Edit your phpunit.xml,
replace testSuiteLoaderClass="PHPUnit_Runner_StandardTestSuiteLoader"
with testSuiteLoaderFile="phpunit/src/Runner/StandardTestSuiteLoader.php"

can someone explain why we need to make this change? the phpunit manual doesn't say anything about this

@wontonst sorry for the inconvenience. I'll look into this shortly and adjust the documentation if necessary.

This doesn't seem to fix the issue when using via a composer install.

Note the following output:

./bin/phpunit --configuration unit.xml
PHPUnit 4.1.3-7-gf106c8d by Sebastian Bergmann.

Could not use "vendor/phpunit/phpunit/src/Runner/StandardTestSuiteLoader.php" as loader.

When unit.xml is as follows:

<phpunit
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://schema.phpunit.de/4.1/phpunit.xsd"
        backupGlobals="true"
        backupStaticAttributes="false"
        bootstrap="tests/bootstrap.php"

        colors="false"
        convertErrorsToExceptions="true"

        timeoutForSmallTests="1"
        timeoutForMediumTests="10"
        timeoutForLargeTests="60"
        strict="false"
        verbose="false">
    <testsuites>
        <testsuite name="Default">
            <directory>tests/*Test.php files</directory>
            <exclude>tests/bootstrap.php</exclude>
        </testsuite>
    </testsuites>
</phpunit>

Also tried to use the path of phpunit/src/Runner/StandardTestSuiteLoader.php as suggested by earlier comments only to get the same result.

change testSuiteLoaderClass to testSuiteLoaderFile. I just had that happen to me too.

@programmerq

I actually got it to work by just completely deleting that line.

This should be fixed in the next release. Thanks for your patience!
