Vagrant : phpUnit not found (symfony 2.8) - phpunit

Question

I'm new to phpUnit. I installed it via composer. My composer.json is the following :
"require": {
"php": ">=5.5.9",
"symfony/symfony": "^2.8",
"doctrine/orm": "^2.5",
"doctrine/doctrine-bundle": "^1.6",
"doctrine/doctrine-cache-bundle": "^1.2",
"symfony/swiftmailer-bundle": "^2.3",
"symfony/monolog-bundle": "^2.8",
"sensio/distribution-bundle": "^5.0",
"sensio/framework-extra-bundle": "^3.0.2",
"incenteev/composer-parameter-handler": "^2.0",
"doctrine/mongodb-odm": "~1.0",
"doctrine/mongodb-odm-bundle": "~3.0",
"nicmart/tree": "~0.2",
"jms/serializer-bundle": "^1.1",
"simple-bus/symfony-bridge": "^4.1",
"phpunit/phpunit":">=4.2",
"codeception/codeception": "*",
"nicolopignatelli/valueobjects": "^4.0"
},
"require-dev": {
"sensio/generator-bundle": "^3.0",
"symfony/phpunit-bridge": "^2.7"
}
during composer update, i recieved
- Installing phpunit/phpunit (5.2.9)
and i see the phpunit directory in my vendors.
now while simply trying to output the phpunit version (or while trying to start testing), i get the following error message :
me#myMachine:root/path/of/symfony$ phpunit -v
The program 'phpunit' is currently not installed. To run 'phpunit' please ask your administrator to install the package 'phpunit'
is there any kind of shortcut to create in bash?
UPDATE
like suggested by the 2 current answers, i tried to run me#myMachine:root/path/of/symfony$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit -v
but it returns a permission denied exception despite the fact the current user (me#myMachine) is the fileowner.
furthermore, me#myMachine:root/path/of/symfony$ ls -l ./vendor/bin returns
-rw-rw-rw- 1 me me 612 Mar 1 09:52 codecept
-rw-rw-rw- 1 me me 603 Jan 28 13:50 doctrine
-rw-rw-rw- 1 me me 609 Jan 28 13:50 doctrine-dbal
-rw-rw-rw- 1 me me 607 Jan 28 13:50 doctrine.php
-rw-rw-rw- 1 me me 608 Feb 24 19:20 geotools
-rw-rw-rw- 1 me me 603 Mar 1 09:52 phpunit
-rw-rw-rw- 1 me me 978 Jan 20 12:15 security-checker
and if try to chmod -vR u+x ./vendor/bin it returns as expected a
mode of ‘bin/’ changed from 0777 (rwxrwxrwx) to 0766 (rwxrw-rw-)
mode of ‘bin/phpunit’ changed from 0666 (rw-rw-rw-) to 0766 (rwxrw-rw-)
but me#myMachine:root/path/of/symfony$ ls -l ./vendor/bin returns again
-rw-rw-rw- 1 me me 612 Mar 1 09:52 codecept
-rw-rw-rw- 1 me me 603 Jan 28 13:50 doctrine
-rw-rw-rw- 1 me me 609 Jan 28 13:50 doctrine-dbal
-rw-rw-rw- 1 me me 607 Jan 28 13:50 doctrine.php
-rw-rw-rw- 1 me me 608 Feb 24 19:20 geotools
-rw-rw-rw- 1 me me 603 Mar 1 09:52 phpunit
-rw-rw-rw- 1 me me 978 Jan 20 12:15 security-checker
like the chmod wasnt taken into account.
UPDATE 2
apparently, this issue is related to Vagrant.
I re-installed symfony completly, in 2.8 and 3.0 version, and the problem remains the same.
i found this similar issue and therefore choosed to install phpUnit globally composer global require phpunit/phpunit and then run phpunit -v again. This time, the command is found but i got the following error
me#myMachine:/path/to/symfony/root$ phpunit -v

Answer 1

If you install PHPUnit via Composer then its binary will be at vendor/bin/phpunit.

Answer 2

You need to call the specific binary in the vendor's bin directory of your project like
bin/phpunit -h
