php - PHPUnit test passes nothing to the dependent test

I have two tests:

    # it's working correct
    /**
     * @param $params array
     * @param $type bool
     * @dataProvider providerA
     * @covers \Connections\ConnectionTables::checkForeignParams
     * @return bool
     */ 
     public function testA(array $params, bool $type) {
        # if in a method expected an exception 
        if(!$type) {
            try {
                $this->invokeProtectedMethod('checkForeignParams', [$params]);
                $this->fail("Expected Exception has not been raised.");
            } catch (\Exception $ex) {
                $this->assertEquals("Doesn't correct params", $ex->getMessage());
            }
        }
        # else check that method doesn't return anything
        else {
            $this->assertNull($this->invokeProtectedMethod('checkForeignParams',[$params]));
        }
        return $type;
    }

    public function providerA() {
        return [
            [
                ['delete' => 'efwefwe', 'update' => 'wrwerwe'], true
            ],
            [
                ['delete' => 'erwerwer'], true
            ]
        ];
    }

Copy code

And dependent test:

    /**
     * @param $check_value bool
     * @depends testA
     * @covers \Connections\ConnectionTables::foreignKey
     */
    public function testB(bool $check_value) {
         # some logic
    }
Copy code

But I get an error: Argument 1 passed to Tests\Connections\ConnectionTablesTest::testForeignKey() must be of the type bool, null given

Why my test doesn't return anything?
