Comment (by isabel_brison):

 I tested this using the `test:php` npm script, and found that the tests
 abort no matter what group I name after `--exclude-group`. Output is:


 {{{
 ...........................................................    59 / 12551
 (  0%)
 ...........................................................   118 / 12551
 (  0%)
 ...............................EE..........................   177 / 12551
 (  1%)
 ........................................EE...............E.   236 / 12551
 (  1%)
 .......FF.F.E.EE.FEFFFF....................................   295 / 12551
 (  2%)
 FEFF.FFFFF.EFEF.EFFFF.FFFF.FFF...EEEFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.E   354 / 12551
 (  2%)
 EEFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE..FFFFFFS..FFFFF.FFFFF............-1%
 }}}

 Specifying a `--group` works as expected.

 Something else I noticed is that when passing `--exclude-group`, groups
 that are excluded by default, such as external-http, are no longer
 excluded. Not sure if that's related as those groups work fine when run
 individually.
