Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: ParaTest\Logging\LogInterpreter::mergeReaders #1039
Description
| Q | A |
|---|---|
| ParaTest version | 6.11.1 |
| PHPUnit version | 9.6.29 |
| PHP version | 8.4.5, 8.3.10 |
Summary
Fatal TypeError in LogInterpreter::mergeReaders when generating a JUnit report for a file with zero tests.
Current behavior
When running ParaTest with the --log-junit option on a test file that results in "0 tests, 0 assertions", it throws a fatal error instead of generating the report.
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: ParaTest\Logging\LogInterpreter::mergeReaders(): Return value must be of type ParaTest\Logging\JUnit\TestSuite, null returned in /var/www/html/vendor/brianium/paratest/src/Logging/LogInterpreter.php:93
How to reproduce: command, code and error stack trace
- Create a PHPUnit test file that contains no actual tests (or is empty), for example
./tests/Unit/SissueUnitTest.php. - Run ParaTest with the
--log-junitflag targeting that specific file. - The following command will trigger the error:
./vendor/bin/paratest --processes=4 --testdox --log-junit=results.xml ./tests/Unit/SissueUnitTest.php

ParaTest should not throw a fatal error when running against a test file that contains zero tests. It should generate a valid, possibly empty, JUnit XML report file (results.xml) and exit gracefully.
