If setUpBeforeClass() throws an exception, no failures or errors are reported in the PHPUnit's JUnit XML output. Why?
Example test class:
<?php
class Test extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
public static function setUpBeforeClass() {
throw new \Exception('masks all failures in xml output');
}
public function testFoo() {
$this->fail('failing');
}
}
Command line:
phpunit --verbose --log-junit out.xml Test.php
Console output:
