Steps to reproduce the issue

Run the below code from a terminal

Expected result

JApplication object instatiated, traces are printed to the terminal

Actual result

Instatiation seems to fail when the parent constructor is called. T2 is never printed to the terminal

System information (as much as possible)

Joomla 3.8

Additional comments

Hi There,

I was trying to use the code from the below link to simply instantiate a JApplicationCli object, but it seems that my code just dies when the parent constructor is called. No error message. T1 is printed out on the terminal, but T2 is not. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
