unit testing - How to exclude file from PHPUnit test suite in xml config?

Question

I have following, very simple, XML config for PHPUnit:

<phpunit bootstrap="/_tests/TestAutoload.php">
    <testsuites>
        <testsuite name="Unit Tests">
            <directory suffix=".php">_tests</directory>
        </testsuite>
    </testsuites>
</phpunit>

How to exclude certain file in this directory from test suite? I tried <exclude> and <blacklist>, but it doesn't seem to work in this context. Also couldn't find any other documentation than phpunit.de one, which doesn't mention anything about it. Else than that, this config works perfectly.

Answer 1

To exclude the file name TestCase.php.

add this to your phpunit.xml

<testsuites>
    <testsuite name="BLABLA">
        <directory suffix=".php">./tests</directory>
        <exclude>./tests/TestCase.php</exclude>
    </testsuite>
</testsuites>

Here is an additional excerpt from a real-live test-suite I can confirm it working with:

...
    <testsuites>
        <testsuite name="n98-magerun-tests">
            <directory>./tests</directory>
            <exclude>tests/N98/Magento/Command/Installer/UninstallCommandTest.php</exclude>
        </testsuite>
    ...
