When testing deprecations with PHPUnit greater than 9.5.10 you might encounter this error:
Failed asserting that exception of type "PHPUnit\Framework\Error\Deprecated" is thrown.
The code in the test is as follows:
$this->expectDeprecation();
and the code that should be tested is like this:
\trigger_error('foo', \E_USER_DEPRECATED);
The psr/log package used to have not only the Interface for PSR-3 Logger, but also actual implementations of the interface like the TestLogger.
The TestLogger could be used as mock for any PSR-3 Logger in your test cases.
However from v3 the TestLogger was removed, so that the psr/log package would focus solely on the Interface.
If you used the TestLogger in your project and you or some of your dependencies upgraded psr/log to >= v3 you most likely saw this error:
Class "Psr\Log\Test\TestLogger" not found
So we have a CSV file with a member list and we want to filter all empty emails.
FirstName,LastName,Email Max,Mustermann,max@mustermann.de Maxi,Hasnoemail,
With nodejs streams this is almost a one liner.
We will use the csv package from the CSV project which has some sophisticated packages to parse and transform csv data with nodejs streams.
npm install csv
We will further use node as ESM (ECMAScript modules) to be shiningly modern and so lets create a file: index.mjs
Note the .mjs extension, which will tell node to interprete this as ESM. (Since nodejs v12.20.0 && v14.13.0)
We import the packages and create the filesystem streams to read the file, then built a pipeline with the streams and the single steps to process the data and write the results into a new file.
Ok let’s go:
I was about to integrate Github Actions to one of my pet projects but the tests failed with:
convert-im6.q16: unable to read font `helvetica' @ error/annotate.c/RenderFreetype/1338.
In the project i was using ImageMagick convert command directly as sub process and obviously some fonts where missing.
Makes sense because i used convert to add text to an image.
When using bin/console make:entity on Mysql and then later you switch your application to Postgres and you have a table called user, which you most likely have when using security component of Symfony.
Then you will receive an error because user is a reserved word in Postgres!
An exception occurred while executing 'INSERT INTO user (id, email, roles, password, is_verified) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)' with params [3, "dev@dev.de", "[]", "your-encrypted-password", 0]:
SQLSTATE[42601]: Syntax error: 7 ERROR: syntax error at or near "user"

So here is nice chain of docker errors and its solution.
1. Docker has reached its maximum of created networks and errors like this:
ERROR: could not find an available, non-overlapping IPv4 address pool among the defaults to assign to the network
The easiest (and most brute though) solution to this is to prune all networks, as suggested here on SO.
docker network prune
This will delete all networks that are not connected to currently active containers.
But this also means it will delete all networks of your not runnning dev projects.
(Which might be numerous as in my case.)
Esbuild is the new cool kid in the bundler world.
It is super fast since its written in Go and comes with a lot of builtin features for modern frontend development.
So i wanted to try it myself and migrated a former gulp build to esbuild.
But as it showed the gulp build was not so modern, as it was just Sass and Javascript minification. No ES6, No React, no JSX with inline styles.
So Esbuild was not working out of the box but needed some extra config and the Sass plugin.
npm i -d esbuild esbuild-plugin-sass
Also I had to rewrite the Javascript to use ES6 modules, but this was fortunatly easy.
Continue reading “Migrating from gulp to esbuild”Sometime ago I tried to use Adminer in Docker to administrate a sqlite database, which was not as easy as expected.
If you are a happy user of IntelliJ IDE like PHPStorm or IntelliJ Ultimate like me :) then i would nowadays recommend to use the built-in database tool of your IntelliJ IDE for Sqlite administration instead.
Even in dockerized context.
You might encounter this deprecation message after your upgrade to symfony 5.1 in your symfony project:
Since symfony/dotenv 5.1: Passing a boolean to the constructor of “Symfony\Component\Dotenv\Dotenv” is deprecated, use “Dotenv::usePutenv()
To fix this, go to config/bootstrap.php and remove the false from the Dotenv constructor:(new Dotenv(false))->loadEnv(dirname(DIR).'/.env');
to(new Dotenv())->loadEnv(dirname(DIR).'/.env');
See: https://github.com/symfony/symfony/issues/37195
Actually the file config/bootstrap.php has been removed from symfony 5.1 and was replaced in public/index.php.
But since the project was updated from an symfony 4 version the bootrap file is still present.
So another option would be to remove the boostrap file and update the project entirely to symfony 5.1 recipe.
This is not trivial though as you can see in this corresponfing PullRequest.

If you sell digital things (services, digital goods etc.) to EU countries, you might have to calculate the VAT at the rate of the customer’s country (and even pay it there afterwards).
The latter is even the more inconvenient part, but at least the first part can be done quite easily with good old PHP.
