Make sure you are on the project root and referencing the file inside the tests folder.

Example:

phpunit tests/ExampleTest.php

I am working in Windows. Try to use the full path:

C:\Desktop\code\blog\vendor\bin>phpunit C:\Desktop\code\blog\tests\Feature\ExampleTest.php
PHPUnit 7.2.6 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.
.                                                                   1 / 1 (100%)
Time: 1.46 seconds, Memory: 10.00MB
OK (1 test, 1 assertion)

This started happening when I upgrade phpUnit, I had to update phpStorm to fix it.

Maybe you call wrong to your test. Try like this :

php artisan test --filter YourTestClassName
