Conversation
behat 3.x does not support Symfony 8+. A conditional workflow step patches the behat/behat constraint to 4.x-dev@dev for Symfony 8+ jobs only, keeping the main composer.json on the stable ^3.22 constraint. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…SF 8.1 - Use inline alias "4.x-dev@dev as 3.31.0" so behat 4.x satisfies the ^3.x constraints of friends-of-behat/* packages without removing them - Exclude PHP 8.3 + Symfony 8.1 from the matrix since SF 8.1 requires PHP >=8.4.1 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Drop the @dev stability flag from the inline alias (it caused Composer to treat it as an exact version match rather than an alias), and explicitly set minimum-stability=dev + prefer-stable=true so the 4.x-dev branch is resolvable. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ility Behat 4.x dropped YAML config and docblock annotations entirely: - Add behat.dist.php (PHP config format behat 4.x requires) - Add tests/Behat/Config/ArrayConfig.php to wrap merged YAML arrays as ConfigInterface for subprocess behat.dist.php generation - Update TestContext to write both YAML (behat 3.x) and PHP (behat 4.x) configs in thereIsConfiguration, updated incrementally on each call - Add PHP 8 step/hook attributes alongside existing docblock annotations in thereIsFile so embedded context classes work under behat 4.x - Resolve behat 3.x short extension names to full class names in the PHP config (behat 4.x requires FQCNs) - Exclude mink_integration and fob_page_object_integration from Symfony 8+ CI runs (those extensions do not yet support behat 4.x) - Also exclude PHP 8.3 + Symfony 8.0 (Symfony 8.0 requires PHP >=8.4) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
… only - Bump behat to ^3.31 (first version with both PHP 8 attr and PHP config support) - Replace all short extension names in feature files with FQCNs so no name resolution is needed in TestContext - TestContext: single code path for behat 3.31 and 4.x — no isBehat4 detection, no behat3Imports, no resolveExtensionClass map - thereIsConfiguration: writes only behat.dist.php (PHP config); both behat 3.31 and 4.x can read it, with behat.yml.dist taking priority for the outer run in behat 3.31 - thereIsFile: always replaces @Given/@When/@then docblocks with PHP 8 attributes so subprocess context classes work identically under both - Also exclude PHP 8.3 + Symfony 8.0 from CI matrix (SF 8.0 requires PHP >=8.4) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
friends-of-behat/service-container-extension uses XmlFileLoader which was removed in Symfony 8. Exclude the three affected sanity_checks feature files instead of the whole directory. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Based on #229 and partially based on #232.
Supersedes the other Symfony 8 / Behat 4 attempts: #218, #219 and #221 (composer constraint bumps), and #222 (Symfony 8 adaptation).
Thanks to @pamil, @atomiix, @Kocal, @shahinataei-ts, @Amoifr and @bytes-max for the earlier work this builds on.
