Question

You may use --stop-on-failure flag to break the unit testing when one of the tests fails.

Is there any way quick way to tell PHPUnit to re-run this failed test, instead providing the full path manually?

Answer 1

Take a look at the --filter cli option. You can find an example in the organisation docs and in the CLI Docs.

–filter

Only runs tests whose name matches the given pattern. The pattern can be either the name of a single test or a regular expression that matches multiple test names.

Assume your run phpunit Tests/ and Tests/Stuff/ThatOneTestClassAgain::testThisWorks fails:

your options are:

phpunit --filter ThatOneTestClassAgain

and

phpunit --filter testThisWorks

or most other strings that somehow make sense
