Phpunit suppressing errors when skipping tests

Hi,

I'm skipping unit tests like so

public function setup(){
        parent::setup();
        if ( ! defined ('TEST_DB')){
            $this->markTestSkipped('skipping db tests');
            return;
        }
        global $_SERVER;
        $_SERVER['TEST_DB'] = 1;
 }

The phpstorm test-runner throws exceptions

E:\app\php\latest\php.exe C:\Users\Willem\AppData\Local\Temp\ide-phpunit.php --configuration E:\home\Willem\proj\php\ikreo\travmedia_new\phpunit.xml

When I run it from the command line I get the expected output which just tells me I've skipped tests without the exception & stacktrace per test.

Is there a way to prevent the exception & stacktrace.

I tried setting convertErrorsToExceptions to false in my phpunit.xml but this didn't have any effect, and it is a bad option anyway as I want errors as exceptions, I just don't need an exception when I'm skipping tests.

Thanks,
Willem
