 I think this page should be updated a little
 https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/testing/automated-
 testing/phpunit/

 If you just follow those instructions, running `phpunit` on the Core fails
 because there is no `build` directory in the downloaded repositories. It
 took me quite some googling before figuring out that I also had to run
 `npm install && grunt build` (and installing the related packages) before
 running `phpunit`. I learnt that from #43055, but it was really tough to
 find!


 I think we should mention that, before running phpunit, one needs to run
 `npm install && grunt build`. I tried to at least post a comment on the
 article myself, but it looks like that's not allowed.

 Let me know if I can be of any further help!
