PhpUnit misconfiguration: no tests run when <directory> is used

Question

Using PhpUnit 6.3 to test a helloWorld() function written in PHP 7.1. The test runs ok if I execute its php file directly from the command line:

> php C:\path\to\phpunit.phar C:\project\hello-world\hello-world_tests.php
  OK <1 test, 1 assertion>

However if I rely on my configuration file, no test is run:

> php C:\path\to\phpunit.phar --configuration C:\project\phpunit.xml
  No tests executed!

Here is my folder structure:

project/
    phpunit.xml
    phpunit.phar
    hello-world/
        hello-world.php
        hello-world_test.php

Here is my configuration file, phpunit.xml:

<phpunit>
    <testsuites>
        <testsuite name="Test suite">
            <directory>./hello-world</directory>
        </testsuite>
    </testsuites>
</phpunit>

Replacing the directory node with a file node gets things working:

<file>./hello-world/hello-world_test.php</file>

that's nice, but I don't want to list all test files individually, which is why I had the directory node originally.

AFAIR PHPUnit picks up only files named with trailing Test at the end -- making it to be helloWorldTest.php if to include file extenstion. — xmike

<phpunit>
    <testsuites>
        <testsuite name="Test suite">
            <directory suffix="_test.php">./hello-world</directory>
        </testsuite>
    </testsuites>
</phpunit>
