Pest gives no output at all when running some tests

[parapente]

I have come across something really strange using pest that hasn't occured in the past. Right now I have in my project only the tests that Laravel Jetstream installs and after some changes I did to the models and routes I expected that running ./vendor/bin/pest I would get multiple errors on the test files. On the contrary pest seems to ignore most of the test files as I get no pass or fail on the tests:

   PASS  Tests\Unit\ExampleTest
  ✓ that true is true                                                                                                                                            0.01s  

   WARN  Tests\Feature\ApiTokenPermissionsTest
  - api token permissions can be updated → API support is not enabled.                                                                                           0.18s  

(the output is not truncated, this is the only output I get from the 14 files in tests/Feature)

I even tried specifying the test file using ./vendor/bin/pest tests/Feature/AuthenticationTest.php which returns with no output at all. The error code on the terminal is 0 as if all went well but something must cause pest to return before running the tests. I tried using:

        <ini name="log_errors" value="On" ></ini>
        <ini name="display_errors" value="On"></ini>
        <ini name="error_log" value="/tmp/error.log"></ini>

in phpunit.xml but didn't get any php error. I also updated pest to the latest version but didn't fix the issue. Do you have any ideas what could be the problem or what should I do to find what causes it?

I found the reason why and it wasn't pest's fault. Using subfission/cas to create a middleware seemed to cause the PHP script execution to exit and not throw an exception. As a result pest would also exit silently. I'm leaving this here in case someone else gets into a similar problem. I have already created a pull request which helps fix the problem: subfission/cas#124
