Laravel PHP memory exahusted

It is happened to me with laravel 5.1 on php-7 when I was running bunch of unitests.

The solution was - to change memory_limit in php.ini but it should be correct one. So you need one responsible for server, located there:

/etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini

so you need a line with

 memory_limit

After that you need to restart php service

sudo service php7.0-fpm restart

to check if it was changed successfully I used command line to run this:

 php -i

php -i | grep "memory_limit"

the report contained following line

memory_limit => 2048M => 2048M
