The PHP ecosystem is very rich and mature, and offers you a lot of stable and widely used tools, frameworks and libraries. Symfony evolved long ago from a monolithic framework into a collection of very useful and reliable components, but one component in particular (in my opinion) really stands out: Symfony Messenger.

In a single package, you have an easy way to dispatch messages and tasks to sync and async handling, with enough abstraction to support a variety of transports natively, and a long list of useful patterns already implemented and ready to be used out of the box.

I noticed that, since Paraunit 2, the recap at the end of the execution got very long. This was due to an improper serialization of the logs, where the test name was treated as a generic Test value object instead of a specific TestMethod one, where the class name is shown split form the method name.

This small new patch, released after nearly a year from the last one, just adds support for Symfony 7; it didn’t require any code change.

This new minor should just add support for Symfony 7, but in reality it contains a lot of work. The CI for this library wasn’t active for a long time, so a lot of issues and deprecations where making it fail…

This small new release just adds support to Symfony 7; it was needed while doing the same work on the facile-it/mongodb-messenger-transport package.
