PHPunit no tests execute on Travis CI

Question

I'm been following a PHPUnit tutorial for the first time and my tests run fine locally. However, when running my tests on Travis CI, no tests are executed and my build exits with 0.

My directory structure and full code can be seen on the repo.

Build log from Travis CI (Full build log)

1.51s$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Done. Your build exited with 0.

phpunit.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<phpunit colors="true" bootstrap="vendor/autoload.php">
    <testsuites>
        <testsuite name="Application Test Suite">
            <directory>phpunittutorial/tests/</directory>
        </testsuite>
    </testsuites>
</phpunit>

.travis.yml:

language: php

php:
  - 5.4
  - 5.5

before_script:
  - curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
  - php composer.phar install

script: vendor/bin/phpunit --debug

My tests run successfully locally, however maybe there is an issue somewhere with my phpunit.xml file?

Some comment that may improve the situation: 1. Composer is already installed in Travis, there is no need to fully install it again. You might want to run composer self-update instead of running the curl install command. 2. Subsequently, Composer is called as composer directly, not as php composer.phar. 3. For debugging possible Composer issues, run the install command with verbose flags like -vvv. — Sven

The directory containing your tests is incorrect.

The correct path would be phpUnitTutorial/tests. Note that Windows does not care about case sensitivity, but everyone else in the world does. Best thing would be to always use lower case for paths, or double check you are using the correct case everywhere (PSR-0 and PSR-4 would require path names with the same case as the class name, which will usually include upper case letters).

And by the way: You should probably upgrade to a more recent version of PHPUnit. That old 3.7 series is not getting any more updates for years now, and the transition to 4.x isn't too steep - you should just do it.
