Question

In PHPUnit’s help it displays the following:

  --group ...              Only runs tests from the specified group(s).
  --exclude-group ...      Exclude tests from the specified group(s).

Easy enough for one group. This works:

phpunit --group fast

Now, I can’t quite figure out how to do this with more than one group. The following is not working for me:

phpunit --group fast unit   # It believes you want to test unit.php
phpunit --group fast, unit  # It believes you want to test unit.php
phpunit --group "fast unit" # It looks for a single group "fast unit"
phpunit --groups fast, unit # There is no option, groups
phpunit --group fast --group unit   # Only one is honored

Any thoughts on the correct syntax would be welcome. Thank you.

Use comma separation without any whitespace. E.g.

phpunit --group fast,unit
