<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>PHP 8.4 is scheduled to be released on November 21, 2024. It would be good to test our contrib modules with PHP 8.4, even it’s still RC.</p>
<h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce</h4>
<p>With OPT_IN_TEST_MAX_PHP=1 it still runs 8.3</p>
<h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3>
<p>Before Drupal Core becomes compatible with PHP8.4, testing can be achieved using</p>
<pre>composer (max PHP version):<br> variables:<br> PHP_VERSION: $CORE_PHP_NEXT</pre><p>Run on PHP 8.4 when OPT_IN_TEST_MAX_PHP=1</p>
<h3 id="summary-remaining-tasks">Remaining tasks</h3>
<ol>
<li>Update <code>$CORE_PHP_NEXT</code> from 8.3 to 8.4</li>
<li>Create second MR to update <code>$CORE_PHP_MAX</code> from 8.3 to 8.4 when Drupal Core supports PHP8.4</li>
<li>Work on <span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link drupalorg-gitlab-link-wrapper"><a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/gitlab_templates/-/issues/3484055" class="drupalorg-gitlab-link">https://git.drupalcode.org/project/gitlab_templates/-/issues/3484055</a></span> because currently the "max" jobs should not be run</li>
