Question

all examples of phpunit I saw run the simple command line tool:

phpunit TestClass

but when I try the same on a directory other than the xampp php dir, I end up getting an “unknown command…”

Is there a way to execute the phpunit command from any directory in the Windows command line?

Answer 1

Add the phpunit to your System PATH

Setting Path on Windows Start ->
Control Panel -> System -> Advanced
Click on Environment Variables, under
System Variables, find PATH, and click
on it. In the Edit windows, modify
PATH by adding the location of the
class to the value for PATH. If you do
not have the item PATH, you may select
to add a new variable and add PATH as
the name and the location of the class
as the value. Close the window. Reopen
Command prompt window, and run phpunit TestClass
