psr/log dependency update

[macwinnie]

Hi,

I wanted to implement migrations in a small of my projects – and recently encountered that the dependency psr/log runs behind the current version(s):

Updating dependencies
Lock file operations: 17 installs, 1 update, 0 removals
...
  - Downgrading psr/log (3.0.0 => 1.1.4)
...

Is there a path to update dependencies within Phinx?

Thanks a lot

It seems like cakephp/datasource (which is a synonym for cakephp/cakephp as you see here ) requires psr/log ^1.1

-> % composer why -t psr/log
psr/log 1.1.4 Common interface for logging libraries
├──cakephp/datasource 4.3.3 (requires psr/log ^1.1)

You will be able to use psr/log v3 when CakePHP 5 is released. See https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/blob/5.x/composer.json#L37

Basically the return types added in v3 prevent us to upgrade current CakePHP 4 because currently we return the instance it is used in (see https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/blob/4.x/src/Database/Connection.php#L882)

But v3 requires a void return type which breaks functionality in CakePHP 4.

Closing this issue as it's not really something phinx can "fix" as it's blocked by upstream. You can voice support for #1754 to make cakephp/database an optional dependency which would solve this assuming you don't use the query builder interface.
