Exercism PHP Track

Running the tests

1. Go to the root of your PHP exercise directory, which is <EXERCISM_WORKSPACE>/php. To find the Exercism workspace run

   ➜ exercism debug | grep Workspace
   

2. Get PHPUnit if you don't have it already.

   ➜ wget -O phpunit https://phar.phpunit.de/phpunit-9.phar
   ➜ chmod +x phpunit
   ➜ ./phpunit --version
   

3. Execute the tests:

   ➜ ./phpunit file_to_test.php
   

   For example, to run the tests for the Hello World exercise, you would run:

   ➜ ./phpunit HelloWorldTest.php
