PHPUnit not working with Laravel 5

 

up vote 3 down vote favorite 3

I just installed a fresh Laravel 5 project, my first one on this version. PHPUnit is supposed to be out of the box with the framework and every tutorials I saw just say to type phpunit within the project folder to launch the Unit Tests. I checked and PHPUnit is in the composer.json, I also did a composer install and composer update just in case it wouldn't be here website(master)$ composer update Loading composer repositories with package information Updating dependencies (including require-dev) - Removing phpunit/phpunit (4.6.1) - Installing phpunit/phpunit (4.6.2) Downloading: 100% But it just doesn't work phpunit isn't recognized at all website(master)$ phpunit -bash: phpunit: command not found Seems like nobody got this problem before as I Googled it. I hope I'm not doing any stupid mistake. Any idea or suggestion ? Thanks guys ;) php  phpunit  laravel-5 share improve this question edited Apr 8 '15 at 1:26     asked  Apr 8 '15 at 1:06 Laurent 519 1 5 18

5   ./vendor/bin/phpunit –  zerkms  Apr 8 '15 at 1:29 alright thank you, that was pretty stupid at the end but i'm sure some people would do the same ^^ –  Laurent  Apr 8 '15 at 1:37 1   @Laurent it's not uncommon to have PHPUnit installed globally on your system so you can run phpunitfrom anywhere –  Phil  Apr 8 '15 at 1:43 Yeah I installed it globally and it works well now –  Laurent  Apr 8 '15 at 1:44 add a comment

So for anyone who would have same problem : composer global require phpunit/phpunit composer global require phpunit/dbunit Then you add this to you ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile export PATH=~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH share improve this answer answered  Apr 8 '15 at 1:44 Laurent 519 1 5 18

Include this line on your composer.json "phpunit/phpunit": "4.0.*", Run composer update. You should be able to run the following command on your Laravel directory. vendor/bin/phpunit share improve this answer
