Collect deprecations triggered by autoloading while loading/building the test suite by soyuka · Pull Request #6165 · sebastianbergmann/phpunit

soyuka · 2025-03-28T11:21:31Z

When one triggers a deprecation in a class directly like this:

<?php
trigger_error('Depreciated interface', E_USER_DEPRECATED);

interface Foo {}

This technique is notably used in many Symfony components, for example:

https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/82cf90aefb7e9117ebd981fec83d7546e310e52b/src/Symfony/Component/PropertyInfo/Type.php#L12-L15

The deprecation will be triggered when autoloading the class, which happens in:

phpunit/src/TextUI/Application.php

Line 181 in 4b6a4ee

$testSuite = $this->buildTestSuite($configuration);

At that point, the ErrorHandler is not registered and we loose the deprecation.

This pull request gives an idea on how it may be fixed, indeed the ErrorHandler needs a TestCase therefore I'm collecting these deprecations and triggering them once we call ErrorHandler::enable. I'm open to suggestions on how to fix this differently. Obviously I'll add tests if/once a solution is found that can be merged.

Thanks!

            EventFacade::instance()->seal();

+            $depreciations = [];


The name of this variable should be $deprecations.

sebastianbergmann · 2025-03-28T12:17:20Z

        return $buffer;
    }
+
+    public function collectGlobalDepreciations(array $deprecations): void


The name of this method should be collectGlobalDeprecations.

sebastianbergmann · 2025-03-28T12:18:22Z

I think this idea is worthwhile to pursue. Please fix the existing tests and add new tests to cover the changed/added functionality.

I do not consider this to be a bug fix, so this pull request should target the main branch instead of 11.5.

#5844 link

I updated the code, interestingly this conflicts with the resolution of #5844 (https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/commit/8e8776083c71277fa90403b183530c956b110b60). To mitigate this I need to use something like:

phpunit/src/Framework/TestCase.php

Lines 1598 to 1610 in dd3bb4b

    
           while (true) { 
        
               $previousHandler = set_error_handler(static fn () => false); 
        
               restore_error_handler(); 
        
               if ($previousHandler === null) { 
        
                   break; 
        
               } 
        
               $activeErrorHandlers[] = $previousHandler; 
        
               restore_error_handler(); 
        
           }

The idea would be to restore only the handler that we set to avoid restoring another handler registered by third party (bootstrap or test suite configuration).

The handler that's created in the bootstrap.php of 5844 fails once restored as it's a private method... I also think it makes the code slightly more complicated then what I would like (see failure at https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/actions/runs/14144107940/job/39629361311?pr=6165)

This reflects what happens when loading classes usually, if we do the same as in #5844 we'll trigger the deprecation during the loadBootstrapScript.

Did you test this with OPcache? I came across this PR on my phone and php/php-src#17422 sounds relevant.

soyuka · 2025-04-18T07:23:07Z

I don't use opcache

soyuka · 2025-04-26T19:22:53Z

@sebastianbergmann tests added and code cleaned, let me know if I should do something else. Thanks!

soyuka · 2025-06-03T07:45:24Z

I've added a new commit as I had an issue with the baseline trace, the CI failures looks unrelated though.

sebastianbergmann · 2025-06-03T15:27:14Z

The tests for OTR logging use information from the Git checkout and apparently Git checkouts for pull requests are "different". I do not get these failures locally.

However, locally I get this (after rebasing your branch against main):

Please rebase after #6225. Thank you!

soyuka · 2025-06-04T07:43:12Z

rebased, this one works well on our project now. Side note, this patch reports global deprecations only when using spl_autoload. When using require (see my comment here the deprecation gets triggered at loadBootstrapScript(at that point the error handler isn't registered IIRC).

In my opinion we should document that global deprecations are reported only when using the autoload mechanism, as that triggers the error only when we use the class, which is what maintainers want to report.

sebastianbergmann · 2025-06-04T07:55:49Z

I am sorry, but running PHPUnit's own test suite with the changes proposed here triggers a lot of deprecations: https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/actions/runs/15436395576/job/43443720453?pr=6165

soyuka · 2025-06-04T09:37:40Z

nice catch, indeed I forgot to clean up the ErrorHandler instance in the unit test.

This was forgotten in sebastianbergmann#6165 This makes a difference with today's new "sleep" deprecation, which is not correctly gathered.

mpdude · 2025-12-05T17:47:02Z

@soyuka I am trying to investigate a potentially related issue, but I cannot get PHPUnit to autoload classes before the tests actually start. What did you do to get there, what does your PHPUnit configuration look like for this case?

soyuka · 2025-12-05T19:12:47Z

It may be a hard one to debug (see also #6165 (comment)) but please share your use case and I can help (in another issue).
