PHPUnit --no-coverage option to overwrite config file

Question

I use PHPUnit to test my projects, using a phpunit.xml.dist config file.

The default configuration for all my projects is set to generate html code coverage reports.

Is there anyway I can run the phpunit command at a given time without generating the code coverage reports without having to change the config file?

This would be something like a --no-coverage option.

Answer 1

As noted by Gonçalo Queirós in this answer, the --no-coverage option is supported since version 4.8.

Answer 2

I couldn't find anything from the documentation to reference any sort of functionality that would provide the option to be a toggle.

You could point PHPunit to a second phpunit.xml that doesn't have the code coverage

You can see this very question being asked prior.

Is there a way to disable code coverage in PHPUnit for a single test?
