PHPUnit does not color output

Question

how can I enable a colored output for my tests? I tried the command phpunit --color=always file.php, but it did not work!

Thanks for help!

Answer 1

it should be --colors Not --color check the docs

Answer 2

If you didn't get color then you can override the phpunit.xml file on your main file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<phpunit colors="true">

</phpunit>

Have a good day.
