@dg I'm unable to configure the tests, help needed. I'm able to repliate the error via github actions in my fork, but appveyor uses different DB config provider.

Also, I tried the is_resource condition, but the condition fails right after construction for some reason. I reimplemented it using a try-catch block.

Thanks

@dg The tests need to be updated. It was marked WIP for that reason. The code is ok, but I was unable to make the tests pass on appveyor. There's also the unused mysqli-driver config left dangling in the config files.

I used a test like this: 7d82ce2#diff-1a3150d75da0d135bea2c37b25a578bf7aa75308db33a297abd067e27ffe558f

If you're okay with the test, fine. Still, there's the dangling code that should be removed: 8c2e425#diff-2e359a78bf001eae825dda38b8e9565c483c4a62089440534f2129aea7115538R26

Should I open a new PR?

Yeah, I put the code away.

Oh, sorry, I did not notice.

Hello.
Is there any plan for a 4.2.x patch release? This issue currently prevents me from migrating to 8. Thank you in advance!

So use dev-4.2.x in the meantime.

That works fine for development, not for production.
