phpunit / excluded files still returning warnings

Question

using version 8.1.6, and Given the following phpunit.xml :

<phpunit bootstrap="vendor/autoload.php">
  <testsuites>
    <testsuite name="SlimSkeleton">
      <directory>tests</directory>
      <exclude>./tests/Functional/BaseTestCase.php</exclude>
    </testsuite>
  </testsuites>
</phpunit>

And the following directory structure :

./tests/Functional/serviceA/...
./tests/Functional/BaseTestCase.php

I keep getting the following output :

...
1) Warning
No tests found in class "Tests\Functional\BaseTestCase".
...

I run the suitr via a scripts command in composer.json :

{
    ...
    "scripts": {
       "test": "phpunit"
      }
}

Is it expected ? Is there a way to silence this warning ?

in which part of the dir struct is localed the file `phpunit.xml`? have you tried also with `./tests` ? — Matteo, Jun 03 '19 at 08:07
How do you invoke the test-runner? How do you ensure you execute *that* testsuite? - maybe exclude works for directory paths only? — hakre, Jun 03 '19 at 19:24
@hakre i've added the info about how i run. I just want to know whats the way to exclude a file from the runner, is that so hard ? Isnt there a single way to do it correctly? — Ben, Jun 03 '19 at 19:34
@ceejayoz how would you do so ? Is doing so solves the problem ? I'm so surprised to receive question - it sounds like there's no identified way to do i correctly — Ben, Jun 03 '19 at 19:36
@Ben You just add `abstract` to the class definition. See Laravel's, for example: https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/master/tests/TestCase.php — ceejayoz, Jun 03 '19 at 20:05
@Ben: Just checked in a different test-suite w/ ``: It does not operate on file-path but only on directory-path. Also it can not be the same path as the `` entry. HTH. /e: And well this was hard for me back in 2011: https://stackoverflow.com/q/5934347/367456 - I think this is also similar to what @ceejayoz pointed to. — hakre, Jun 03 '19 at 20:11

phpunit by default finds *Test.php, so even without <exclude> in phpunit.xml it would ignore BaseTestCase.php by running composer test.

Using tests instead of tests/EmailTest would instruct the PHPUnit command-line test runner to execute all tests found declared in *Test.php sourcecode files in the tests directory.

https://phpunit.de/getting-started/phpunit-8.html

I see "No tests found" warning if I specify command-line argument like the below. But this is not the intended usage of BaseTestCase.php from Slim-Skelton.

$ composer test tests/Functional/BaseTestCase.php
> phpunit 'tests/Functional/BaseTestCase.php'
