[Bug]: Coverage not found in path

[thomas-0816]

What Happened

Running multiple processes of pest in parallel create a crash with "ShouldNotHappen" for "vendor/pestphp/pest/.temp/coverage.php". e.g. first process deletes the coverage.php from the second process

Using "--cache-directory=/tmp/foo" still writes coverage.php to "vendor/pestphp/pest/.temp/coverage.php".

Ideally, pest should not write into "vendor/*".

My recommendation:

• write coverage.php to "--cache-directory" if given
• if coverage.php cannot be written, stop with an error

How to Reproduce

e.g. use "--cache-directory=/tmp/foo" and make vendor/pestphp/pest/.temp/ readonly

Expectation:

• coverage.php gets written to /tmp/foo/coverage.php

Output:

   Pest\Exceptions\ShouldNotHappen 

  This should not happen - please create an new issue here: https://github.com/pestphp/pest.

A quick workaround might be:

vendor/pestphp/pest/src/Support/Coverage.php

final class Coverage
{
    /**
     * Returns the coverage path.
     */
    public static function getPath(): string
    {
        static $file = null;

        $file ??= tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'pest') . 'coverage.php';

        return $file;
    }
