#Symfony #PHP

Pas ultra fan de la spec mais l’initiative est cool 👍 A dispo si je peux aider for shure

I can finally (eventually) deprecate/archive the zenstruck/console-extra package and I couldn't be happier! The end goal of that package (and all my others) is to see the features in #Symfony core! ❤️❤️❤️

I can't wait to see all the cool things the community is gonna ship through the CLI thanks to this and all the huge improvements that've been made to the @symfony.com Console lately. Now looking forward to seeing how console-dependent libraries and framework can leverage these features 👀

This is the culmination of discussions that started 8 years ago 🚀 Special thanks to @alcaeus79.bsky.social, Théo Fidry, @zenstruck.com and @yceruto.bsky.social who helped a lot!

Merged 🎉
You can't imagine how proud I feel as life made me struggle to do anything beyond pure maintenance work on #OSS for the past 2 years.

Test output before Symfony 7.4

Test output as of Symfony 7.4

As of #Symfony 7.4, functional tests’ error rendering will finally get you straight to the point with a beautiful, concise output 🥳 Especially useful when doing large refactorings that make dozens of such tests fail while progressing.

Before/After 👇
