Debug PHP 8 Behat test issue

[mukeshpanchal27]

It seems that after the merge of commit eb3f847, the Behat test for PHP 8 is expected to fail.

Further discussion on this matter can be found here: #367 (comment).

When I try to run behat test in local (PHP 8.0). I get following PHP notices. But not sure this is the actual cause as in the end, test is passed successfully.

Thank you, @ernilambar. I encountered similar deprecated notices when running the tests locally, but strangely, the tests are passing. I'm currently working on replicating the issue to find a solution.

@swissspidy if you have any thoughts on this as it failed on every commit.

The issue seems to be related to the code coverage collection, as that runs on the PHP 8.0 / WP latest job.

To reproduce locally:

# Update PHPUnit to get latest php-code-coverage library
composer require --dev --ignore-platform-reqs --update-with-all-dependencies phpunit/phpunit
# Run tests with code coverage and xdebug enabled
BEHAT_CODE_COVERAGE=true XDEBUG_MODE=coverage composer behat

Will do some debugging both locally and on CI, though GitHub Actions is down right now.
