How are you running your tests; inside PHPStorm, or on the commandline?

phpunit.xml does not use my sqlite settings
I start to learn testing. After a lot of tests I realized, that even if i setup my phpunit.xml to use sqlite, it uses my main database, which is mysql.
I have this in my phpunit.xml:
<server name="APP_ENV" value="testing"/>
<server name="BCRYPT_ROUNDS" value="4"/>
<server name="CACHE_DRIVER" value="array"/>
<server name="MAIL_DRIVER" value="array"/>
<server name="QUEUE_CONNECTION" value="sync"/>
<server name="SESSION_DRIVER" value="array"/>
<server name="DB_CONNECTION" value="sqlite" />
<server name="DB_DATABASE" value=":memory:" />
I don't want to use my production database for all my tests. I think it is better to use another one. But what have I forgot?

With terminal while inside homestead/vagrant.
- vagrant ssh
- phpunit --filter=myTestFile

Does phpunit refer to you project's dependency or a globally installed PHPUnit? If you alias phpunit, what do you see?
Level 12
output is: alias phpunit='vendor/bin/phpunit'

Do you by any chance set the connection on your models?
protected $connection = 'mysql';
Level 12
No. I dont set this be my own. I have the default user model and then another one:
class Trailer extends Model
{
protected $fillable = [
'title', 'tmdb_movie_id', 'site', 'key', 'size'
];
}

At the top it says the following?
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
Where did you place phpunit.xml? In the project root?
Level 12
Yes. This is done by laravel as default. I changed nothing. I just set the two lines in phpunit.xml which is in root folder. Laravel comes with phpunit out of the box.

Ok. After a lot of hours i found the problem. It was my fault... I ever was thinking that
php artisan config:cache
does the same as
php artisan config:clear & php artisan cache:clear
But that isn't so... not sure why... but when i do the second version (first config:clear then cache:clear) it works.

Why are you caching your config in a local/testing environment at all?
