how to test specific test class using phpunit in laravel

After trying several ways, I found out that I don't need to include the folder to test the specific test class. This works for me it runs all the test on the class:

phpunit --filter ApplicationVersionFormatTest

I think it's because my ApplicationVersionFormatTest extend The TestCase and return application instance which serves as the "glue" for all the components of Laravel.

for run phpunit test in laravel by many ways ..

vendor/bin/phpunit --filter methodName className pathTofile.phpvendor/bin/phpunit --filter 'namespace\\directoryName\\className::methodName'

for test single class:

vendor/bin/phpunit tests/Feature/UserTest.phpvendor/bin/phpunit --filter  tests/Feature/UserTest.phpvendor/bin/phpunit --filter 'Tests\\Feature\\UserTest'vendor/bin/phpunit --filter 'UserTest' 

for test single method:

 vendor/bin/phpunit --filter testExample  vendor/bin/phpunit --filter 'Tests\\Feature\\UserTest::testExample' vendor/bin/phpunit --filter testExample UserTest tests/Feature/UserTest.php

for run tests from all class within namespace:

vendor/bin/phpunit --filter 'Tests\\Feature'

for more way run test see more

To do the same thing using artisan run:

php artisan test --filter ApplicationVersionFormatTest
