### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.4+
- PHPUnit 13.x

### Installation

[](#installation)

Require the package with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```
composer require --dev josrom/phpunit-unicode-printer:13.*
```

Or update your `require-dev` block manually and run `composer update`:

```
{
    "require-dev": {
        "josrom/phpunit-unicode-printer": "13.*"
    }
}
```

### Configuration (PHPUnit 10 / 11 / 12 / 13)

[](#configuration-phpunit-10--11--12--13)

PHPUnit 10 removed the `printerClass` XML attribute and replaced the printer architecture with an event-driven extension system, which PHPUnit 11, 12 and 13 keep. Register the printer as a `` extension in your `phpunit.xml`:

```

    ...

```

Pick **one** of the three available extensions depending on the level of detail you want:

Extension classOutput`PHPUnit\Extension\UnicodePrinter`One progress symbol per test, grouped by test directory.`PHPUnit\Extension\UnicodePrinterClass`One progress symbol per test, grouped by directory + class.`PHPUnit\Extension\UnicodePrinterMethod`One full row per test (`(N/M) ✓ Class: Method (Xms)`).#### Status symbols

[](#status-symbols)

StatusSymbolColorPassed✓greenFailed✗redErrored✗magentaWarning✗yellowRisky✓yellowDeprecation⚠yellowNoticeℹcyanIncomplete✓blueSkipped✗blueTo make a test be flagged as **Risky**, set `beStrictAboutTestsThatDoNotTestAnything="true"` on `` and write a test method without any assertion.

#### Disable PHPUnit's default progress output

[](#disable-phpunits-default-progress-output)

PHPUnit 10/11/12/13 always renders its own dotted progress (`.IIFWES…`). To avoid two progress streams interleaving, run PHPUnit with the `--no-progress` flag:

```
./vendor/bin/phpunit --no-progress
```

A convenient way is to alias it in your `composer.json` scripts section:

```
{
    "scripts": {
        "test": "phpunit --no-progress"
    }
}
```

> Note: `--no-progress` is a CLI-only option; there is no equivalent attribute on the `` element.

### Migrating from older versions

[](#migrating-from-older-versions)

The old `printerClass="..."` attribute was removed by PHPUnit 10. Replace any of these:

```

```

with the corresponding `` block shown above. The original three class names map to the new ones as:

Before (PHPUnit ≤ 9)After (PHPUnit 10 / 11 / 12 / 13)`PHPUnit\Printer``PHPUnit\Extension\UnicodePrinter``PHPUnit\PrinterClass``PHPUnit\Extension\UnicodePrinterClass``PHPUnit\PrinterMethod``PHPUnit\Extension\UnicodePrinterMethod`### Older PHPUnit versions

[](#older-phpunit-versions)
