Better PHPUnit is the most popular, cleanest, and fastest PHPUnit runner for VS Code.
- Place your cursor in/on the method you want to run
- Open the command menu:
cmd+shift+p
- Select:
Better PHPUnit: run
- Open the command menu:
cmd+shift+p
- Select:
Better PHPUnit: run-file
- Open the command menu:
cmd+shift+p
- Select:
Better PHPUnit: run suite
- Open the command menu:
cmd+shift+p
- Select:
Better PHPUnit: run previous
- Color output!
- Run individual methods by placing your cursor anywhere in/on the method
- Test failures are displayed in the "Problems" panel for quick access
Note: this plugin registers "tasks" to run phpunit, not a command like other extensions. This makes it possible to leverage the problem output and color terminal.
Keybindings:
{
"key": "cmd+k cmd+r",
"command": "better-phpunit.run"
},
{
"key": "cmd+k cmd+f",
"command": "better-phpunit.run-file"
},
{
"key": "cmd+k cmd+p",
"command": "better-phpunit.run-previous"
}
Config:
{
"better-phpunit.commandSuffix": null, // This string will be appended to the phpunit command, it's a great place to add flags like '--stop-on-failure'
"better-phpunit.phpunitBinary": null // A custom phpunit binary. Ex: 'phpunit', '/usr/local/bin/phpunit'
"better-phpunit.suiteSuffix": null // Specify options to appended only to the 'run suite' command, for example add options like '--testsuite unit' or '--coverage --coverage-xml'.
}
Running tests over ssh (For VMs like Laravel Homestead):
{
"better-phpunit.ssh.enable": true,
"better-phpunit.ssh.paths": {
"/your/local/path": "/your/remote/path"
},
"better-phpunit.ssh.user": "user",
"better-phpunit.ssh.host": "host",
"better-phpunit.ssh.port": "22"
"better-phpunit.ssh.binary": "putty -ssh"
}
Running tests in already running Docker containers:
{
"better-phpunit.docker.enable": true,
"better-phpunit.docker.command": "docker exec container-name",
"better-phpunit.docker.paths": {
"/your/local/path": "/your/remote/path"
},
}
Running tests with Docker Compose, starting up a service and removing the container when finished:
{
"better-phpunit.docker.enable": true,
"better-phpunit.docker.command": "docker-compose run --rm service-name",
"better-phpunit.docker.paths": {
"/your/local/path": "/your/remote/path"
},
}
Note: For running Docker over a SSH session just use both options ssh.enable and docker.enable combined.
