Fix#4600. String incrementation through the `++` operator is deprecated in Php 8.5. Because we make use of that operator to iterate through columns, we are particularly hard hit by that change - unaddressed, it causes over 2,000 errors in our test suite! It is, fortunately, not as difficult as I feared to correct. Replacing the `++` operator with a call to new method `StringHelper::stringIncrement` in 79 statements scattered over 31 source modules (in src, samples, test, and infra) eliminates all the messages in the test suite. It is possible that others are lurking, but I don't know a systematic way of determining if there are others. We'll stick with this for now, and deal with any others as they show up.
This PR will be applied to the master, release390, and release222 branches. It will not be applied to the release210 or release1291 branches, which will now accept security changes only.
The latest release seems to not want you to give a class element both a Php type and a doc-block type. I used the "fix" operand to delete the redundant doc-block declarations, with no other changes. So there should be no change to executable code.
While we might never be able to have 100% of our code strict, we can at
the very least do it for all of our tests. This ensures that our tests
are using our API with the types as intended by the test author, and not
silently be cast to what our API requires.
And quite a bit more manual changes. The idea is that typing of our
tests can be a bit more loose, so we assume PHPDoc is mostly correct. If
that happens to be wrong, it should be caught by the tests themselves.
* PhpUnit 10 Compatibility Part 1
This is not a change to move to PhpUnit 10. There is no compelling reason to do so at this time, although it is bound to happen eventually. There are a staggering number of problems (somewhere around 3,000) with the current test suite under PhpUnit 10; this is an attempt to get ahead of the curve by addressing them now.
Method `setOutputCallback` has gone away. This affects only Helper/SampleTest. It appears that `ob_start` and its allies provide an effective equivalent. FWIW, the absence of `setOutputCallback` is a good indication of whether or not PhpUnit 10 is in use, and I will use that fact in a few tests.
Class `ComplexAssert` with no constructor, and always used with `new ComplexAssert()`, extends `TestCase`. Apparently, the constructor for TestCase requires an argument, and PhpUnit 10 complains about not supplying one. Adding an empty constructor to ComplexAssert avoids this problem.
There are two very minor source changes, to Calculation/Calculation and Reader/Xlsx, where problems were exposed with PhpUnit 10 that had not been previously been exposed. AFAIK, these are the only source changes required; the rest of the changes are to test members.
The bulk of the problems are because PhpUnit 10 insists that provider methods be static. Most of those can be changed by a script without any further action; those changes will constitute the Part 2 counterpart of this PR. In this PR you will find the exceptional cases that can't be automated for one reason or another. The tests for Database functions have mild complications that are easily handled. Most of the other provider changes in this PR are because the method names didn't follow an established pattern ('provider' isn't part of the method name); those are also easily handled manually. Modifying the following tests provided significant challenges:
- Writer/Xls/WorkbookTest testAddColor
- Worksheet/Table/TableTest testSetRangeValidRange
The handling of warning messages issued by the code differs in PhpUnit 10. According to the change log, "This means that using PHP functionality which triggers E_DEPRECATED, E_NOTICE, E_STRICT, or E_WARNING or calling code which triggers E_USER_DEPRECATED, E_USER_NOTICE, or E_USER_WARNING can no longer hide a bug in your code." To me, the effect of that change seems to be exactly the opposite - such messages were available to the test with PhpUnit 9 (so we could test for them), and are no longer available (so we can't). I haven't even succeeded with a custom error message handler as part of the script. I will continue to investigate, but, for now, will skip some tests under PhpUnit 10 for the following:
- Shared/OleTest testChainedWriteMode and testChainedBadPath
- Reader/Html/HtmlLoadStringTest testLoadInvalidString
- Reader/Html/HtmlTest testBadHtml
* Scrutinize, and Parent Construct
Parent construct suggested by @MarkBaker.
* Redo Tests Dependent on Warning Messages
Warning (and other) messages are handled differently in PhpUnit 10 than in earlier versions.
Also enforce more rigorous Excel Function implementation by testing the underlying implementation, call via the Calc Engine, and execution from in a worksheet.
Separate out unhappy path (exception) checks into a separate test, so that a single test isn't made overcomplex checking for every potentiality.
Scrutinizer may dislike variadics, for variable number of arguments of mixed type; but tough. It's 100% valid PHP, accepted by phpstan, and makes life a lot easier.
Initial work here covers all the database and datetime unit tests for Excel function implementations.
