PHP 8.4 compatibility

It seems we're good with PHP 8.4.

Looking to .gitlab-ci.yml and pipeline, I see currently we're only testing:

• Drupal 11.1 + PHP 8.3
• Drupal 11.1 + PHP 8.4 (introduced in this MR)

But we lack D10 testing and Drupal 10 will reach end of life mid-late 2026 → . Long way to go! Also, current D10 (10.5.x development branch) still supports PHP 8.1.

We also should prepare for the next minor (currently 11.2)

So I think it would be wise to Run tests, at least for

• Drupal 10 + PHP 8.1 (add OPT_IN_TEST_PREVIOUS_MAJOR: 1 and _TARGET_PHP: "$CORE_PHP_MIN" that will force PHP 8.1)
• Drupal 11.x + PHP 8.3 (add OPT_IN_TEST_NEXT_MINOR: 1)

Finally will run each pipeline with the following paths:

Tests are passing on max PHP.

I don’t think it’s necessary to generally enable testing against PHP 8.4 for all MRs and commits, that seems like a waste of money. I do already have a weekly pipeline that tests for PHP 8.4, I now also added one for Drupal 10 and PHP 8.1, as suggested – thanks.

Thanks.

Can we get a new release, with PHP 8.4 support? Other modules depend on search_api, so this is holding up PHP 8.4 support in those module too.

A new release is already planned, just trying to coordinate with other modules (mostly Solr) so we don’t break people’s sites. (Lesson learned from previous releases.)
