[Bug]: Skipped installation of bin bin/paratest.bat for package brianium/paratest: name conflicts with an existing file

[mikkolukas]

If this looks familiar, it is because it is a regression of #928 (or the bug was never fixed in the first place)

Running composer clearcache as @nunomaduro mentioned before closing the bug, does not solve the problem.

We are all humans, but it is a bit embarrassing to have a testing framework of all things to fail on such a simple bug as this when it have already been addressed and closed. One could imagine that a test had been written since #928 that ensured the bug would not appear again?

Did you ever find a solution?

[mikkolukas]

I can confirm the issue have existed since pest 2.0.1, which is the version where brianium/paratest was introduced.

[mikkolukas]

It turns out the bug is actually with paratestphp/paratest. I have created a bug report paratestphp/paratest#858 there too.

It bugs me though, that pestphp/pest have not created a bug report about it, as it makes noise in the pestphp/pest camp.

I've tried replicating this using your replication example, and was unable to on my macOS, Windows, or Ubuntu environments.

But I think as this is a Paratest issue, not a Pest issue, it's good to solve it there. Thanks for opening an issue in their repository. 👍🏻

run "composer update" three times and all is fine. I know, it is not a solution but a workaround.

This bug have just been fixed one hour ago in paratestphp/paratest 7.5.0

That same release is completely dropping Windows support. Tagging @nunomaduro here.
