PHPUnit 13.4.0

Added

• #6585: executionOrder attribute values and --order-by token lists that spell the order before defects, for example duration-ascending,defects
• #6585: pipeline() on the TestSuite\Sorted event for inspecting which reordering stages were applied
• #6686: Constraint::negatedToString() and Constraint::negatedFailureDescription() for authoring the description of a constraint that is wrapped in LogicalNot
• #6863: Cache which tests a test file contains
• #6957: Allow ordering tests by the time their source files were last modified
• #6958: Select the tests that are in all of several groups
• #6960: Record the order in which methods of mock objects are invoked
• #6964: #[RequiresClass] attribute to skip a test if a class does not exist
• #6995: ChildProcessExtension interface for extensions that need to be bootstrapped in the child process of a test that runs in process isolation
• --coverage-jsonl CLI option and <jsonl> element for the XML configuration file to write a code coverage report in JSONL format, one JSON object per line, that reports uncovered code rather than every executable line
• --timeout CLI option to limit the wall-clock time of the entire test run
• requireCoverageMetadataOnSmallTests, requireCoverageMetadataOnMediumTests, and requireCoverageMetadataOnLargeTests attributes for the XML configuration file to require code coverage metadata depending on the size of a test; these have precedence over requireCoverageMetadata

Changed

• Output printed by a test is now shown in the compact output as a --- OUTPUT: record that is attributed to the test instead of being passed through unformatted; the record is omitted when beStrictAboutOutputDuringTests or --disallow-test-output already reports the output as risky

Deprecated

• #6585: Writing defects before the order for --order-by and executionOrder, which will change meaning in PHPUnit 14
• #6585: depends and no-depends for --order-by and executionOrder
• #6585: Configuring more than one order for --order-by and executionOrder
• #6585: Unknown values for the executionOrder XML configuration attribute, which are currently ignored
• #6686: Constraint::failureDescriptionInContext() and LogicalNot::negate()
• #6999: Class-level #[Group], #[Ticket], #[Small], #[Medium], and #[Large] on parent classes of test classes

Fixed

• Issues that are listed in the baseline are not ignored for tests that are run in a separate process
• A test that is run in process isolation aborts the test run when its result cannot be unserialized, for instance because it returns an object that holds a test double
• A test that uses #[DataProviderClosure] errors when it is run in process isolation
