PHP errors, notices, etc. cannot be tested anymore with PHPUnit 8.3

Class PHPUnit\Framework\Error\Error has been removed in 8.3.0.

The removed class was marked as @internal but the Testing PHP Errors mentions uses of that class. So what's the alternative?

Docs for 8.3 don't seem to be up yet.

There is an issue with publishing the 8.3 documentation

[ADmad]

So I presume the 8.3 docs have been will be updated to show the alternative way?

It's still unfortunate that 8.2 docs show the use of internal class and then it's removed in 8.3 causing test suites of users to break. If 8.2 docd has warned about used of internal classes people could have tried to fix the issue before hand or hold off using 8.3.

[sebastianbergmann]

The documentation for PHPUnit 8.3 is 1) not updated to reflect this and 2) is not published yet.

[sebastianbergmann]

The removal of this functionality was not intentional.

[sebastianbergmann]

PHPUnit 8.3.1 has been released with a fix for this.

[ADmad]

Thank you.

[sebastianbergmann]

No, thank you for bringing this to my attention :-)

I had no choice when our test suite broke 😝.

I initially thought it was our fault for using classes marked as @internal only to realize that is the documented way.

So maybe the @internal tag should be removed?

[sebastianbergmann]

It has already been removed.
