@beforeClass annotation on Laravel testcase method ignored <p>In my Laravel 5.1 app's base TestCase which extends <code>Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\TestCase</code> I have this method:</p> <pre><code>/** * @beforeClass */ public function resetDatabase() { echo "I never see this message\n"; $this-&gt;artisan("migrate:refresh"); } </code></pre> <p>Other @before and @after annotations in that class is honoured as advertised. Why is this method not called in my unit tests?</p>
