phpunitHow to use the PHPUnit command line interface (CLI)?


The PHPUnit command line interface (CLI) is a tool used to run tests written in PHPUnit. It can be used to run tests from the command line, and can be used to automate the running of tests.

To use the PHPUnit CLI, you must first install PHPUnit. This can be done using Composer, or by downloading the PHAR file.

Once PHPUnit is installed, you can run tests from the command line using the phpunit command. For example, to run a test file called MyTest.php in the current directory, you can use the following command:

phpunit MyTest.php

The output of this command will show the results of the tests, including any errors or failures.

You can also use the --bootstrap option to specify a bootstrap file, which will be run before the tests. This can be used to set up the environment for the tests. For example:

phpunit --bootstrap bootstrap.php MyTest.php

You can also use the --configuration option to specify a configuration file, which will be used to configure the tests.

For more information on using the PHPUnit CLI, see the PHPUnit documentation.
