Rector built-in `nikic/php-parser` overrides project dependency

[vjik]

Bug Report

Subject	Details
Rector version	v2.2.3

There is "nikic/php-parser": "^4.10" dependency in my project, but rector built-in dependency overrides it. Error throws:

Error: Call to undefined method PhpParser\ParserFactory::create()

Minimal PHP Code Causing Issue

(new ParserFactory())->create(ParserFactory::PREFER_PHP7)

Expected Behaviour

No errors.

Thanks for reporting. This is part of bigger issue with PHPUnit autoloading its own php-parser conflicting with Rector one's:
#9416

Could you share minimal reproducer repository? We'll add it to our test suite dedicated to this issue and fix it:

We'll need a minimal reproducer. E.g. 1-2 files and 2 dependencies, so we can add it to you test suite.

(new \PhpParser\ParserFactory())->create(\PhpParser\ParserFactory::PREFER_PHP7)

PHP 8.0
PhpUnit 9.6

We'll need the repository test. Seems couple deps are missing, so we can see the error.

@TomasVotruba I created test case PR for phpunit 10 + nikic/php-parser 4 class usage

@TomasVotruba Test is on https://github.com/rectorphp/rector-compat-tests/pull/7
Patch is on rectorphp/rector-src#7502

@vjik could you try latest dev-main? It is hard to make CI pass at

https://github.com/rectorphp/rector-compat-tests/actions/runs/18494807924/job/52697532373

I will just revert the test to fix CI.

probably due to interdependency

composer config minimum-stability dev
composer config prefer-stable true
composer update rector/rector:dev-main

Any updates here? Had to fix 2.2.1 version in my repo

[samsonasik]

@AtCliffUnderline could you try latest dev-main? If issue still persist, we will need reproducible repository.

I tried it, PhpUnit is work with this version in my case.

Thank you for verify. I am closing then, wait for next new release :)
