/**

    public function setUp(): void
    {
        parent::setUp();
        $this->faker = Faker::create();
    }

    /**
     * Reset the migrations
     */
    public function tearDown(): void
    {
        $this->artisan('migrate:reset');
        parent::tearDown();
    }

Not stating the return type to void in the functions

Answer 2

Laravel 5.8 added the void typehint to the return type of the setUp method.
So you have to declare that like this:

public function setUp(): void
{
    // you should also call parent::setUp() to properly boot
    // the Laravel application in your tests
    $this->instance = new MyService;
}

Note the : void after the function arguments to state the return type of that function
