I'm struggling with setting up environment for old tech project with PHP5. My OS is Windows and I have installed so far VSCode plugins: PHP Debug, PHP Intelephense, PHPUnit, PHPUnit Test Explorer. I downloaded phpunit-5.7.27.phar and configured VSCode according to documentation.
Settings.json
{
"php.validate.executablePath": "C:/wamp64/bin/php/php5.6.40/php.exe",
"phpunit.phpunit": "C:/wamp64/bin/php/php5.6.40/phpunit-5.7.27.phar",
"phpunit.php": "C:/wamp64/bin/php/php5.6.40/php.exe",
"intelephense.environment.phpVersion": "5.6.40",
"intelephense.environment.includePaths": [
"C:/wamp64/bin/php/php5.6.40/phpunit-5.7.27.phar",
"C:/wamp64/bin/php/php5.6.40/php.exe",
"C:/wamp64/bin/php/php5.6.40/"
]
}
Launch.json
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Listen for XDebug",
"type": "php",
"request": "launch",
"port": 9000,
"xdebugSettings": {
"max_children": 256,
"max_data": 500,
"max_depth": 3
}
},
]
}
What works for me fine is breakpointing on running app with xdebug and running unittests with Cmd+Shift+P.
What I need help with are as follows:
Code editor shows error for PHP unit classes and methods (even though unittests are executing fine as is). Do I need to add to path something besides phar file? Is VSCode non-compatible with phar files? The same happens for PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase.
I can't figure out how to configure Test Explorer plugin to show nicely tests tree. Does it require some configuration in Launch.json? Launching tests with Cmd+Shift+P displays results only in terminal.

PHP Intelephense requires installed PHPUnit with composer in workspace.
composer require --dev phpunit/phpunit
PHPUnit Test Explorer has by default Phpunit: Files setting set to {test,tests}/**/*Test.php, so changing it to proper glob should allow plugin to detect all tests.
