Laravel phpUnit

Question

When I run phpunit command it throws all info from phpunit help with PHPUnit 3.7.21 by Sebastian Bergmann. So I suggest it should work, but not yet;

when I run

phpunit ExampleTest.php
PHP Fatal error:  Class 'Tests\TestCase' not found in C:\xampp7\htdocs\projects\heroes\tests\Feature\ExampleTest.php on line 8

In Laravel I've got 'tests' folder with

TestCase.php
<?php

namespace Tests;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\TestCase as BaseTestCase;

abstract class TestCase extends BaseTestCase
{
    use CreatesApplication;
}

folder 'Feature' with

ExampleTest.php

<?php

namespace Tests\Feature;

use Tests\TestCase;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase;

class ExampleTest extends TestCase
{
    /**
     * A basic test example.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function testBasicTest()
    {
        $response = $this->get('/');

        $response->assertStatus(200);
    }
}

and folder 'Unit'

In Laravel root folder I've got

composer.json

        "sort-packages": true,
        "optimize-autoloader": true
    },

    "prefer-stable": true
}

It looks like your using phpunit installed globally in your system, which is super old and it is not connected with your project autoloading. You should use phpunit installed in your project by Composer:

vendor/bin/phpunit

and you saying that I'm doing some old stuff, please explain what changes I shoul make to become up-to-date

@DimaRashevskiy That depends how do you installed this global version of phpunit. But you should really avoid using global version of phpunit and always use the one installed in project locally. Different projects may require different version of phpunit, so using global installation will make test results unpredictable, since on different computer may be installed different version. Local installation of phpunit will be always the same on every environment, since it is locked in composer.lock.

Thanks. Also for the tests - I'm on basic crud project with crud only. I'm not supposed to cover the crud, but I am supposed to cover the "main logic". So happens that all my methods use DB which is connected to crud, therefore the question IS: what are simple main logic unit tests? I've got one to check the connection. Another test from example chekcs server response from ('/') to get 200, and does not work on ('/mypage'), it gives 500. What could the problem be here and what other simple unit tests can be??

You can use this

like this it will run phpunit from the root of your application

First install PHP Unit using this comand

composer require --dev phpunit/phpunit

After that check whether it is installed or not

./vendor/bin/phpunit --version
