PHPunit Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method PHPUnit_Util_Configuration::getTestdoxGroupConfiguration()

Question

I don't know if it's related to Laravel 5.4. When I run phpunit command after installing Laravel 5.4 without making any changes, I get

Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method PHPUnit_Util_Configuration::getTestdoxGroupConfiguration()`

But when I run php artisan dusk, it runs normally:

cd c:\xampp\htdocs\ublocker
phpunit

Output:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method

php artisan dusk

Output:

PHPUnit 5.7.7 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

F.                                                                  2 / 2 (100%)

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

It seems like your version installed globally does not meet the minimal required version. Try to run

phpunit --version

I bet you will get something 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.
