PHP Fatal error: Class 'PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase' not found with PHPUnit 6 and PHP 7.0

Question

I am playing with php 7 and phpunit 6. Here is the test I wrote:

<?php declare(strict_types=1);

namespace Test;

use DesignPatterns\Observer\User;
use DesignPatterns\Observer\UserObserver;
use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;

class ObserverTest extends TestCase
{
    public function testChangeInUserLeadsToUserObserverBeingNotified()
    {
        $observer = new UserObserver();

        $user = new User();
        $user->attach($observer);

        $user->changeEmail('[email protected]');
        $this->assertCount(1, $observer->getChangedUsers());
    }
}

When I tried to run this test, I got the following error message:

PHP Fatal error:  Class 'PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase' not found in /home/.../.../Test/ObserverTest.php on line 9

I installed PHPUnit with composer, here is my composer.json file content:

{
    "require": {
        "phpunit/phpunit": "^6.0"
    },
    "autoload": {
        "psr-4": {"DesignPatterns\\": "src/"}
    }
}

According to PHPUnit 6 documentation, your tests are now supposed to extends PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase instead of PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase.

I know it's not an issue with autoloading. Actually, if I replace PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase with PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase, it works just fine, but I was wondering why this syntax didn't works.

I tried some research on google, stackoverflow and PHPUnit's github repository, but couldn't find anything.

I am looking forward for your answers,

This is how my files are organized:

├── Observer

│   └── User.php

├── DataMapperTest.php
└── ObserverTest.php

Answer 1

I found the answer:

I was excuting my test with this command line:

phpunit Test/ObserverTest.php

PHPUnit is installed globally on my computer, but it's the 5.1.3 version:

phpunit -v

PHPUnit 5.1.3 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

Runtime:       PHP 7.0.13-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 with Xdebug 2.4.0
Configuration: /home/.../.../DesignPatterns/phpunit.xml

And the syntax PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase only works with PHPUnit 6

Now, if I run php vendor/bin/phpunit Test/ObserverTest.php, it works perfectly...
