The spacemacs php layer bundles together lots of nice little features. I'm not sure which bits comes from where, but currently just the basic usage of SPC m g g to jump to definition is super handy already for spelunking around in vendor libraries.

Was getting this error in Emacs when trying to run PHPUnit tests via phpunit.el. It's possible to change the location of the phpunit executable via phpunit-set-dir-local-variable, but I wondered why it wasn't working out of the box (when it was on another project). Turns out that a long time ago this particular project had the bin-dir setting in composer.json set to something else, rather than the standard vendor/bin (see https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/vendor-binaries.md).

I just changed it back to the standard location, and phpunit worked fine again.
