This is intended for use in projects that have to test with a wide variety of PHP versions, which typically also means a wide variety of PHPUnit versions which may have incompatible configuration file formats. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Require using `composer require --dev automattic/phpunit-select-config`. This will install the `phpunit-select-config` tool into `vendor/bin/`, which you might add to your PATH, or you might run it via `composer exec -- phpunit-select-config`. Usage ----- [](#usage) Create PHPUnit configuration files for each relevant PHPUnit version following a common naming pattern. For example, you might name the config for PHPUnit 8 `phpunit.8.xml.dist`, the one for PHPUnit 9 `phpunit.9.xml.dist`, the one for PHPUnit 10 `phpunit.10.xml.dist`, and so on. Then, instead of running `phpunit` directly, run `phpunit-select-config phpunit.#.xml.dist`. Any additional arguments to PHPUnit may follow. The `#` character in the filename-pattern will be replaced with the PHPUnit major version and passed as the `--configuration` argument to PHPUnit. ### Health Score 50 — FairBetter than 95% of packages Maintenance96 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity30 Limited adoption so far Community36 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity39 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
