"--coverage-text" CLI option is documented wrong

[mvorisek]

Q	A
PHPUnit version	9.5.1
PHP version	7.4
Installation Method	Composer

Summary

--coverage-text <file> as per https://phpunit.readthedocs.io/en/9.5/textui.html should accept <file>. But when <file> is set, phpunit fails.

Other formats work well with <file> option set.

Current behavior

PHPUnit 9.5.1 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.
Cannot open file "/builds/coverage_phpunit.txt".

How to reproduce

phpunit --coverage-text "/builds/coverage_phpunit.txt"

Expected behavior

phpunit does not fail with Cannot open file "/builds/coverage_phpunit.txt" message and coverage text output is saved to the given file.

[sebastianbergmann]

This was a documentation issue. You need to use --coverage-text=file instead of --coverage-text file.

Thanks - other options remain without =, right? Is this welcomed to be normalized or you want to keep it like that for BC?

[sebastianbergmann]

--coverage-text is special in that its parameter is optional. There is nothing to be normalized here.
