Description

We have roughly 16,000 PHPUnit tests in our project, and we've run into this issue each time we've tried to add Boost to the project (first around 3 months ago, and most recently today).

When running boost:install, the install determines if tests are present in the project by calling php artisan test --list-tests using the Symfony Process component. It has the default timeout of 60 seconds applied, and it hits this timeout each time we try.

If I run the command manually in the terminal it completes in 1 second. Increasing the Process timeout has no effect, it seems as if it's hanging indefinitely.

If I change determineTestEnforcement() to instead call phpunit directly, it succeeds:

$process = new Process([PHP_BINARY, 'vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit', '--list-tests'], base_path());

There are couple of options to address this:

• Detect Pest or PHPUnit and call the binary directly. Boost already detects whenever the Pest or PHPUnit packages are installed.
• Add a prompt to ask the user manually if they want to include testing guidelines.

Steps To Reproduce

Honestly I'm not sure; there could be something specific to our codebase that is modifying the output of php artisan test --list-tests in a way that affects the process component.

I tries this with application having 60000+ test and its working fine.

If you're hitting this, you can work around it by setting enforce_tests in your config/boost.php:

'enforce_tests' => true,

This skips the test detection entirely.
