Laravel phpunit tests Cannot find TestCase object on call stack

Question

An error occurred inside PHPUnit.

but some other tests still work, for example, test_login and test_register works , but when i create a new test sometimes it work sometimes i get this wired error

PS: i add the file path example php artisan test tests/Feature/AccountTest.php --filter test_get_profile i didnt get any error , but i dont what to always include the file path

please note that all tests are empty

public function test_get_profile(): void
    {
        $response = $this->get('/');

        $response->assertStatus(200);
    }
