setting xdebug.coverage_enable=On on command line for PHPunit

I don't want to turn on xdebug code coverage for all scripts but I do want to be able to turn it on for a daily jenkins build which produces the code coverage.

I tried the following

phpunit -d xdebug.coverage_enable=1 -c phpunit-coverage.xml.dist

However I always get the following error

Configuration read from phpunit-coverage.xml.dist


Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PHP_CodeCoverage_Exception' with message 'You need to set xdebug.coverage_enable=On in your php.ini.' in /usr/local/lib/php/PHP/CodeCoverage/Driver/Xdebug.php on line 72

Any ideas as to how I can get this to work, without having to change php.ini each time?

Yes it can, but you have to pass the command-line .ini args to php first:

php -d xdebug.mode=coverage bin/phpunit --coverage-clover='reports/coverage/coverage.xml' --coverage-html='reports/coverage'

Note: "..Xdebug: [Config] The setting 'xdebug.coverage_enable' has been renamed,.."

With php 7.4 and phpunit 9, it's possible set options with env

XDEBUG_MODE=coverage /usr/bin/phpunit

Using php 7.4 I has to use -d xdebug.mode=coverage

Because I use php -n my full line was -d zend_extension=xdebug.so -d xdebug.mode=coverage

In the end I discovered you cannot do what I originially wanted.

Instead the answer is to add second php.ini file which has xdebug and coverage enabled. Then in my build.xml I used the following to run it.

php -c /usr/local/lib/php-coverage.ini /usr/bin/phpunit -c app/
