There is a really simple way to set up phpunit with autoloading and bootstap. Use phpunit's --generate-configuration option to create your phpunit.xml configuration in a few seconds-:

vendor/bin/phpunit --generate-configuration

(Or just phpunit --generate-configuration if phpunit is set in your PATH). This option has been available from version phpunit5 and upwards.

This option will prompt you for your bootstrap file (vendor/autoload.php), tests and source directories. If your project is setup with composer defaults (see below directory structure) the default options will be all you need. Just hit RETURN three times!

project-dir
   -- src
   -- tests
   -- vendor

You get a default phpunit.xml which is good to go. You can of course edit to include any specialisms (e.g. colors="true") you require-:

    
        
            tests
        
    
    
        
            src
