PHPUnit in a pipeline always returns 0 even with --debug flag

[Artur Stępień]

Hello. I did bump into a bug I can figure out. Would be glad for any help.

I have a pipeline configured like this:

# You can specify a custom docker image from Docker Hub as your build environment.
image: phpunit/phpunit:6.5.3

pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        name: Testing
        caches:
          - composer
          - node
        script:
          - composer build-dev
          - php --version
          - composer --version
          - phpunit --version
          - phpunit -c phpunit.xml --debug

A proper configuration phpunit.xml file that works on a local environment just fine. But when the pipeline runs phpunit always returns 0 when running the tests. Same goes for running with --testdox attribute.

Here is the phpunit.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<phpunit 
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="phpunit.xsd"
         bootstrap="tests/bootstrap.php"
         colors="true" 
         convertErrorsToExceptions="true"
         convertNoticesToExceptions="true"
         convertWarningsToExceptions="true"
         processIsolation="false"
         stopOnFailure="false"
         syntaxCheck="true"
         verbose="true"
         defaultTestSuite="Unit"
    >
    <testsuites>
        <testsuite name="Unit">
            <directory suffix="Test.php">tests/Unit</directory>
        </testsuite>
        <testsuite name="Feature">
            <directory suffix="Test.php">tests/Feature</directory>
        </testsuite>
    </testsuites>
</phpunit>

Tried everything I could imagine and (even local phpunit/phpunit docker image to debug and it behaves the same).

My bad, that was the application issue and it is not related with bitbucket, pipeline or phpunit. I suppose there is no option to remove the question? If so I will at least explain what caused it. If application quit in any point of the execution for example with die() or exit() and the status is 0 (which is by default) pipeline will detect it as a success. So if you're having the same issue, just try to detect where script stops with for eg. register_shutdown_function()
