PHP 8.0 compatibility for Metatag (D7)

Hi There,
now that php 7.4 is also end of life and Patch to support php 8.0 version in Devel project is having status Need Review. #3208027: PHP 8.0 compatibility for Devel (D7) →

Can development of making meta php 8.0 be started?

Thanks in advance.

Metatag itself is fully compatible with PHP 8.0 and 8.1, though it hasn't been tested with 8.2. All that's left is for there to be a release of Devel that is compatible with PHP 8.0 and I'll be able to close this issue.

I cross-posted the Devel issue onto Gitlab: https://gitlab.com/drupalspoons/devel/-/issues/469

Thank you @DamienMcKenna.

i believe only following submodule has dependency on devel
Metatag: Devel (metatag_devel)

Apart from above mentioned sub-modules other modules are made php8 compatible?

The Devel module is used a lot in the automated tests, which is why it's listed in the main info file in a test_dependencies line.

The module, and all of the dependencies needed for it to work for normal site usage, is fully compatible with PHP 8.0.

Some good news - the Devel module's PHP 8.0 fix was committed, but we need a maintainer to tag a new release, Moshe Weitzman (one of the maintainers) said he wasn't interested in doing that work so hopefully one of the other maintainers will step up.

Fix is committed in which version? i guess it is Dev. Please confirm

@Neeraj420 it was committed to the DrupalForks repo of devel: https://gitlab.com/drupalforks/devel/-/commits/7.x-1.x?ref_type=heads. Devel has a bit different flow, so now it is waiting for the D7 devel maintainer to merge it to the main DrupalSpoons devel repo. And then it will be autopushed to the Drupal git repo and a new release can be created, see: https://gitlab.com/drupalspoons/devel/-/blob/5.x/README.md

Devel for D7 is unsupported now. What we going to do with this issue?

I suggest creating a sub issue that removes the Devel tests.

🌱 [D7] remove devel tests Active

I set it as a parent issue as we need this ^ done first to continue here.
