codeception error after inserting laravel5 module

Question

i have installed codeception globally. it works fine when i run codecept run functional command. when i insert laravel5 module into functional.suite.yml as per instruction from codeception website documentation, it gives me error like this.

when i remove laravel5 module codecept run works normally. anyone knows how to tackle that error? should i install codeception locally instead of globally?

Note : i don't use homestead/vagrant

Answer 1

This error doesn't seem to be related to Laravel5 module.

Your problem is that you have 2 conflicting versions of PHPUnit installed.

You have PHPUnit 5.2.12 installed in vendor directory, but your global Codeception install is bundled with PHPUnit 4.8.23.

There are 2 ways to solve it:
a) uninstall PHPUnit from your project.
b) install Codeception with Composer.
