strict_types declaration must be the very first statement in the script

[13-Feb-2020 17:56:55 UTC] PHP Fatal error: strict_types declaration must be the very first statement in the script in /srv/www/vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit on line 2

The code style that's being used here, while not a bad style, isn't what the interpreter expects (it seems). Can this just be updated to conform instead of trying to go against the grain?

Which version of PHPUnit and PHP are you using?

So, it seems the issue is that I'm trying to include the CLI script. Since it's not executed via a shell, the interpreter is complaining. That's unfortunate though since I have a direct need to wrap PHPUnit, in order to execute code before and after the process.

This is with PHP 7.4

[sebastianbergmann]

The script is not meant to be included.

If you need to run code before the first test and/or after the last test then you should write an extension that hooks into PHPUnit's test runner.

I'll look into that. Thanks.
