Drush 8 warnings on PHP 8.1

[danepowell]

Describe the bug Running Drush 8 in a PHP 8.1 environment leads to deprecation warnings:

Deprecated: Return type of HumbugBox3140\KevinGH\RequirementChecker\RequirementCollection::getIterator() should either be compatible with IteratorAggregate::getIterator(): Traversable, or the #[\ReturnTypeWillChange] attribute should be used to temporarily suppress the notice in phar:///home/ide/project/drush.phar/.box/src/RequirementCollection.php on line 14

Deprecated: Return type of HumbugBox3140\KevinGH\RequirementChecker\RequirementCollection::count() should either be compatible with Countable::count(): int, or the #[\ReturnTypeWillChange] attribute should be used to temporarily suppress the notice in phar:///home/ide/project/drush.phar/.box/src/RequirementCollection.php on line 19

To Reproduce

Run drush using Drush 8 and PHP 8.1

Expected behavior No deprecation warnings

Actual behavior Deprecation warnings

Workaround It's just a warning so it doesn't block anything, but it is annoying

System Configuration

Q	A
Drush version?	8.4.11
Drupal version?	none
PHP version	8.1
OS?	Linux

I get these warnings:

bash-5.1:/var/www/html> drush version

(Never mind, these are fixed in 8.x dev)

function _drush_backend_batch_process($command = 'batch-process', $args, $options) {

I think the change would need to be made in 3 files:

commands/core/drupal/batch_7.inc:19 commands/core/drupal/batch.inc:20 commands/core/drupal/batch_6.inc:19

The only reference is in includes/batch.inc, which has the parameter defaults all set:

function drush_backend_batch_process($command = 'batch-process', $args = array(), $options = array()) {
  // Command line options to pass to the command.
  $options['u'] = drush_user_get_class()->getCurrentUserAsSingle()->id();

  drush_include_engine('drupal', 'batch');
  _drush_backend_batch_process($command, $args, $options);
}

Whatever issue @mbomb007 fixed is different from what I originally reported. Here's the fix for the Box-related errors I reported: https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/pull/5341

[danheisel]

There seem to be a few issues related to this incompatibility. I thought it had been fixed but maybe not. It's mostly causing a blockage on Drupal 7 sites using Drush 8 with PHP 8 on Pantheon. Very curious when this will be rolled out since PHP 7 is EOL and Drupal 7 is unable to run any higher version of Drush.

[ivantibezh]

Can we merge changes to the Drush8 branch? PHP 7 is not supported anymore but Drupal 7 supports PHP 8.1 https://www.drupal.org/docs/7/system-requirements/php-requirements.

[klausi]

Fully agreed with Ivan - Drupal 7 projects will have to move to PHP 8.1+ sooner or later to be on a supported PHP version.

@greg-1-anderson hi, you approved #5341 3 weeks ago - anything missing so that it can be merged for a new Drush 8 release? Thank you!

[nevergone]

PHP 7 is security supported with Linux distributions. Ubuntu 14.04 EOL is April 2024 https://canonical.com/blog/ubuntu-14-04-and-16-04-lifecycle-extended-to-ten-years and by default, Ubuntu 14.04 ships with PHP 5.5.9.

@greg-1-anderson hi, you approved https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/pull/5341 3 weeks ago

Um, sorry, I was just supposed to merge that. 😊 Done.

[klausi]

Yay, thanks a lot Greg!

I see the tests are failing on the Drush 8.x branch for quite some time, so the next steps I think are

1. Fix automated tests
2. Make a new Drush 8 release

[greg-1-anderson]

The tests on the Drush 8.x branch are now green, but I discovered that various changes in dependencies are making it hard to support global Drush 8 on Drupal 9 (and 10, but I haven't even tried that). Since Drush never formally supported Drupal 9, I simply stopped testing on that version. I did turn on some tests for Dupal 8, but only with PHP 7.4, as there are failures for Drupal 8 with PHP 8. I will have to look to the community to fill these gaps if these configurations are still important. Drush 8 tests are green for Drupal 7 on PHP 5.6 through 8.1, and I will add PHP 8.2 when it is supported in Drual 7.

[greg-1-anderson]

Next step is to look at some Drush 8 issues and PRs and see which can be resolved quickly, then I will make a release.

[greg-1-anderson]

I'm satisfied with my sweep through Drush 8 issues and PRs, and will make a release shortly, sometime between this evening and Tuesday, probably.

[klausi]

Great, thanks! In my opinion we should only support Drupal 7 with Drush 8.

Drupal 9 and 10 can use higher drush versions, Drupal 8 is not supported anymore.

[greg-1-anderson]

Yes, I agree with you philosophically. I am not going to spend a lot of time on the unsupported configurations; hopefully, anyone still stuck there is working to upgrade, as it probably won't keep working forever.

Thanks for making Drush 8.4.11 and Drupal 7 work with PHP 8.1 @greg-1-anderson. I got the error below after upgrading to PHP 8.2. Downgrading to PHP 8.1 made it go away and everything works fine:

[greg-1-anderson]

Although I did merge one community-provided PR related to PHP 8.2 warnings, I have not otherwise attempted to support PHP 8.2 on Drush 8 yet. It does look like Drupal 7 supports PHP 8.2 now, so this would be a useful addition. PRs welcome.

[danepowell]

This should be resolved in 8.4.12. Let's open new issues if there are unresolved issues with Drush 8 and PHP 8.
