Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.1.0". about phplint HOT 4 CLOSED

Hello,

First, Thanks to report this issue !
But I won't waste more time to fix it, and I 'll try to explain you why.

• PHP 8.0 will reach End Of Life at the end of this year 2023 (currently only security fixes)
• Infrastructure to build the PHAR distribution used my project box-manifest that is a version of BOX project with manifests support. The workflow used the box-manifest 2.3.1 that support BOX v4.x (that requires itself PHP 8.1 or greater)
  BOX v3.x that support PHP 7.4 and 8.0 are also supported via box-manifest 1.2.0 (but has already reached End Of Life).

My suggestion, is if you really want to use a PHAR version of PHPLint 9.0 is to compile it yourself with BOX 3.16.0 (the lastest version that support PHP 8.0).
The metadata in box.json config file will be ignored and considered as simple text.

Follows this steps :

curl -Ls https://github.com/box-project/box/releases/download/3.16.0/box.phar -o box-3.phar
chmod +x box-3.phar
./box-3.phar compile --config /absolute/path/to/phplint_clone/box.json

And used your fresh copy of PHPLint v9 (PHP 8.0 compatible) that may be found in your phplint clone.

Hope that will help you

Yeah, very understandable, I also hope to move everything off PHP 8.0 soon. And yeah, that is helpful, but for the time being I've just downgraded to an older phplint as the easiest workaround.

Even if older versions are still identified as active support, this is only for help.
I won't apply any fix code on them except for security if needed.
Major version 9.0 is an homogeneous branch code with new feature.

Gotcha! For our use case, I think it's fine, we're running v4.x in a Github workflow on self-hosted runners with our own code, but good to know.
