How to skip tests in PHPunit

Question

I am using phpunit in connection with jenkins, and I want to skip certain tests by setting the configuration in the XML file phpunit.xml

I know that I can use on the command line:

phpunit --filter testStuffThatBrokeAndIOnlyWantToRunThatOneSingleTest

how do I translate that to the XML file since the <filters> tag is only for code-coverage?

I would like to run all tests apart from testStuffThatAlwaysBreaks

Hello,

The fastest and easiest way to skip tests that are either broken or you need to continue working on later is to just add the following to the top of your individual unit test:

$this->markTestSkipped('must be revisited.');

Hope it helps!!
Thank You!!
