How to skip tests in PHPunit?

Question

I am using phpunit in connection with jenkins, and I want to skip certain tests by setting the configuration in the XML file phpunit.xml

I know that I can use on the command line:

phpunit --filter testStuffThatBrokeAndIOnlyWantToRunThatOneSingleTest

how do I translate that to the XML file since the <filters> tag is only for code-coverage?

I would like to run all tests apart from testStuffThatAlwaysBreaks

Answer 1

跳过损坏的测试或稍后需要继续处理的测试的最快和最简单的方法是将以下内容添加到单个单元测试的顶部：

$this->markTestSkipped('must be revisited.');

Answer 2

If you can deal with ignoring the whole file then

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<phpunit>

    <testsuites>
        <testsuite name="foo">
            <directory>./tests/</directory>
            <exclude>./tests/path/to/excluded/test.php</exclude>
                ^-------------
        </testsuite>
    </testsuites>

</phpunit>

Answer 3

Sometimes it's useful to skip all tests from particular file based on custom condition(s) defined as php code. You can easily do that using setUp function in which makeTestSkipped works as well.

protected function setUp()
{
    if (your_custom_condition) {
        $this->markTestSkipped('all tests in this file are invactive for this server configuration!');
    }
}

your_custom_condition can be passed via some static class method/property, a constant defined in phpunit bootstrap file or even a global variable.
