Answers.Text: So what about at the top of my phpunit bootstrap file before I call craft's bootstrap file? 
  
  Just literally define a PHP constant? Like `define("CRAFT_ENVIRONMENT", "dev")` ??

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-05-16)
  
  I'm trying to run some commands on a Jenkins server to have PHPUnit execute the tests and report the results.
  
  When I do `require_once 'craft/app/bootstrap.php';` It is giving an error saying: `PHP Notice: Undefined index: SERVER_NAME in craft/app/bootstrap.php on line 105`
  
  I read that you cannot use bootstrap.php in the craft/app folder because you're essentially trying to bootstrap a webapp (and this server isn't a webserver). It was suggested that I use `craft/etc/console/yiic.php` as my bootstrap file for PHPUnit. However, this is throwing errors about CDbConnection and is unable to connect.
  
  Is there any way to bootstrap Craft from a command line to run PHPUnit? I'm unable to get it working without an apache server.

  Not sure where you read that, but that doesn't sound right.
  
  I'm assuming you've got a multi-environment config setup? If so, then manually set the [`CRAFT_ENVIRONMENT`](https://craftcms.com/docs/php-constants#craft-environment) PHP constant before you load the Craft `bootstrap.php` file to the environment you want Craft to load in the config files.
  
  That will get rid of the `Undefined index: SERVER_NAME` error you're getting as well as should fixed your database connection issue.

  Maybe an edge case, but if you're using the Kint logging/dumping extension for Craft in your console command, be careful. I got the undefined index SERVER\_NAME error trying to to save an entry and output success/fail:
  
  ```
  d(craft()->entries->saveEntry($entryModel)); --> SERVER_NAME index error
  
  ```
  
  This fixed it:
  
  ```
  $save_result = craft()->entries->SaveEntry($entryModel);
  d($save_result);
  
  ```
  
  Hope that saved someone a few minutes.
