This week I will be kicking off development for phpstan-drupal after [Florida DrupalCamp astoundingly met my funding goals](https://mglaman.dev/blog/florida-drupalcamp-funding-d9-and-php-8-support-phpstan-drupal). Since this open source work and I am being funded publicly, I plan to do as much development over live streams as possible. I really enjoy live coding, and I hope it helps teach folks some tricks. I have been using [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFntxnFeNN9DXNNrPi4s4Hg) for my scheduled live streams, but I plan on giving Twitch a try. If you'd like to pop in and watch along as I work on the testing matrix for phpstan-drupal, follow me and get notified when I go live: . I plan on going live *at least* every Wednesday at 1 PM CST (7 PM UTC) for two hours. ## Next steps The first goal is to get concurrent testing of Drupal 8 and Drupal 9. You can run phpstan-drupal against Drupal 9 and find deprecations perfectly. It's just that I don't have any test coverage. I want to keep testing Drupal 8 to make sure Drupal 9 and 10 don't break Drupal 8 autoloading. I highly doubt they will, but the extension mimics Drupal's autoloading and kernel bootstrap. So there's a high chance of bugs. To do this, I need to get creative. Right now, Drupal 8 is added as a development dependency for the tests. I need it to support Drupal 9 or greater. That means I also need to make different test suites for PHPUnit. These would run based on the current Drupal major version being tested. Once this is set up, it is **straightforward** to add PHP 8 testing support. ![](/themes/custom/mglaman/images/headshot.webp)Thanks for reading I write about Drupal, PHP, and the quiet infrastructure behind large sites — caching, config, and testing. New posts land every week or two.
