I know this has been asked a couple times in the past, but none of those solutions worked for me. I am following along with the yii book and am currently trying to run the first PHPUnit test. But whenever I try to run the test it says “Fatal error: Class ‘CTestCase’ not found”. I just upgraded to the latest version of xdebug yesterday and then installed PHPUnit. I also checked the bootstrap file to make sure $yiit and $config were pointed to the right location. Does anybody have any ideas about how to get this working? I’m running on windows vista.
hello.
try to make sure u have phpunit 3.14 then make sure you include the php path in the enviromental variables of your system path. if that doesnt work
try to follow a step step procedure in the phpunit installation guide
cheer!!!
Jasdo,
I am following along in the Yii book and running on Mac OS X 10.6 and had the same error message.
After I ensuring that my bootstrap.php file pointed to the right places (it did), I found that I was doing a very simple mistake of running the command:
$ php unit/MessageTest.php
when I should have been running
$ phpunit unit/MessageTest.php
Thank you binkabir and jmb. It turns out I had been forgetting to provide the path to phpunit.
you are welcome once again to the YII family!!! 
I’m using the version yii-1.1.3.r2247
I have the same problem with CTestCase.
