How to run a specific phpunit xml testsuite?

Question

how can i choose a specific testsuite to be executed?

$ phpunit --configuration config.xml

config.xml:

<testsuites>     <testsuite name="Library">         <directory>library</directory>     </testsuite>     <testsuite name="XXX_Form">         <file>library/XXX/FormTest.php</file>         <directory>library/XXX/Form</directory>     </testsuite> </testsuites> 

Answer 1

Here's the code as if PHPUnit 3.7.13

$ phpunit --configuration config.xml --testsuite Library $ phpunit --configuration config.xml --testsuite XXX_Form 

If you want to run a group of the test suites then you can do this

<testsuites>   <testsuite name="Library">     <directory>library</directory>   </testsuite>   <testsuite name="XXX_Form">     <file>library/XXX/FormTest.php</file>     <directory>library/XXX/Form</directory>   </testsuite>   <testsuite name="Both">     <directory>library</directory>     <file>library/XXX/FormTest.php</file>     <directory>library/XXX/Form</directory>   </testsuite> </testsuites> 

Then

$ phpunit --configuration config.xml --testsuite Both 

Unfortunately PHPUnit currently does not support nested testsuites like this

<testsuites>     <testsuite name="Both">       <testsuite name="Library">         <directory>library</directory>       </testsuite>       <testsuite name="XXX_Form">         <file>library/XXX/FormTest.php</file>         <directory>library/XXX/Form</directory>       </testsuite>   </testsuite> </testsuites> 

So if you wanted to run groups of test suites this way you have to have xml configuration duplication!
