Comment:

 I concur with @ayeshrajans here. Tests which depend on certain environment
 elements should be skipped if the environment does not comply, not failed.

 IF the tests have hard requirements for the environment and we want builds
 to fail on a mismatched environment, a check for those requirements should
 be added to the test bootstrap file instead with a helpful error message
 followed by a `die(1)` to make the test run fail.

 (in addition to the Composer `ext` requirements as suggested by
 @ayeshrajans)
