Access phpunit group parameter inside bootstrap

Question

I am using phpunit to test a large php project. The tests are organised in groups using @group annotation. I also have a phpunit.xml file in the root directory of my tests, which, among other things, specifies the bootstrap php file. In that file, I perform some general initialisation before running the tests.

I can run phpunit on the whole project by simply executing phpunit or I can run it for individual groups with phpunit --group ... command. So far, so good.

Now I want my initialisation inside the bootstrap.php to do different things depending on the group that was specified when phpunit was invoked. Yet I cannot find any information on how to access that data inside my bootstrap. Is there any way to find out inside my boostrap.php whether --group ... parameter has been passed and, if yes, what the ... value was specified?

Update: I'm running on PHP 5.5 if it makes any difference.

Why is this tagged 'bootstrap'?

@amphetamachine Why not? Read the description of the tag.

Ah, my mistake. Boostrap is a widely misused tag.

Ok, I gave up a bit too early. All of the parameters are passed inside $_SERVER['argv'], hence

print_r($_SERVER['argv']);

produces something like this:

Array ( [0] => /usr/bin/phpunit [1] => --group [2] => abc )
