In my Laravel project I have 1349 tests. I try to run phpunit in a Docker container. Some test are failing, but it's not a problem.

When I start phpunit with this command:

docker-compose run --rm phpunit --coverage-html

Then I get this output:

E.I.F....FFFF............FF.FF...............................   61 / 1349 (  4%)
.............................................................  122 / 1349 (  9%)
.............................................................  183 / 1349 ( 13%)
...........................djw@DESKTOP $

The djw@DESKTOP $ part is my console promt string. It means phpunit died without any error message.

I tried to run phpunit without xdebug. In this case it can run all tests and create an error & fail reports as it should be.

I tried to run phpunit pcov instead of xdebug, it can run also without die.

When I run phpunit without --coverage-html option, it't runs smoothly. But with this option it start tests and new dots showing slowly and slowly and then stops showing new dots. But the processor usage grow up to 100%, memory usage also growing up to 100%, then swap is runs out, and then the container dies.

Based on this test cases I think the problem is with xdebug.

Here is my phpunit.dockerfile:

RUN echo memory_limit = -1 >> /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/docker-php-memlimit.ini;

Is there any option to tell phpunit the maximum usable memory size or something other trick to avoid this issue?
