PHPUnit 5.7.7 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

F.                                                                  2 / 2 (100%)

any ideas how to fix this?

Answer 1

Seems like your version installed globally does not meet minimal required version. Try to run

phpunit --version

I bet you will get some like 5.1. The php artisan dusk command uses different version which is located in vendor/bin/phpunit. So, you are also able to use this version instead. Just type:

vendor/bin/phpunit

instead of phpunit. You have to upgrade your global phpunit version if it works.
