Milestone: CI now running PHP 7.4 tests as voting
by James Forrester 12 Mar '20

12 Mar '20

All, Ahead of the release of MediaWiki 1.35.0, a number of people have been working to make sure that MediaWiki is compatible with PHP 7.4.[0] We have now reached the final phase of that work, where we are checking that we don't regress in CI. This is running on the master branch, as REL1_34 is not compatible. To that end, * Wikimedia CI is now running PHP 7.4 as voting* for almost all PHP code. This covers MediaWiki core, most extensions, skins, and libraries. PHP74 jobs will appear in the 'gate-and-submit' and 'php' pipelines for your projects. If your code works in PHP 7.3 but not in PHP 7.4, it will now fail. Most of the changes are documented in PHP's migration guidance.[1] Note that this is rare; almost all PHP 7.2- and 7.3-compatible code works fine in PHP 7.4. There are a few extensions which are known to not yet be PHP 7.4-compatible, and so currently aren't running PHP74 tests yet; others will probably exist. I've spot-checked a few dozen projects, and fixed several issues, but it is likely that I have missed some; we have well over a thousand repos, after all. If your repo is broken by this change and needs the PHP 7.4 testing temporarily removed, please file a task on the workboard[2] and I'll be happy to get it fixed. Thank you to everyone who has worked on this.
