When installing Magento 2.4.4 with bin/magento setup:install the installation fails with

[Progress: 351 / 1431]
Module 'Mageplaza_Core':
[Progress: 352 / 1431]
Module 'Mageplaza_Blog':

In Config.php line 449:

The same error can be reproduces when running integration tests.

Tested on Magento 2.4.4, PHP 8.1, Mageplaza_Blog 4.1.3.

The same error message is also thrown in https://github.com/mageplaza/magento-2-smtp/issues/309

I managed to upgrade to 2.4.4 with PHP 8.1, but during first compilation, I get this error;

PHP Fatal error:  Cannot use Magento\Tests\NamingConvention\true\mixed as mixed because 'mixed' is a special class name in /opt/magento/public_html/vendor/mageplaza/magento-2-blog-extension/Model/ResourceModel/Category/Collection.php on line 28
{"messages":{"error":[{"code":500,"message":"Server internal error. See details in report api\/1346736609828"}]}}

I'm pretty sure PHP8.* isn't supported (yet).

@Asitis we also got that error, but we wanted to test the module anyway by removing the dependency from the class itself and got the error mentioned above.

Removing CustomerResource from dependencies resolves the issue:

        <arguments>
            <argument name="customerSession" xsi:type="object">Magento\Customer\Model\Session\Proxy</argument>
