- delete all deployment servers
- delete all phpunit-settings
- create new deployment server
- create new phpunit-config based on remote parameter related to the new deployment server
- changed "Path to phpunit.phar" to "Use custom autoloader" (because i am using composer)

this did the trick.

phpstorm is unable to recognize a phpunit remote config if the deployment server is created AFTER the phpunit config.
i´m afraid, phpstorm seems unable to bind a deploy-server to a phpunit-config, after the phpunit-config has been created ;(
this produced a lot confusen here ;(

so after all, it´s working ;) but for everybody: take care of the order of the setup !
