Something strange is happening with PHP 7.2. It works locally, but not on GitHub.

You're trying to install 2.0.53 on 7.2, and you have at least 7.3. I think these modifications should be done in a higher version, since it's the support for the PHPStan/Psalm annotations, which are the master version. For now, we should test the master version, and at least 7.4, and when the 2.0.54 release is done for the PHP 8.5 release, then release it with the minimum version of 2.0.54.

There is no point in supporting older versions, which do not have PHPStan/Psalm annotations.

We should test ci from 7.4 to 8.5.

I just don't understand how this relates to my latest changes.
I'm in favor of raising the minimum version to 7.4. I was just planning to do that in one of the next requests. Can I do it here, or is it better to raise the minimum version separately?

The CI fails because it tries to install 2.0.53 on 7.2 and its requirement in composer is 7.3. On the other hand, you are making the changes to be able to use the PHPStan/PSalm annotations correctly, so we should try the master (Yii2), which is the one that contains all the changes.

I mean, everything installed fine here: #319
But now for some reason it doesn't.

[terabytesoftw]

I think the problem is the new version of Composer; the commit version you mentioned uses 2.8.12, and the Composer version in this PR is 2.9.1, which introduces several new changes https://blog.packagist.com/composer-2-9/?s=09

https://packagist.org/packages/yiisoft/yii2/advisories?version=8224315

That's the only difference.

Sounds logical, thank you.

I've updated my answer; Composer now doesn't allow the installation of packages with vulnerabilities, it blocks them.

[mspirkov]

Then I'll make a PR tomorrow with raising PHP version to 7.4.

Then I'll make a PR tomorrow with raising PHP version to 7.4.

And to increase the Yii2 version, for this development we must test the master, which has all the latest changes in the documentation.
