php artisan test hows old test cases instead of new ones

[solid moss]

Currently have a problem when I use php artisan test ; I made 5 tests initially and all of them passed. When I removed everything but one test, it kept on showing that 5 tests were being ran, also said that they had errors. (at some point, I think I did config:cache which may have done something, but idk)

I tried php artisan optimize:clear , composer install , and composer clear-cache and came to no luck. At this point, I really dont know what'll work.

Are you sure the files are deleted? If so, the only explanation I can think of is opcache, but that is usually not enabled in for CLI at all

Don't cache the config in dev, absolutely no need to do so. Run php artisan config:clear to remove that cache
