PHP errors not catched?

[mmartinello]

Hi, I'm successfully using spatie/async and my threads are ran without any problems until I changed some of my internal classes so that I generated some PHP errors for non-existent methods and functions.

I'm using Monolog to write logs and redirect errors to stderr so that spatie/async recognises them and makes children fail, but I realised that children are not failing if they encounters any internal PHP error!

The Monolog configuration is really the same for the main thread and children also.

I also tried to configure error_log = /tmp/php_errors.log into the php.ini and I realised that errors from the main thread are written in this log file, and not errors generated from the children!

Is spatie/async hiding PHP errors or I am making something wrong?

I'm making some tests trying found out what's going.

When the pool children are running I got one of the PHP child commands executed as thread, for example:

/usr/local/Cellar/php@7.4/7.4.27/bin/php /Users/me/Projects/my-project/vendor/spatie/async/src/Runtime/ChildRuntime.php /Users/me/Projects/my-project/_classes/../_inc/inclusions.php QzozMjoiT3Bpc1xDbG9zdXJlXFNlcmlhbGl6YWJsZUNsb3N1cmUiOjQ5NDgyOnthOjU6e3M6MzoidXNlIjthOjEwOntzOjEwOiJjb250ZW50X2lkIjtzOjg6IjI1OTYzODQyIjtzOjM6InBkZiI7TzozOiJQZGYiOjM3Njp7czo5OiIAKgBzZW50cnkiO047czo2OiIAKgBjbWQiO047czoxMDoiACoAdG1wX2RpciI7czo1ODoiL1VzZ... (base 64 continues)

Which is: <php executable> <async ChildRuntime.php> <autoloader file> <base 64 of my child function>

I executed the command on my terminal to see what happens, thinking that I would receive the PHP errors on the stdout, but if I insert one PHP error on purpose (in this case I inserted one call to one non-existent PHP function), the children thread immediately ends (which is correct), but strangely I see some base64 code in the stdout after my logs:

~/P/my-project> bash php-child.sh                                            Tue Feb 15 09:09:04 2022

(base 64 continues)

The base 64 code I see in the stdout really contains the PHP error:

O:41:"Spatie\Async\Output\SerializableException":3:{s:8:"�*�class";s:5:"Error";s:10:"�*�message";s:49:"Call to undefined function nonexistent_function()";s:8:"�*�trace";s:2225:"#0 closure://function () use($content_id, $pdf, $user_id,

What I understand is that PHP errors are not even catched by PHP itself, as they are not redirected to the error file configured into php.ini:

 ~> /usr/local/Cellar/php@7.4/7.4.27/bin/php -i|grep "Loaded Configuration File"
Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/etc/php/7.4/php.ini

 ~> grep "error_log =" /usr/local/etc/php/7.4/php.ini                                                    Tue Feb 15 09:19:48 2022
error_log = /tmp/php_errors.log

 ~> cat /tmp/php_errors.log

Is this behaviour expected or am I making something wrong?
