 * On Windows 10, running the latest VVV, trying to get unit tests working.
 * Following the directions on [https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/plugin-unit-tests/](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/plugin-unit-tests/)
 * Everything seems ok, the `bin` and `tests` dirs are created in the targeted plugin.
   
   As are the yml and dist files.
 * But when I run phpunit, the result is always `No tests executed!`
 * I’m new to phpunit, so I’m hoping it is something simple.
 * Here is the log for an attempt: [https://pastebin.com/9Tc1JhZr](https://pastebin.com/9Tc1JhZr)

 * Correction; here is the log for an attempt: [https://gist.github.com/shanebp/bd11a2c9612ef92dea19071d4acd5ab3](https://gist.github.com/shanebp/bd11a2c9612ef92dea19071d4acd5ab3)

 * From slack cli:
 * > By default, the code includes one sample test, but that test is excluded through
   > the PHPUnit config file to not actually run. So if you didn’t add any tests,“
   > No tests executed!” is the correct output to expect.
 * I was expecting a single assertion to indicate everything was working properly
   before writing my tests.
