How to detect version of PHPUnit

You can get version using PHPUnit_Runner_Version class: https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/blob/3.5/PHPUnit/Runner/Version.php

And based on that - halt your tests execution or do whatever you want.

Works on mac:

phpunit --version

To make the test incomplete for older versions:

    if (
        !method_exists('PHPUnit_Runner_Version','id')
        || version_compare(PHPUnit_Runner_Version::id(), '3.7', '<=')
    ) {
        $this->markTestIncomplete('need phpunit >= 3.7 to run this test');
    }
