I have a problem with my unit/functional tests. I’m using PHP 7.2, PHPUnit 8.5 and Codeception 4.1. My tests run perfectly well when running them normally, but for some reason if I try to generate code coverage for functional or unit tests using PCOV, they immediately stop without any warning or error output.
vendor/codeception/codeception/codecept --ansi run unit --phpunit-xml --no-exit --coverage-xml
Codeception PHP Testing Framework v4.1.16
Powered by PHPUnit 8.5.14 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

When I use xdebug instead of PCOV, I am able to run the tests and generate coverage without running into any problems.
Does anyone have any idea what could cause this?
For anyone running into a similar problem, I found the solution.
Opcache seems to cause problems when runnning tests with PCOV in PHP 7.2, disabling it fixed the problem and the tests run fine now.
