Hi, looks like it does use phpunit.xml

        if (!file_exists($file = base_path('phpunit.xml'))) {
            $file = base_path('phpunit.xml.dist');
        }

        return array_merge(['-c', $file], $options);

Thanks @sergiu17, indeed it looks like it does but it doesn't seem to take note of my Database settings in here :/

What isnt working? A specific model that uses the wrong connection ? Be aware that if you have set it manually on the model, it ignores phpunit.xml/env

Hi @sinnbeck ,

So i have set:

     <server name="DB_CONNECTION" value="sqlite"/>
     <server name="DB_DATABASE" value=":memory:"/>

When running phpunit natively /vendor/bin/phpunit then these variables are picked up. When i run php artisan test, it isn't I can see it's reading from my .env file?

What env file? .env.testing ? Or the normal .env file?

It seems to load both .env.testing and phpunit.xml :)

Level 4

The above variables are set in the phpunit.xml file as per the docs

The testing environment variables may be configured in the phpunit.xml file, but

it isn't I can see it's reading from my .env file?

And I asked

What env file?

Level 4

Sorry, I can see it is reading from .env

Level 102

No worries. Ok so you dont have a .env.testing file? :) If so it will also use this file.

Level 4

Nope, no .env.testing file at all, I just figured I could use the phpunit.xml rather than having another .env file laying around. Like I said, PHPUnit itself picks up the database config but php artisan test just defaults to the .env which I found a little weird.
