[Bug]: Fatal incompatibility between Hamcrest and PEST

[vbulash]

What Happened

Run Pest results:

vbulash@iMac-Valerij 12:00:13 ~/PhpstormProjects/example-app # ./vendor/bin/pest .
PHP Fatal error:  Declaration of Hamcrest\Core\CombinableMatcherTest::setUp() must be compatible with PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase::setUp(): void in /Users/vbulash/PhpstormProjects/example-app/vendor/hamcrest/hamcrest-php/tests/Hamcrest/Core/CombinableMatcherTest.php on line 10

   ERROR  Fatal error: Declaration of Hamcrest\Core\CombinableMatcherTest::setUp() must be compatible with PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase::setUp(): void in /Users/vbulash/PhpstormProjects/example-app/vendor/hamcrest/hamcrest-php/tests/Hamcrest/Core/CombinableMatcherTest.php on line 10.

How to Reproduce

Newly installed Laravel 11 example-app by:

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app
npm install && npm run build

then install Pest:

composer remove phpunit/phpunit
composer require pestphp/pest --dev --with-all-dependencies

Run Pest (still without any tests):

./vendor/bin/pest .

Using . as a selector will search for all tests in the current directory, including vendor/. This includes tests from Hamcrest because they haven't excluded them from releases (they did in 2022, but haven't done a subsequent release).

Try just running vendor/bin/pest to use the locations from the phpunit.xml configuration.

Unfortunately, PHPStorm automation substitute folder as '.' and there is no way to change it to 'tests'.
Yes, it's not problem of Pest.

But when I change Pest command line with existing Laravel app from auto-generated /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/vendor/bin/pest --teamcity --configuration /var/www/html/phpunit.xml . to /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/vendor/bin/pest --teamcity --configuration /var/www/html/phpunit.xml tests, then Pest didn't see DB connection:
