I installed PHPUnit with composer. Everytime I run it, I have to call vendor/bin/phpunit
. How can I put vendor/bin
into path, so that next time I only need to call phpunit
to run it?
You could add the current directory into your path.
For Linux/Mac add the following into your .bash_profile
, Windows would be similar, alter the line below and add it into your PATH
.
# include the current `vendor/bin` folder (Notice the `.` - This means current directory)
PATH="./vendor/bin:$PATH"
Remember to restart your terminal or resource your bash_profile
.
Now you should be able to run: phpunit
and it will automatically look for it within ./vendor/bin
and if it exists it will execute using that.
If you are running on Homestead (or some other Linux/Ubuntu system):
alias p='vendor/bin/phpunit'
Then you can just type p
and it will run your tests
If you are using Homestead - you can add this alias to your aliases
file so it is always there.
Another easy solution, from the composer documentation, is to set your bin-dir
setting to ./
. This will install the binary in your root directory.
"config": {
"bin-dir": "./"
}
Then you can just run ./phpunit
. I typically set bin-dir
to bin
, then type bin/phpunit
. It's short enough for me.
If you already have phpunit installed, you will need to delete the vendor/phpunit
directory and rerun composer install
before composer will move the binary.
