# Drupal 8 PHPUnit Deprecation Example An example Drupal 8 project that uses PHPUnit to highlight deprecations within custom module code. This project contains an `example` module that uses a deprecated function - `drupal_set_message()`. When the PHPUnit tests are run, the deprecation notice is displayed in the test output: > Remaining deprecation notices (1) > > 1x: drupal_set_message() is deprecated in Drupal 8.5.0 and will be removed before Drupal 9.0.0. Use \Drupal\Core\Messenger\MessengerInterface::addMessage() instead. See https://www.drupal.org/node/2774931 > 1x in DisplayMessageTest::a_message_is_displayed_on_nodes from Drupal\Tests\example\Functional Also, a non-zero exit code is returned. ## Running the tests The project uses [DDEV](https://www.ddev.com) and contains a custom command for running PHPUnit (see [this blog post](https://www.oliverdavies.uk/ddev-phpunit-command) that describes how to add it). To use the command and run the tests: ``` ddev phpunit web/modules/custom ```
