I prefer marking the test in annotation as          group failing    Tests the api edit form     public function testEditAction     Then running it with  phpunit --group failing   No need to specify the full path in the command line  but you have to remember removing this before commit  not to clutter the code   You may also specify several groups for a single test           group failing      group bug2204       public function testSomethingElse

The following command runs the test on a single method    phpunit --filter testSaveAndDrop EscalationGroupTest escalation EscalationGroupTest php  phpunit --filter methodName ClassName path to file php   For newer versions of phpunit  it is just   phpunit --filter methodName path to file php

Here s the more generic answer   If you are sure the method name is unique you can only filter by method name  this works for me   phpunit --filter  TestMethodName    However it is safer to specify the file path reference as well  phpunit --filter  TestMethodName   FilePath    Example    phpunit --filter testSaveAndDrop reference to escalation EscalationGroupTest php   Quick note  I ve noticed that if I have a function named testSave and another function named testSaveAndDrop using command phpunit --filter testSave will also run testSaveAndDrop and any other function that starts with testSave   it s weird

The reason your tests are all being run is that you have the --filter flag after the file name   PHPUnit is not reading the options at all and so is running all the test cases   From the help screen    Usage  phpunit  options  UnitTest  UnitTest php          phpunit  options   lt directory gt    So move the --filter argument before the test file that you want as mentioned in  Alex and   Ferid M  vs  mov answers   And you should only have the test that you want run

I am late to the party though  But as personal I hate to write the whole line    Instead  I use the following shortcuts in the  bash profile file make sure to source  bash profile the file after adding any new alias else it won t work    alias pa  php artisan  alias pu  vendor bin phpunit   alias puf  vendor bin phpunit --filter    Usage   puf function name  puf filename   If you use Visual Studio Code you can use the following package to make your tests breeze    Package Name  Better PHPUnit Link  https   marketplace visualstudio com items itemName calebporzio better-phpunit   You can then set the keybinding in the settings  I use Command   T binding in my MAC   Now once you place your cursor on any function and then use the key binding then it will automatically run that single test    If you need to run the whole class then place the cursor on top of the class and then use the key binding   If you have any other things then always tweek with the Terminal  Happy Coding
