Running phpunit from within PhpStorm wipes out local database

Hi there!

I am new to PhpStorm. I installed PHP 7.1 using Homebrew on Mac OS X High Siera and have a local development environment setup for a laravel project. I setup PhpStorm to use PHPUnit for testing. I can run "phpunit" command from terminal just fine, however, when I run it from inside of PhpStorm, it runs but it also wipes out my whole local database (I checked using SequelPro). Any help regarding this would be appreciated.
