PHPUnit Test Failure on PHP 8.1

[github-actions]

PHPUnit Test Failure

The automated PHPUnit test suite has failed in the EngineScript Site Exporter plugin.

Details

• PHP Version: 8.1
• Test Date: 2026-03-17 21:00:50
• Workflow Run: View detailed logs

Matrix Configuration

This test suite runs on multiple PHP versions:

• PHP 7.4 - PHPUnit 11.* (default)
• PHP 8.0 - PHPUnit 11.*
• PHP 8.1 - PHPUnit 11.*
• PHP 8.2 - PHPUnit 11.*
• PHP 8.3 - PHPUnit 12.* (upgraded for compatibility)

Next Steps

This issue has been automatically created because one or more PHPUnit test cases failed.

Possible Causes:

1. PHP Version Incompatibility: Code may not be compatible with the PHP version being tested
2. Test Coverage Gap: New features may lack corresponding test cases
3. Environment Issues: Database or service connectivity issues
4. Assertion Failures: Test expectations no longer match implementation
5. Dependency Conflicts: Package versions may have changed

Recommended Actions:

1. Review Logs: Check the workflow logs for specific test failure details
2. Local Reproduction: Run tests locally with the same PHP version
3. Debug Failures: Use verbose output to understand assertion failures
4. Fix Issues: Update either the code or tests as needed
5. Validate: Re-run PHPUnit to confirm all tests pass

Local Testing Commands:

# Install dependencies (uses PHPUnit 11 by default for PHP 7.4 baseline)
composer install

# Run all tests
composer test

# Run specific test file
vendor/bin/phpunit tests/test-plugin.php

# Run with verbose output
vendor/bin/phpunit --verbose

For PHP 8.3+ Testing:

If you need to test with PHPUnit 12 locally (requires PHP 8.3+):

# Upgrade dependencies for PHP 8.3
composer require-dev phpunit/phpunit:^12 --dev
composer require-dev yoast/phpunit-polyfills:^4 --dev

# Install upgraded dependencies
composer install

# Run tests with PHPUnit 12
composer test
