Codeception: Codecoverage: [PHP Warning] Unexpected character in input: ''

Created on 5 Jun 2014 · 3Comments · Source: Codeception/Codeception

Hello,
finally I have codeception working at development machines.

Codeception PHP Testing Framework v1.8.5
Powered by PHPUnit 3.7.37 by Sebastian Bergmann.

PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4 (cli) (built: Apr  9 2014 17:08:27) 
Copyright (c) 1997-2014 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.5.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2014 Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v7.0.3, Copyright (c) 1999-2014, by Zend Technologies
    with Xdebug v2.2.3, Copyright (c) 2002-2013, by Derick Rethans

I also tried with a machine with PHP 5.4.29 with Xdebug.

I have c3.php installed and it seems to work, but when I try to get coverage information i get spammed with this warning repeated over and over, if I redirect standard output to a file, that file ends with more than 300Mb!

Ascii codes changes over and over.

Just after the last warning I also see that error:

     [exec] 
     [exec] 
     [exec]                                                      
     [exec]   FATAL ERROR. TESTS NOT FINISHED.
     [exec]   Allowed memory size of 1073741824 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 238 bytes) 
     [exec]                                                      
     [exec] 
     [exec]

I've also noticed that c3tmp/codecoverage.serialized file seems to be a binary file, and has a size of 2.9Mb, it has some 0x00 characters. I can open the file and see what seem to be a badly formatted json file, but I don't know what that file should look like.

Any clue?
