Clarify interaction of `--no-output` with other CLI options that control output

[llaville]

Q	A
PHPUnit version	11.5.34
PHP version	8.3.6
Installation Method	Composer v2

Summary

Need to clarify behaviour in https://docs.phpunit.de/en/11.5/textui.html#versions-and-configuration context

Current behavior

When other flags are specified before the --no-output, results are printed, while if there are only --no-output flag, nothing is printed on standard output

For example :

How to reproduce

1. Any source code with unit tests seems to be enough.
2. Try to print results in testdox format like : vendor/bin/phpunit --no-extensions --testdox --no-output
3. And compare to standard vendor/bin/phpunit --no-extensions --no-output (nothing printed)

[sebastianbergmann]

This works as intended: when --no-output is used then there will be no output, regardless of other output-related options that may be used.

[llaville]

But it's here there are results printed (seen screenshot)

[sebastianbergmann]

I was/am confused, sorry for the noise.

[llaville]

I've same unexpected results with --no-results, do you want a separate issue report ?

No.

FYI, here are results I got

BTW, I prefer colorized results obtained with --testdox rather than --testdox-text that do no show difference between skipped and incomplete tests
