Invalid XML generated when both PCOV and Xdebug are loaded #1131
Description
| Q | A |
|---|---|
| php-code-coverage version | 12.5.1 |
| PHP version | 8.3.28 |
| Driver | PCOV / Xdebug |
| PCOV version (if used) | 1.0.12 |
| Xdebug version (if used) | 3.5.0 |
| Installation Method | Composer |
| Usage Method | PHPUnit |
| PHPUnit version (if used) | 12.5.4 |
I have created a script that loads the XML coverage file, generated by phpunit, to publish some statistics of our codebase. Since the latest version of php-code-coverage, I am unable to load the XML file with the following error:
PHP Warning: simplexml_load_file(): index.xml:5: parser error : Attribute name redefined
PHP Warning: simplexml_load_file(): <driver name="xdebug" version="3.5.0" name="pcov" version="1.0.12"/>
Looking at the XML file, I can see that the name attribute is used twice on the driver tag which is invalid XML:
<driver name="xdebug" version="3.5.0" name="pcov" version="1.0.12"/>We use PCOV in our pipelines where the phpunit job is executed using a PHP image that has Xdebug enabled by default. We don't really need Xdebug so we can use another image to work around this issue, but I just wanted to report that when using a combination of Xdebug and PCOV, invalid XML is being generated which can not be loaded by the simplexml_load_file function.
