New Pull Request Checklist

Issue Description

The SDK cannot be installed on PHP 8.4 or 8.5: composer.json pins "php": ">=8.1 <8.4". Once that bound is lifted, three deprecations fire on 8.5:

Location Deprecation
src/Parse/ParseException.php Exception $previous = null — implicitly nullable parameter, deprecated in 8.4
src/Parse/HttpClients/ParseStream.php $http_response_header, deprecated in 8.5
src/Parse/HttpClients/ParseCurl.php curl_close(), deprecated in 8.5

No issue was open for this.

Closes: n/a

Approach

Runtime compatibility — all changes remain backward compatible down to PHP 8.1.

  • ?Exception $previous = null. This is the only implicitly nullable parameter in the repository; the other = null defaults are on untyped parameters and are unaffected.
  • ParseStream::getFileContents() calls http_get_last_response_headers() where available (PHP 8.4+) and keeps the $http_response_header fallback for 8.1–8.3. This path is exercised by every request in npm run test-stream.
  • Dropped the curl_close() call. It has been a no-op since PHP 8.0; the existing $this->curl = null is what releases the handle.
  • ParseCurlHttpClient::getHeaderSize() uses strlen() instead of mb_strlen(). The value is a byte offset reported by cURL, so strlen() is the correct function and it removes an undeclared ext-mbstring dependency.

Dependencies

  • "php": ">=8.1".
  • phpDocumentor leaves require-dev: it cannot be installed on PHP 8.5, since phpdocumentor/json-path caps at 8.4.*, and it was what pulled in laminas/laminas-code, which caps at 8.3. It is now fetched as a phar with a pinned SHA-256 in a dedicated docs job on PHP 8.4. jms/serializer and nikic/php-parser only existed to constrain its tree and go with it.
  • phpunit/phpunit widened to ^10.5.38 || ^11.4 || ^12.0, squizlabs/php_codesniffer to ^3.13, and minimum-stability moves from dev to stable with prefer-stable.
  • CI runs composer update rather than composer install: a single lock file cannot serve 8.1 through 8.5, because PHPUnit 10, 11 and 12 cover disjoint PHP ranges. The committed lock stays resolved for the 8.1 baseline, so composer install still works on every supported version.

Test suite

  • phpunit.xml: removed the hardcoded <coverage><report> block. Under PHPUnit 12 it aborts the run with No tests executed! when no coverage driver is present, where PHPUnit 10 only warned. Coverage still comes from --coverage-clover in npm run test:coverage.
  • PHPUnit 12 no longer reads @group doc-comment annotations, so all 181 groups had silently become inert — --list-groups reported only default. They are now #[Group(...)] attributes, supported by PHPUnit 10.5 through 12. This is also why the docstring-coverage check dropped: the removed doc-comments contained nothing but @group.
  • Five expectation-free mocks became createStub(), which clears the corresponding PHPUnit 12 notices.
  • The TLS fixtures in tests/keys had expired on 5 Feb 2026 and 1 Mar 2026. This blocked more than the two HTTPS tests: tests/server.js runs a TLS self-check at startup whose error handler calls process.exit(0), so an expired certificate killed the test server outright. They are re-issued from the existing private keys, so the pinned CURLOPT_PINNEDPUBLICKEY hash is unchanged and only the SHA-1 peer_fingerprint needed updating. tests/gencerts.sh gained a RESIGN=1 mode and now emits real X509v3 extensions (SAN, basicConstraints), which Node >= 18 requires.
  • PARSE_TEST_HTTP_PORT, PARSE_TEST_HTTPS_PORT and PARSE_TEST_DATABASE_URI make the test server configurable, defaulting to the current values, so the suite can run alongside an existing local Parse stack.
  • ParseAudienceTest::testPushWithAudience now polls for the audience counters. PushController updates them with a deliberately un-awaited write (// Don't wait for the audience update promise to resolve.), so reading them immediately after the push raced the server and failed intermittently on loaded runners.

CI

  • Matrix extended to PHP 8.4 and 8.5, keeping the apt/ondrej setup from ci: Replace shivammathur/setup-php with direct apt commands #523 and adding xdebug, which was missing — npm run test:coverage was collecting nothing.
  • ubuntu-20.04ubuntu-latest; the 20.04 runner has been retired by GitHub.
  • MongoDB is started with docker run mongo:6.0 --replSet rs0. The prestart script (mongodb-runner pinned to MongoDB 4.0.4) cannot provision on a current runner and was removed.
  • The phpDocumentor phar is checksum-verified before it is executed, in all three workflows and in the contributor instructions.

Testing

Verified locally on PHP 8.2, 8.3 and 8.5 against parse-server 6.1.0-alpha.10: phpcs clean and 604/604 tests passing with both the cURL and the stream client, with no PHP deprecation reported by PHPUnit.

TODOs before merging

  • Add changes to documentation (guides, repository pages, in-code descriptions)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Compatibility

    • Supports PHP 8.1 and newer, including PHP 8.4 and PHP 8.5.
    • Updated PHPUnit and PHP CodeSniffer compatibility across supported versions.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved HTTP response handling for non-ASCII content.
    • Enhanced compatibility with newer PHP stream response APIs.
    • Improved validation for configurable test server ports.
  • Documentation

    • Updated installation, testing, documentation-generation, coverage, and TLS setup guidance.
  • Maintenance

    • Modernized automated builds, releases, and documentation generation for more reliable validation.

Fix implicitly nullable parameter, `$http_response_header` and `curl_close`
deprecations, lift the `<8.3` upper bound and drop phpDocumentor from
require-dev as it cannot be installed on PHP 8.5. Renew the expired test
certificates, make the test server ports configurable and extend CI to 8.1-8.5.

🚀 Thanks for opening this pull request! We appreciate your effort in improving the project. Please let us know once your pull request is ready for review.

Tip

  • Keep pull requests small. Large PRs will be rejected. Break complex features into smaller, incremental PRs.
  • Use Test Driven Development. Write failing tests before implementing functionality. Ensure tests pass.
  • Group code into logical blocks. Add a short comment before each block to explain its purpose.
  • We offer conceptual guidance. Coding is up to you. PRs must be merge-ready for human review.
  • Our review focuses on concept, not quality. PRs with code issues will be rejected. Use an AI agent.
  • Human review time is precious. Avoid review ping-pong. Inspect and test your AI-generated code.

Note

Please respond to review comments from AI agents just like you would to comments from a human reviewer. Let the reviewer resolve their own comments, unless they have reviewed and accepted your commit, or agreed with your explanation for why the feedback was incorrect.

Caution

Pull requests must be written using an AI agent with human supervision. Pull requests written entirely by a human will likely be rejected, because of lower code quality, higher review effort and the higher risk of introducing bugs. Please note that AI review comments on this pull request alone do not satisfy this requirement. Our CI and AI review are safeguards, not development tools. If many issues are flagged, rethink your development approach. Invest more effort in planning and design rather than using review cycles to fix low-quality code.

Parse Server updates `_Audience` timesUsed/lastUsed without awaiting the
write, so reading them right after the push races the server and fails
intermittently on loaded CI runners.

Comment thread tests/Parse/ParseAudienceTest.php Outdated
The phar was downloaded from a GitHub release and executed without any
integrity check, so a replaced release asset would run arbitrary code in
the CI and Pages publishing workflows. Pin the expected SHA-256 instead.
PHP treats the env value "0" as unset while Node accepts it as an
ephemeral port, so both ends now reject anything outside 1-65535. Also
wait for the exact audience counter instead of any non-null value.

⚠️ Outside the diff — Restrict the docs job token to read-only access.

Agreed, applied in 2271924, but at the workflow level rather than on the docs job alone:

# Every job only reads the repository; codecov is uploaded with its own token.
permissions:
  contents: read

ci.yml declared no permissions block at all, so all three jobs inherited whatever the repository or organisation defaults grant, not just docs. None of them write to the repository: check-lock-file-version and build only check out and run the test suite, and the codecov upload uses its own token. Scoping the whole workflow removes the same exposure from every job instead of one, and matches what #522 did for the release workflows.
