Mutation Testing for PHPUnit's own test suite

Question	Answer
Infection version	0.28.1
Test Framework version	PHPUnit 11.1-dev
PHP version	8.3.4
Platform	Fedora
Github Repo	https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit

The Finished class has a public method named test.

Infection's PublicVisibility mutator replaces public and protected and Infection then claims that this mutation survived, as can be seen in this screenshot:

However, when I perform this mutation manually ...

diff --git a/src/Event/Events/Test/Lifecycle/Finished.php b/src/Event/Events/Test/Lifecycle/Finished.php
index 72032cf71..ae75d35c1 100644

     }
 
-    public function test(): Code\Test
+    protected function test(): Code\Test
     {
         return $this->test;
     }

... and try to run PHPUnit's test suite then I get this error:

$ ./phpunit --testsuite unit
PHPUnit 11.1-gb18d5f2fe3 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

Runtime:       PHP 8.3.4
Configuration: /usr/local/src/phpunit/phpunit.xml

.

An error occurred inside PHPUnit.

The mutation causes an error in PHPUnit's test runner that is not specific to a single test. Maybe mutating the test framework's / test runner's code so that it no longer works is a very special case? :)

$ cd phpunit

$ git show --oneline -s
