Run only one unit test from a test suite in laravel

Question

Using phpunit command Laravel will run all unit tests in our project. How to run one or specific Unit Tests in Laravel 5.1?

I just want to run testFindToken from my test suite.

<?php

use Mockery as m;
use App\Models\AccessToken;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\WithoutMiddleware;

class AccessTokenRepositoryTest extends TestCase
{
    use WithoutMiddleware;

    public function setUp()
    {
        parent::setUp();

        $this->accessToken = factory(AccessToken::class);
        $this->repo_AccessToken = app()->make('App\Repositories\AccessTokenRepository');
    }

    public function testFindToken()
    {
        $model = $this->accessToken->make();
        $model->save();
        $model_accessToken = $this->repo_AccessToken->findToken($model->id);
        $this->assertInstanceOf(Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model::class, $model);
        $this->assertNotNull(true, $model_accessToken);
    }    
}

Use this command to run a specific test from your test suite.

phpunit --filter {TestMethodName}

If you want to be more specific about your file then pass the file path as a second argument

phpunit --filter {TestMethodName} {FilePath}

Example:

phpunit --filter testExample path/to/filename.php

Note:

If you have a function named testSave and another function named testSaveAndDrop and you pass testSave to the --filter like so

phpunit --filter testSave

it will also run testSaveAndDrop and any other function that starts with testSave*

it is basically a sub-string match. If you want to exclude all other methods then use $ end of string token like so

phpunit --filter '/testSave$/'

Well explained. But for laravel if phpunit command is not configured with your project you will have to use ./vendor/bin/phpunit instead.

You should run ./vendor/bin/phpunit --help to get all options with phpunit. And you can run phpunit with some option below to run specific method or class.

--filter <pattern>          Filter which tests to run.

--testsuite <name,...>      Filter which testsuite to run

For windows environment this works for me:

in console:

vendor\bin\phpunit --filter login_return_200_if_credentials_are_fine tests/Unit/Http/Controllers/AuthControllerTest.php

WHERE

login_return_200_if_credentials_are_fine - your test method tests/Unit/Http/Controllers/AuthControllerTest.php - path where test method defined

Late to the party but it might help someone.

To test specific test file

php artisan test --filter AccessTokenRepositoryTest

To test specific case of that file

php artisan test --filter AccessTokenRepositoryTest::testFindToken
