PHP 8.4 throws deprecation in intervention/image library

[yani]

The library fails on PHP 8.4 because lasserafn/php-initial-avatar-generator 4.4 requires intervention/image:^2.3 and throws this deprecation:

Intervention\Image\Gd\Driver::__construct(): Implicitly marking parameter $decoder as nullable is deprecated, the explicit nullable type must be used instead

I think updating to intervention/image:^3.0 should fix it.

Have anybody solved this problem? Maybe there's a fork with a fix?

It is not really a problem to fix.
Which version of PHP with which version of Intervention Image do you need?

[yurikuzn]

It's hard to tell for sure in which exactly version intervention/image fixed the deprecation issue, as they rewrote the problem class significantly.

Ideally, is to support all currently officially supported PHP versions (8.2-8.5). The latest intervention/image v3.11 supports PHP versions >=8.1. I believe upgrading to it would be fine. Not sure about breaking changes though.

I created a PR. Fixed breaking changes. #71

One can try by updating their composer.json.

composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "lasserafn/php-initial-avatar-generator": "dev-update-image-lib#a46ab8f1427f93c5b37957e739205da7fcca0290"
    },
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/yurikuzn/php-initial-avatar-generator.git"
        }
    ],
}
