PhpStorm generates special temporary "wrapping" to execute the tests and get the output in the form it understands better. In your case it's /private/var/folders/qh/xjz1kr297v34pl6zy70_2rl00000gn/T/ide-phpunit.php. Since the error says there is a syntax error, the first thing you should try is deleting it, on the next run the IDE will create the new one, hopefully without that problem.

If that doesn't help, as suggested in the comments, try downgrading the PHPUnit a few versions back, see if that helps. Alternatively try reinstalling the PhpStorm. If that doesn't work, you have better chances of finding an answer by reporting an issue to the dev team.
