Description
What Happened
I have copied the test structure from Pinkary, with an Arch folder and an ArchTest.php file in the root. I have added a new testsuite to phpunit.xml with the folder and file. The file is not included when running pest --arch, until I add it to the testsuite with a backslash.
<testsuite name="Arch">
<directory>tests/Arch</directory>
<file>tests/ArchTest.php</file>
<file>tests\ArchTest.php</file><!-- If I add this it automatically runs on Windows -->
</testsuite>
I believe this to be a Windows issue because of the backward slash. Also, it's possible that it is a PHPUnit issue, but I thought that I'd open it here first and get some feedback.
How to Reproduce
- Install Pinkary project on Windows machine
- Run
pest --archand see thatArchTest.phpis not included - Add
<file>tests\ArchTest.php</file>with backslash to testsuite inphpunit.xml - Run
pest --archagain and see that the file is included

Research direction
Start with the testsuite entries in phpunit.xml and reproduce the issue using pest --arch on Windows with the paths shown. Trace how ArchTest.php is discovered when the path uses forward versus backslashes; done means the file runs without requiring the extra backslash entry.
