ERRORS!
Tests: 5, Assertions: 2, Errors: 3.

Upon further investigation...

The Assert class is not found via the IDE either.

Looking into the composer autoloader, the only PHPUnit\Framework classes being loaded is the "ForwardCompatibility/TestCase ???!!!

3285'PHPUnit\\Framework\\TestCase' => $vendorDir . '/phpunit/phpunit/src/ForwardCompatibility/TestCase.php',
3825'PHPUnit\\Framework\\TestCase' => __DIR__ . '/..' . '/phpunit/phpunit/src/ForwardCompatibility/TestCase.php',

Here is my composer file, for good measure...

Steps To Reproduce:

install via composer
run phpunit default tests.
php vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit

THIS HELPS .. but it is a hack...
removed use PHPUnit\Framework\Assert as PHPUnit;
replacing PHPUnit:: with \PHPUnit_Framework_Assert:: in the file ... vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Testing/T‌​estResponse.php

This happened to me after upgrading to 5.4 as well.

Solved by:

• requiring "phpunit/phpunit": "~5.7" instead of 5.0
• removing phpspec/phpspec from composer.json altogether
• running vendor/bin/phpunit instead of phpunit

The last step is probably the most important.

YEP!

phpspec is forcing phpunit back to version 5.6.4....
there is an issue there somewhere...

these are the updates with phpspec.....

i was already running the vendor version of phpunit, so it is really the phpspec/phpspec package that part of the issue, via itself or it's requirements...

Pavol Tanuška solved it, thanks!!

PhpSpec 3, which was released early last summer, works fine with recent versions of Laravel. You may, however, have trouble using brand new versions of PHPUnit and a very old version of PhpSpec, as they both require different versions of sebastian/exporter. I recommend upgrading to a recent version of PhpSpec.

Thanks Sam.
