Do you have Event::fake(); somewhere in your tests?

Laravel 12 CommandFinished does not run for php artisan test
I would like to implement some logic after all tests in Laravel 12 application finished. I found this blog from 2024 https://laravel.com/docs/12.x/events#main-content which is based on CommandFinished native event. So I made a CommandFinishedListener. If I run php artisan event:list I see the lister in the list. So it is obviously registered. If I run any command it works BUT as I run php artisan test the listener does not run. All tests pass but the event does not trigger. Thanks for any help.
<?php
namespace App\Listeners;
use App\Services\BaseService;
use Illuminate\Console\Events\CommandFinished;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;
class CommandFinishedListener
{
/**
* Create the event listener.
*/
public function __construct()
{
//
}
/**
* Handle the event.
*/
public function handle(CommandFinished $event)
{
Log::info('CommandFinishedListener: ' . $event->command); // Any other command log this line for example php artisan event:list
if ($event->command === 'test') {
// Do something...
}
}
}

No Event::fake() is not in any of tests

Try to place in AppServiceProvider:
public function boot(): void
{
Event::listen(function (CommandFinished $event) {
Log::debug($event::class . " was finished; command = {$event->command}");
});
}
I get proper event and log record when I launch php artisan test and tests pass:
[2025-12-17 15:25:22] local.DEBUG: Illuminate\Console\Events\CommandFinished was finished; command = test

Did you try also the Listener class? Do you have the same behaviours with test command?

No success. This implementation behave the same way. As I run any command like cache:clear it works but as I run test it does not log anything.

Try to launch one single test, preferably empty or very simple, using php artisan test --filter VerySimpleTest option. Do you see event dispatched?
Level 3
No I do not see the event if the command is test. What version of Laravel do you have? Any other command works as expected but not php artisan test.

I checked on v12.25.0.

As I found out the CommandFinished is not allowed by default in Laravel 12 in tests https://laravel.com/docs/12.x/console-tests#console-events It has to be allowed by adding trait use WithConsoleEvents. But it does not work although I add the trait to the script.

This is not true it is related only to commands tests - when test testing some command
