Interesting, I'm also using decimal extension in my CI workflow and project. I'm also using PHP 8.3 and it works, as I tested it now:

I've hardcoded 8.3.7 in this PR, to test this issue.

Here is code:

And here is CI job:

@lotyp just in case - you can't hardcode PHP version to minor part. So either you put 8.3.7 or 8.3.6 script will read it as 8.3 and install the latest.

I compared operating system, runner image - I have the same you have. I tried your set of extensions. Result is exactly the same.

I don't have much time these days but on Sat I'll try to clone Setup PHP repo and run it locally.

I've changed hardcoded 8.3.7 to use php-version: ${{ matrix.php-version }} which resolves to 8.3 in my workflow and it still succeeded:

Strange, as we are using same PHP version, same runners (ubuntu-latest).

@2kai you can try to re-run job with enabled debugging, maybe there will be more detailed error?

Also, maybe this project can help you to debug your problem locally, by running workflow on your machine: https://github.com/nektos/act

@2kai Please use ubuntu-20.04 or ubuntu-22.04 for decimal extension and it should install correctly.
