Without it phpunit bails out on some coverage reports with stack traces like this: Generating report, this may take a moment. Fatal error: Call to undefined function token_get_all() in /usr/share/php5/PHPUnit/Util/Report/Coverage/Node/File.php on line 377 Call Stack: 0.0003 125104 1. {main}() /usr/bin/phpunit:0 0.0035 309984 2. require('/usr/share/php5/PHPUnit/TextUI/Command.php') /usr/bin/phpunit:44 0.1115 5144360 3.

With tokenizer extension installed (USE="tokenizer") it works fine.

Fixed in CVS, thankies :)
On that note, you should file a bug upstream, since tokenizer is marked as optional extension in package.xml (even w/ latest 3.1.7 version). required - dom, pcre, reflection, spl optional - json, pdo, pdo_mysql, pdo_sqlite, tokenizer, xdebug http://www.phpunit.de/report
It is optional, in the meaning that you can run unit tests without tokenizer. You just can't generate coverage reports without it. I don't know if they won't reject such a bug report then.
