How to run phpunit in laravel 5.5

Question

I have a problem running phpunit in my laravel 5.5. I already go to vendor/bin and then execute phpunit using my command prompt in windows. But cmd just give another option or flag as shown in the picture below :

I have read laravel 5.5 documentation for unittest. It's said that we just need to execute phpunit {as shown in https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/testing} Then I tried this : How to run single test method with phpunit?

phpunit --filter testBasicTest tests\Unit\ExampleTest

As shown below :

BUt it's said that 'cannot open the file'. Then I Tried phpunit ExampleTest, but still cannot open the file. So what's wrong here...? Thanks in advance

Note : Here's my phpunit.xml :

You need to run phpunit without getting inside the bin folder.

Try this:

vendor/bin/phpunit

This will load your phpunit.xml file. Otherwise it cannot load your configuration file. Unless if you don't give spesific path:

vendor/bin/phpunit --configuration /path/to/laravels/phpunit.xml

I tried cd vendor/bin && phpunit but it still gives me the same result as above.... – Maryadi Poipo Oct 31 '17 at 09:01
what about configuration? – tersakyan Oct 31 '17 at 11:13
there are so many phpunit.xml files located in different project folders, don't know which one is used for configuration – Mangesh Sathe May 30 '18 at 08:16
Also can be useful if you will use the Cygwin instead of default windows console – qant Jan 19 '20 at 12:14

Just install phpunit through composer:

composer global require phpunit/phpunit

then all you are set to test your laravel project.
