I’m trying to run “Debug” (for step-debugging with #Xdebug) in #PhpStorm while running a #Pest test. I do this all the time with standard #PHPUnit tests, and I’ve never had this problem…
The test runner stops immediately, and PhpStorm reports in the debug console, “Test framework quit unexpectedly.”
Has anyone else seen this error? Do you know what causes it?
So, it turns out, if you want to name your test files something like example.pest.php, then PhpStorm decides it doesn’t like you, but if you name them example.php (or ExampleTest.php as recommended by Pest), then step debugging with PhpStorm (with Xdebug) works.
The reason I got this error was solely because of the .pest.php extension.
I remove the 'suffix' attribute because PHPUnit defaults to 'Test.php' as the file suffix. I've not used Pest, but looking at your config screenshot, you're using the same phpunit.xml config so wondering whether it's in there by default?
@gwynae Yep, must be something fouled in that project. I just started a brand new project, installed Pest, and then ran Debug against one of the example tests, and step debugging works just fine.
