Issue
I have output from running a test suite with phpunit. I understand that periods (.) mean a passed test, but what does a comma (,) mean?

PHPUnit 6.1.3 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.
..............................F...,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

.......... 63 / 145 ( 43%)
Solution
If you take the string
..............................F...,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,....,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,E..,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,...........,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
..........
and remove new lines, it amounts to 300 characters.
If we remove the ,, it amounts to 63 characters, which matches the progress output from phpunit:
63 / 145
That is, as @Hollings suggested, you are echoing a , repeatedly in your tests somewhere.
You can adjust your phpunit.xml to be as strict as possible about risky tests:
<phpunit
beStrictAboutOutputDuringTests="true"
verbose="true"
>
<testsuites>
...
</testsuites>
</phpunit>
Specifically, you are looking to enable this option
beStrictAboutOutputDuringTests="true"
in combination with enabled verbosity
verbose="true"
If you then run the tests, phpunit will let you know which tests cause output, for example:
PHPUnit 6.1.3 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.
Runtime: PHP 7.1.5
Configuration: /Users/am/Sites/stackoverflow/45547842/phpunit.xml
R,
Time: 43 ms, Memory: 4.00MB
There was 1 risky test:
1) FooTest::testBar
This test printed output: ,
