    //notify defaults to false. If you don't want to use a notifier or worry with errors in this task leave it off
    var options = {debug: false, notify: true} 
    gulp.src('app/tests/*.php')
        .pipe(phpunit('', options)) //empty phpunit path defaults ./vendor/bin/phpunit for windows specify with double back slashes
        
        //both notify and notify.onError will take optional notifier: growlNotifier for windows notifications
        //if options.notify is true be sure to handle the error here or suffer the consequenses!
        .on('error', notify.onError({
            title: 'PHPUnit Failed',
            message: 'One or more tests failed, see the cli for details.'

/* Default Task */

ln place of the phpunit task there is now gulp-phpunit https://github.com/mikeerickson/gulp-phpunit

I'll make the changes here but also working out how to use this recipe https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/blob/master/docs/recipes/pass-params-from-cli.md to pass in the --testsuite parameter when calling gulp or gulp phpunit. For this to work gulp-phpunit will need to accept the option.

This has been incredibly useful, thanks. A gulp-phpunit update would be great.

@benbradley Mr Erickson has updated gulp-phpunit to version 0.0.3 . It is now working with gulp-notify.

Updated the gist removing unnecessary requires, getting rid of the comma separated vars, adding in comments for windows options, and the new phpunit task I'm using now.

It is working great on my Windows system. When you have time can you let me know if I need any Mac specific comments for anything that needs to be done differently?

Thanks

Apparently livereload starts it's own tiny-lr now so no need to create it and pass it in. Will update the file after testing that out.

question, im a newbie in gulp, what shall i put this file in laravel project, asset/ ?
