Answer 1

I had this problem in the past with Laravel 4 and 5. Turns out I was missing this in my composer.json.

Laravel 5:

"autoload-dev": {
    "classmap": [ "tests/TestCase.php" ]
},

Laravel 4:

"autoload-dev": {
    "classmap": [ "app/tests/TestCase.php" ]
},

Answer 2

I think the way laravel is setup you need to be at the root of the specific project, then specify the rest to phpunit.

1.) alias phpunit='vendor/bin/phpunit'

Try changing your path to "C:\xampp\htdocs\testproject" then run "alias phpunit='vendor/bin/phpunit'" then run "phpunit app/tests/ExampleTest.php".

You have to run the phpunit in the folder where You have your tests.

Run this from the command line, from the root directory of the project:

phpunit app/tests/
