Why does running phpunit with Laravel return "no tests executed"?

Question

I recently downloaded a fresh setup of Laravel 5.7 and have tried running the phpunit command at the command prompt with the basic settings, but it always comes through with "No tests executed"

Yet it has default tests that should run. Below is the snapshot of the folder setup and phpunit.xml.

What am I missing?

I am running the setup on xampp v3.2.2

Looking at your command line it seems as you used very old PhpUnit so probably you use globally installed PhpUnit. Instead you should rather run

vendor\bin\phpunit.bat

to run PhpUnit that is installed for current project and it should use phpunit.xml without any problem

Thank you @Marcin. It worked like a charm. Is there a way to have the original arrangement work? Do I always have to use `vendor\bin\phpunit.bat` – Samson Rwakabuguli Dec 10 '18 at 14:59
