[Wikitech-l] Upcoming CI changes for PHP 7

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi, We're planning to enable tests against PHP 7.0 as a voting job for MediaWiki core, and all MediaWiki extensions and skins that currently have one for PHP 5.5 and HHVM. Tests have run in non-voting mode against nearly all extensions, most of which are passing[1]. There is currently 1 group of test failures, and 3 more extensions that are failing: * Tidy change[2] (being replaced with RemexHtml) * PhpTags test failures[3] * Mpdf is failing PHP 7.0 lint[4] * PHPExcel is failing PHP 7.0 lint[5] We're currently planning to land the tidy change Tuesday afternoon (following the branch cut). If someone wants to look into the three extension failures that would be appreciated :) After that sits for a few days, I plan on enabling PHP 7.0 voting tests on Thursday or Friday. I don't expect many problems given that most people have already been running MediaWiki with PHP 7.0 for quite a while now. The master task tracking all of this is [6].
