It is showing this error -

Execute tests (Unit and Feature tests) via PHPUnit
Run php artisan test
Warning: TTY mode requires /dev/tty to be read/writable.
PHPUnit 9.5.21 #StandWithUkraine

Test directory "/home/runner/work/laravel-docker-enviroment/laravel-docker-enviroment/src/./tests/Feature" not found
Error: Process completed with exit code 2.

I tried as well run like -

 - name: Execute tests (Unit and Feature tests) via PHPUnit
        working-directory: ./src
       run: vendor/bin/phpunit
 - name: Execute tests (Unit and Feature tests) via PHPUnit
        working-directory: ./src
       run: ./vendor/bin/phpunit
     - name: Execute tests (Unit and Feature tests) via PHPUnit
       run: ./vendor/bin/phpunit
     - name: Execute tests (Unit and Feature tests) via PHPUnit
       run: php ./vendor/bin/phpunit
     - name: Execute tests (Unit and Feature tests) via PHPUnit
       working-directory: ./src
       run: php ./vendor/bin/phpunit

Do you have a Feature folder in tests?

Curious why the whole app is inside src? I have never seen this before
