Problem

All 15 authentication API tests fail with error:
Class "Redis" not found

Details

Environment: PHP testing environment without Redis extension
Error location: vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Redis\Connectors\PhpRedisConnector.php:80
Affected tests: All tests in Tests\Feature\Auth\AuthenticationTest

Root Cause

The .env file configures CACHE_STORE=redis and REDIS_CLIENT=phpredis, but phpunit.xml only overrides CACHE_STORE=array without disabling Redis entirely.

Proposed Solution

Add to phpunit.xml:
<env name="REDIS_CLIENT" value="null"/\u003e
<env name="REDIS_HOST" value="null"/\u003e

Test Output

Tests: 15 failed, 2 passed (2 assertions)
