php - Mark a PHPUnit test class as to be ignored

Question

I have written an abstract test case class that is to be extended by concrete test case classes.

It extends from the PHPUnit_TestCase.

Is there a method or annotation that signals Phpunit to not execute this abstract test (but does not mark it as skipped or incomplete)?

Right now Phpunit runs the abstract test class as well and then reports an error that it can not instantiate it - which is by language: An abstract class can not be instantiated.

Answer 1

Just add the skip on the setUp():

protected function setUp()
{
    $this->markTestIncomplete();
}
