I'm working with Symfony, and the library fzaninotto/faker
I'm using this library to test some stuff, but when running phpunit I have this error:
Error: Class 'Faker\Factory' not found
As usual I'm using the right use Faker\Factory;
As you can see is required only in my dev and I installed it running composer install
composer.json

Possibly my solution is not the best, But instead of the recommended pack "Use Symfony's bridge: composer require --dev phpunit"
I decided to install the usual "composer require --dev phpunit/phpunit ^6.5"
Then everything worked as expected.
