PHPUnit Test Splitter
=====================

[](#phpunit-test-splitter)

Allows you to split your PHPUnit tests by timings.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Generate a timing file:

```
phpunit --cache-result --results-files=.phpunit.cache/test-results*
```

List your tests:

```
phpunit --list-tests-xml=tests.xml
```

This generates an XML file with a list of tests. You can add `--testsuite` to limit the tests to a specific suite.

Split the tests in 2 groups and get the first group (0):

```
phpunit-splitter 2 0 --tests-file=tests.xml --results-files=.phpunit.cache/test-results*
```

Split the tests in 4 groups and get the third group (2):

```
phpunit-splitter 4 2 --tests-file=tests.xml --results-files=.phpunit.cache/test-results*
```

Pass the results to PHPUnit:

```
./phpunit-splitter 2 0 --tests-file=tests/fixtures/tests.xml --results-files=.phpunit.cache/test-results* | xargs ./vendor/bin/phpunit
done
```

Output the test list as JSON:

```
./phpunit-splitter 2 0 --json --tests-file=tests/fixtures/tests.xml --results-files=.phpunit.cache/test-results*
```
