…tests In parallel mode each wrapper worker's serialized TestResult only carries the `numberOfTests` of the *last* file it executed — PHPUnit's Collector overwrites the counter on every `executionStarted` event. When a worker's final file has all of its tests excluded by `--group`/`--exclude-group`, that worker reports `hasTests() === false` even though it ran plenty of tests. If every worker happens to end on such a fully-filtered file, the merged TestResult claims the whole suite was empty. Because PHPUnit 12 enables `failOnEmptyTestSuite` implicitly whenever an explicit test selection is present (TextUI\Configuration\Merger), the run then exits 1 — with a fully green summary and no error output whatsoever. Which worker ends on which file is a timing lottery, so this manifests as a flaky, silent CI failure (likely the root cause of pestphp#1483). Fix: while merging worker results, treat a worker that actually ran tests (`numberOfTestsRun() > 0`) as having tests. Genuinely empty selections (no worker ran anything) still exit non-zero. Deterministic reproduction (before this fix): php bin/pest --parallel --processes=1 --group=filtered-group \ tests/.tests/ParallelGroupFilteredLastFile # Tests: 1 passed (1 assertions) — exit code 1 With `--processes=1` the single worker deterministically ends on ZTest.php, whose only test is outside the filtered group.

it would be amazing if this is gets merged if it fixes this annoying issue @nunomaduro |

thank you! can you target 5.x + add a test? 4.x only gets security fixes now. |

Description:
--parallelruns that use--group/--exclude-groupcan exit 1 with a fully green summary and no error output.Cause: a wrapper worker's serialized
TestResultonly carries thenumberOfTestsof the last file it executed (PHPUnit'sCollectoroverwrites the counter on everyexecutionStarted). If a worker's final file has all tests excluded by the group filter, it reportshasTests() === falsedespite having run tests. When every worker ends on such a file — a timing lottery, hence flaky — the merged result inWrapperRunner::complete()claims the suite was empty, and since PHPUnit 12 enablesfailOnEmptyTestSuiteimplicitly for explicit selections, the run exits 1. The "No tests found" runner warnings are already filtered from the output, so nothing is printed.Deterministic repro (fails before this fix, passes after — added as a test):
php bin/pest --parallel --processes=1 --group=filtered-group tests/.tests/ParallelGroupFilteredLastFile # "Tests: 1 passed (1 assertions)" — exit code 1Fix: while merging worker results, treat a worker with
numberOfTestsRun() > 0as having tests. A companion test ensures genuinely empty selections still exit non-zero.Related:
