Comment:

 [47904] would prevent the tests from running when `WP_TESTS_DOMAIN` or
 `WP_TESTS_EMAIL` are not defined, however this points to bigger/other
 problems. `WP_TESTS_DOMAIN` and `WP_TESTS_EMAIL` are defined in
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/5.4.1/wp-tests-config-
 sample.php#L68 and should always be present.

 As far as I see the actual problem here is that `wp-tests-config.php` is
 not present (loaded), or that not all of the constants (settings) there
 are replaced when that file is not used. Perhaps it would be better to
 validate that all needed constants are present while doing the bootstrap
 instead of attempting to run and failing.
