evert/phpunit-bin

Global phpunit cli script that finds your project's phpunit and runs it.

PHPUnit script invoker

Many PHP projects now supply [PHPUnit][1] via require-dev in composer. This means that to run PHPUnit, you often have to supply a full path to the local phpunit binary., _(*1)

This package is intended to be installed globally, and supplies you with a phpunit script as well., _(*2)

This script will automatically find a composer.json in your current path or one of its parents, and find the correct "local" phpunit script and runs it for you., _(*3)

In addition to that, it will also attempt to find phpunit.xml or phpunit.xml.dist and change the working directory to that path before running the real phpunit script., _(*4)

This means that using this script, you can just invoke phpunit from wherever you are in your project, and it will run it correctly., _(*5)

Installation

composer global require evert/phpunit-bin

Make sure that after you run that, your global composer bin directory is in your $PATH. This is usually ~/.composer/vendor/bin, or ~/.config/composer/vendor/bin, _(*6)
