Answer 1

The problem here is that you are running PHPUnit installed on your system that is pretty old and not PHPUnit that should be run for this project.

To make sure you run the PHPUnit that is really installed for this project you should rather run:

vendor/bin/phpunit

or

vendor/bin/phpunit.bat

Answer 2

In case somebody is searching for the answer here it is:

php vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit

and make sure that your function contains the word "test"

for example

public function test_a_user_can_browse_threads()
{
...
}

edit: this works for laravel version 7

Answer 3

Running Lumen version 7.0, and was instructed to simply run phpunit

However running phpunit always produced No Test Executed error.

Tried Admir Husić's advice, ran php vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit, and problem solved, Lumen found the test file and executed it.

Thanks.
