The Better PHPUnit test runner for VS Code now supports running PestPHP tests thanks to Joe Dixon and Caleb Porzio:
The Better PHPUnit extension automatically detects if pestphp/pest
is a Composer dependency, and runs pest
instead of phpunit
, meaning you can use the same extension seamlessly for PHPUnit or PestPHP projects 🔥.
You can learn more about this extension and install it from the Visual Studio Marketplace page. Also, you can find the source code for this plugin on GitHub.
Note: if you already have this extension installed, Pest support should be available once the extension is updated (which happened automatically for me).
