cruisecontrol

As part of a University project, my team and I have to set up automated unit testing with CruiseControl.rb. We chose to use CodeIgniter for the project, and are having some problems getting everything working together. Does anyone have experience setting up such a configuration? Some of the unit testing frameworks we've tried are:

PHPUnit
SimpleTest
Toast

...but we've had no success with any of them.
