Comment (by takuword):

 Yes I saw the console messages. No need to copy .env.example :)
 OK, I understand your context as well ( = not doing the test against the
 test suite) now.

 > First, I understand that you had to copy my old `Dockerfile` and the old
 `docker-compose.yml` because with my last update, I had to remove them for
 acceptance.

 > You must know, that when you execute `npm run env:start` the
 `.env.example` file moves into `.env` automatically, you don't need to
 copy it manually.
 >
 > Also, the `wp-tests-config.php` is just for the `test:php` suite. But
 here we are not testing against the suite, but manually in the web
 interface. What I was asking, for testing purposes, was to simply do a
 Core upgrade from the WordPress Updates menu (inside the WP web
 interface).

 > So now everything makes sense on what you were explaining. It was really
 strange that using a docker system, it worked for you and did not work for
 me.
 >
 > About the failing tests you see, I don't think you can simply switch the
 `FS_METHOD` to `ftpext` in the `wp-tests-config.php` and still make them
 pass. But I really think they still should be passing. Definitely
 something to look further into. The test suite is fragile for certain edge
 cases, like this particular one (anything FTP). Maybe you could open a new
 ticket with this casuistry.
