Getting phpunit to work with MAMP

In order to run my unit tests, I needed to get phpunit running with MAMP. Thanks to the helpful post of Mark Kirby on this, I figured it out.

1. cd into your PEAR installation directory
2. Make backup of phpunit file in bin folder
3. Edit the original file, replace #!/usr/bin/php with #!/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/php
4. 3. Also remove this:

   
   if (strpos('/usr/bin/php', '@php_bin') === 0) {
       set_include_path(dirname(__FILE__) . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());
   }
   

5. And finally, something that Mark didn't mention, add PEAR include path into /Applications/MAMP/conf/php5/php.ini
