c:\xampp\htdocs\ublocker>php artisan dusk
PHPUnit 5.7.7 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

F.                                                                  2 / 2 (100%)

any ideas how to fix this?

Answer 1

Seems like your version installed globally does not meet minimal required version. Try to run

phpunit --version

I bet you will get some like 5.1. The php artisan dusk command uses different version which is located in vendor/bin/phpunit. So, you are also able to use this version instead. Just type:

vendor/bin/phpunit

instead of phpunit. You have to upgrade your global phpunit version if it works.

Answer 2

In my case the following command worked in windows environment, with \ in place of /:

vendor\bin\phpunit

Answer 3

Had the same problem at Laravel 5.4. This worked for me.

Step 1: update your composer

composer update

Step 2: run the phpunit

vendor/bin/phpunit

You can run a specific test by specifying the file

vendor/bin/phpunit tests/Feature/ExampleTest.php

Answer 4

I have same issue ans solved with this step :

Check diff version

$ phpunit --version
PHPUnit 6.5.5 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit --version
PHPUnit 8.3.5 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

Update global phpunit:

if versions not equal update phpunit with

 composer global require phpunit/phpunit:^8

check again versions

$ phpunit --version
PHPUnit 8.3.5 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit --version
PHPUnit 8.3.5 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.
