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.

Answer 5

For any who is experiencing this, vendor/bin/phpunit definitely works but you might want to add this line to your .bashrc or .bash_profile or whatever convenient for you to make it works.
PATH="./vendor/bin:$PATH"
*tested on Linux only

Answer 6

I had same error with homestead laravel 5.6
when I ran phpunit command from my user it is works fine but when I ran it by sudo I got that error. try to run this command from your user not sudo maybe its work for you too

Answer 7

One solution is to add vendor/bin to the start of your path. On Unix like OSes running bash you can add the following to the end of your .bashrc file:
export PATH=vendor/bin:$PATH
In Windows 10, you can access your Path environment variable by accessing System Properties, Advanced tab and clicking the Environment Variables... button.
Either way, inserting vendor/bin at the front of the path will cause your OS to look for phpunit in ./vendor/bin. If you're in the root of your laravel project, it'll find the executable included with Laravel. If not, it'll move on to using the global version.
