Global PHPunit no tests executed

Question

I have following phpunit.xml file:

<phpunit bootstrap="Bootstrap.php" backupGlobals="false">
    <testsuites>
        <testsuite name="mentor">
            <directory>../module/Api</directory>
            <directory>../module/Application</directory>
            <exclude>../vendor</exclude>
          <exclude>vendor</exclude>
        </testsuite>
    </testsuites>
    <filter>
        <whitelist>
            <directory suffix=".php">../module</directory>
        </whitelist>
    </filter>
</phpunit>

file structure looks like this:

module
vendor
tests
-- phpunit.xml
-- Bootstrap.php

And now the tricky part. When I ran ../vendor/bin/php all works fine although if I ran global phpunit (/usr/local/bin/phpunit) it finishes with "no test executed" result. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I found the reason why phpunit ommit all classes - that was due to TestCase I was trying to extend . All my tests relay on \\PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase from Phpunit 5.7 package (in vendors). Phpunit 6.1.4 use namespaces instead therefore I should extend PHPUnit\\Framework\\TestCase . By changing the extended class in tests all works fine.

I think you need to use psr-4 inside composer like this:

"autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
            "": "module/"
        }
}

After you need to change your phpunit.xml with this:

<phpunit bootstrap="Bootstrap.php" backupGlobals="false">
    <testsuites>
        <testsuite name="mentor">
            <directory>module/Api</directory>
            <directory>module/Application</directory>
            <exclude>../vendor</exclude>
          <exclude>vendor</exclude>
        </testsuite>
    </testsuites>
    <filter>
        <whitelist>
            <directory suffix=".php">module</directory>
        </whitelist>
    </filter>
</phpunit>

I think you need to change your phpunit point to folder tests and not module! like this:

<phpunit bootstrap="Bootstrap.php" backupGlobals="false">
        <testsuites>
            <testsuite name="mentor">
                <directory>tests/</directory>
                <exclude>../vendor</exclude>
              <exclude>vendor</exclude>
            </testsuite>
        </testsuites>
        <filter>
            <whitelist>
                <directory suffix=".php">tests</directory>
            </whitelist>
        </filter>
    </phpunit>
