How to run single test method with phpunit?

I am struggling to run a single test method named testSaveAndDrop in the file escalation/EscalationGroupTest.php with phpunit. I tried the following combinations: 

phpunit EscalationGroupTest escalation/EscalationGroupTest.php --filter=escalation/EscalationGroupTest.php::testSaveAndDrop
phpunit EscalationGroupTest escalation/EscalationGroupTest.php --filter=EscalationGroupTest.php::testSaveAndDrop
phpunit EscalationGroupTest escalation/EscalationGroupTest.php --filter=EscalationGroupTest::testSaveAndDrop
phpunit EscalationGroupTest escalation/EscalationGroupTest.php --filter=testSaveAndDrop

In each case all test methode in the file escalation/EscalationGroupTest.php are executed. How to select just ONE method instead?

The name of the class is EscalationGroupTest and the version of phpunit is 3.2.8.

Solution

  • 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
