Drop PHPUnit 4/5 fallback

[Zeromax]

Is it possible to drop the phpunit4 fallback?

if (!class_exists('\PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase')) {
    class_alias('\PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase', '\PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase');
}

I think there is no reason to keep this. PHPUnit 4 and 5 are no longer supported. see https://phpunit.de/

It would improve the auto completion for phpstorm a lot ;)

Hi.

I also hate this fallback for PHPUnit, but since we support PHP5.6 I have to maintain this fallback OR drop the support for PHP 5.6 also;

Unfortunately I cannot drop the support for PHP 5.6 at this moment, but I am open for discuss alternatives to solve this problem. If you have some idea will be welcome.

Major Version	PHP Compatibility	Initial Release	Support
PHPUnit 8	PHP 7.2, PHP 7.3, PHP 7.4	February 1, 2019	Support ends on February 5, 2021
PHPUnit 7	PHP 7.1, PHP 7.2, PHP 7.3	February 2, 2018	Support ends on February 7, 2020
PHPUnit 6	PHP 7.0, PHP 7.1, PHP 7.2	February 3, 2017	Support ends on February 1, 2019
PHPUnit 5	PHP 5.6, PHP 7.0, PHP 7.1	October 2, 2015	Support ended on February 2, 2018

Hi,

thanks for your answer. Ok, I get your point.
maybe it is possible to drop phpunit 4 only and increase to phpunit 5.4.

Cause this is the version when they introduced the \PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase class.
https://phpunit.de/manual/5.4/en/writing-tests-for-phpunit.html

less then 5.4 needs this fallback:
https://phpunit.de/manual/5.3/en/writing-tests-for-phpunit.html

Is this a possibility? So we can keep php 5.6 and remove the fallback.

Yeah, I see PHPUnit 5.* offers support to PHP 5.6, 7.0 and 7.1. The support for PHPUnit 5.3, 5.4 is no longer necessary.

I created a branch issue-13 for that.

Perfect. Thank you.
