The TestCommand uses ignoreValidationErrors to allow it to accept and pass through arbitrary options to phpunit/paratest. For example it does not define `--stop-on-error` but can pass it through to phpunit. A side effect of this is that the order of options matters, e.g. `php artisan test -p --recreate-databases --stop-on-error` does recreate databases, while `php artisan test -p --stop-on-error --recreate-databases` does not. This appears to be because when the validator hits an option it does not know about, it stops processing and any subsequent options cannot be resolved via $this->option. It looks like this was previously handled when passing through options to phpunit/paratest but was not handled when setting environment variables, this change fixes that.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
No idea if this fixes it, but I just spent a chunk of time painfully wondering why this was occurring. Trying to find TestCommand in Laravel to learn it was part of Collision, to then this PR.
Thanks for fix - hope it gets merged.

I also found this issue today and wondered why it wasn't working, then found my way here. I manually applied this PR to my dev environment (still using Laravel v10.48.29 and nunomaduro/collision v7.11.0) but it did allow my command to run. Before this PR: After this PR: This anecdote doesn't prove this PR works for all other options combinations, but appears solved for the above scenario with Paratest. |

Hi @nunomaduro ,
Thanks for maintaining this project! Hopefully I have explained my change in enough detail below but please let me know if it needs further explanation or changes.
