Composer error when using PHP 7.3

[poplarmedia]

Pawtucket Master branch is presenting this error when installing from Master on MacOS Monterey using Homebrew:
Fatal error: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 7.4.0". You are running 7.3.33. in /path/to/pawtucket/vendor/composer/platform_check.php on line 24

If I run composer install the issue resolves.

The release notes say it should run in PHP 7.3

Providence does not cause this error

[collectiveaccess]

Works fine for me running 7.3.33 on macOS Big Sur + homebrew. The composer.json file is compatible with PHP 7.3 (develop version are not). Perhaps you got this error because you were switching from a develop branch to master?

[poplarmedia]

This was an existing 1.7.8 DB and media with a clean installation of master branch from git.

To eliminate the upgrade question, I just installed a fresh master of Providence, ran the VRA profile, and then made a fresh master of Pawtucket2, and got the same error.

I then ran the composer install and this is the output:

So there wasn't a fatal error?

[poplarmedia]

With the clean install, and then running the VRA profile into an empty install, It was the same error as before:
Fatal error: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 7.4.0". You are running 7.3.33. in /path/to/pawtucket/test/vendor/composer/platform_check.php on line 24

[collectiveaccess]

Ok, so what was different in the previous run where you didn't get the error? I'm not seeing any issues running with current Pawtucket code in a clean install.

[poplarmedia]

Sorry if I am not being clear. In both instances, I get a fatal error in php 7.3 with a fresh install, whether it is an exiting DB or a new one created from a profile. I fix it by running composer update at the root of Pawtucket.

The release notes say:

Note that this version supports 7.3 and 7.4. It is not yet compatible with PHP 8.

Is is this what is supposed to happen? The fatal error?

Line 8 of the platform_check.php references PHP 7.4.0
$issues[] = 'Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 7.4.0". You are running ' . PHP_VERSION . '.';

Is that correct, or should it say '7.3.0'?

[collectiveaccess]

That's generated by composer... the thing is I don't get that error when I try to install on 7.3.

[poplarmedia]

Point taken. Would it make sense to add a something to the release notes in case others encounter this issue in 7.3?
