Problem/Motivation

Have any got this fatal error?

Fatal error: Declaration of
Drupal\selective_better_exposed_filters\Plugin\better_exposed_filters\filter\DefaultWidget::defaultConfiguration()
must be compatible with
Drupal\better_exposed_filters\Plugin\better_exposed_filters\filter\FilterWidgetBase::defaultConfiguration():
array in C:\xampp\htdocs\public_html\modules\custom\selective_better_exposed_filters\src\Plugin\better_exposed_filters\filter\DefaultWidget.php on line 21

As far as I know, I do have a standard setup and are using the module as intended. I am using better_exposed_filters 7.0.5

This error is happening because in PHP 8 strict type compatibility is enforced for return types.

In Drupal 10, the defaultConfiguration() method in FilterWidgetBase has a declared return type : array, while in the custom module (selective_better_exposed_filters) the overriding method doesn’t declare the return type.

I have provided this patch to fix the issue.
