PHPUnit script invoker
======================

[](#phpunit-script-invoker)

Many PHP projects now supply [PHPUnit](https://phpunit.de/) via `require-dev` in composer. This means that to run PHPUnit, you often have to supply a full path to the local `phpunit` binary.

This package is intended to be installed globally, and supplies you with a `phpunit` script as well.

This script will automatically find a `composer.json` in your current path or one of its parents, and find the correct "local" phpunit script and runs it for you.

In addition to that, it will also attempt to find `phpunit.xml` or `phpunit.xml.dist` and change the working directory to that path before running the real `phpunit` script.

This means that using this script, you can just invoke `phpunit` from wherever you are in your project, and it will run it correctly.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer global require evert/phpunit-bin

```

Make sure that after you run that, your global composer `bin` directory is in your `$PATH`. This is usually `~/.composer/vendor/bin`, or `~/.config/composer/vendor/bin`
