If you are using VVV and want to create a symlink (for example, in order to have your plugins folder outside the Vagrant installation), the following is a way to do it.

Go to your ./Vagrantfile and add the following code:

if vagrant_version >= "1.3.0"
   config.vm.synced_folder "/Users/path/to/your/plugins/folder/", "/srv/www/wordpress-one/wp-content/plugins", :owner => "www-data", :mount_options => [ "dmode=775", "fmode=774" ]
 else
   config.vm.synced_folder "/Users/path/to/your/plugins/folder/", "/srv/www/wordpress-one/wp-content/plugins", :owner => "www-data", :extra => 'dmode=775,fmode=774'
 end

Details:

• In the ./Vagrantfile you should use the param: config.vm.synced_folder
• The first path should point to the folder where you want to keep your plugins
• The second path should point to the Vagrant folder that has the plugins

These are some steps to run PHPUnit on a VVV instance.

1 – SSH into a running Vagrant machine (more info) with this command:

$ vagrant ssh [instance id]

2 – Go to the plugin’s folder with this command:

$ cd /srv/www/wordpress-one/public_html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-admin

3 – Update composer:

$ composer update

4 – Execute tests:

$ vendor/bin/phpunit

4.1 – Install tests if it’s necessary, running:

$ bin/install-wp-tests.sh 'wordpress-one-test' 'wp' 'wp' 'localhost' '5.3.2' 'true' //dbname=wordpress-one-test user=wp password=wp host=localhost wp-version=5.3.2 skip-database-creation=true

And try step 4 again.
