"The class `Tests\TestCase` was not found." - on CI (Docker)

[Enaah]

Hi there,

so here's my situation:

• I wanted to convert my PHPUnit Tests to Pest
• I'm on a fresh laravel/breeze Installation
• On my Mac everything runs correctly, but on CI (GitLab Runner, with Docker Executor (image: edbizarro/gitlab-ci-pipeline-php:7.4)), it fails

What I did to debug:

1. Used php artisan test instead of ./vendor/bin/pest
2. I did all the commands to debug:

   php artisan clear
   php artisan cache:clear
   php artisan config:clear
   composer dump-autoload

   even did a fresh cloning of the repo.

3. removed all test but one example test

Do I miss anything?

Went through the docs 2 times and couldn't find anything.

Thanks in advance!

@Enaah Have you installed Pest for Laravel correctly?

[Enaah]

I hope so.

Pulled it via composer and did php artisan pest:install. It was working on my computer, but CI did not want to work.

Will try it again, later.

Found the error... it was me. As usual.

Sorry for disturbance and thanks for this project 💐
