Having the same issue on Bitbucket pipelines. Did you try with --parallel as the first option?

Finally found the solution for me at least. Seems to have to do with composer not installing the scripts in version 2.7 onwards. Adding COMPOSER_ALLOW_SUPERUSER=1 solved the issue. Seems related to https://github.com/pestphp/pest/issues/94

Can someone pull request this to the documentation?

Does using composer config allow-plugins.pestphp/pest-plugin to add the Pest Plugin as an allowed Composer plugin in the composer.json not work? 🤔 That way, it only enables the Pest plugin (rather than allowing any scripts to run with SU access).

I'm afraid not, it returns this message (in Bitbucket at least):

Composer plugins have been disabled for safety in this non-interactive session.
Set COMPOSER_ALLOW_SUPERUSER=1 if you want to allow plugins to run as root/super user.
