I am working with Symfony 2 and trying to get PHPunit to work with it so I've added this to my composer.json under required-dev:

"phpunit/phpunit": "4.6.*"

runned this command in my terminal: 

composer update --dev

after doing the above PHPUnit appears under the vendor directory.

According to the docs Symfony 2 has PHPUnit pre configured and can be executed by: phpunit -c app/

But it never works and my terminal message is: 

 Unknown command “phpunit”
The program 'phpunit' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install phpunit

Even through this ./bin/phpunit -c app seems to trigger phpunit no matter what test I write I always get this:

Configuration read from /home/tomazi/Dev/api.test/app/phpunit.xml.dist



Time: 66 ms, Memory: 4.25Mb

No tests executed!

My Test:

<?php

namespace BoltMail\User\InteractionBundle\Tests\Dto\Template;

class TestTemplateTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    public function testIndex()
    {
        $this->assertTrue(true);
    }
}

  • What directories are being searched in: phpunit.xml.dist Commented May 15, 2015 at 1:16
  • Depending on the configuration the local (to the project, installed by Composer) phpunit executable may be in the ./bin/ or vendor/bin/ directories. This is set by an (optional) bin json configuration in composer.json. The default is to put executable commands into vendor/bin/ Commented Aug 27, 2015 at 21:46

Reset to default

as you installed phpunit from composer you should run it from the project directory as 

$./bin/phpunit -c app

or if you want it be runned globally:

For a system-wide installation via Composer, you can run:

composer global require "phpunit/phpunit=3.7.*" Make sure you have ~/.composer/vendor/bin/ in your path.

Update to your question:

I suppose that you already solved the issue with empty tests by specifying target of tests. Just second way is specify target at app/phpunit.xml 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    backupGlobals               = "false"

You either have to specify your directories in your phpunit config file phpunit.xml.dist or run the command with specific directory or file

./bin/phpunit -c app/ path/to/your/test/folder
