Change Log ---------- [](#change-log) See [Change Log](https://github.com/kenjis/ci-phpunit-test/blob/master/application/tests/_ci_phpunit_test/ChangeLog.md).

Delete the old test library directory: `rm -rf /path/to/codeigniter/application/tests/_ci_phpunit_test` 2. Edit the `application/tests/Bootstrap.php` file.
