What Happened

Seems to be unable to get serialized test coverage whilst also printing the standard text to console.

# Creates test.cov but gives no text output
vendor/bin/pest --coverage-text --coverage-php=test.cov 

# Prints text, but creates no test.cov due to "WARN  Option --coverage-php cannot be used more than once"
vendor/bin/pest --coverage --coverage-text --coverage-php=test.cov
