Added forward compatibility for PHP 8.1+ #13

Open Bilge opened 7 months ago

Bilge commented 7 months ago

When the shell_exec call fails, it returns null. Passing null to trim(), which expects a string, is deprecated since PHP 8.1. I understand we're bundling PHP 8.0 at present, but this is just a forward compatibility change for when it's upgraded later.

As a bonus, removed some trailing whitespace.

Good catch, thank you! Indeed we should update the bundled PHP version (and likely some other stuff, such as the MinGW tools), but only after having tagged a new release.

Right. I've seen that same trim(shell_exec(…)) call a couple of lines below, and that would need to be fixed as well (to be on the safe side for PHP 9). And then I noticed that Config::guessCurrentBranchName() returns ?string, but the result is passed to Config::setCurrentBranchName() which expects string here:

That's probably even worse, since that fatals, if there is no git.exe in the PATH, and there would be something wrong with php_version.h.

I expect many more of such issues, and I don't think addressing this piecemeal makes much sense. Maybe we should employ some static analysis tool, but which one (PHPStan, Psalm, or something else)? Any preferences?
