  • Analyze CI failures (deprecated actions/cache@v4.0.2, actions/upload-artifact@v3)
  • Fix HtmlMin.php: null parentNode check in protectTagHelper
  • Fix HtmlMinDomObserverOptimizeAttributes.php: use removeAttribute() for correct attribute sorting on PHP 8

This pull request updates the PHPUnit configuration, improves attribute removal logic, and adds a patch to ensure compatibility with newer libxml2 versions by updating placeholder element names in the AbstractDomParser. Additionally, it includes a null-check for parent nodes to prevent potential errors. While the use of Reflection to modify private static properties is a necessary workaround for the libxml2 compatibility issue, it introduces tight coupling to internal implementation details that may require maintenance if the underlying dependency changes.

Using ReflectionProperty to modify static private properties of AbstractDomParser can be fragile. This approach creates a tight coupling to the internal implementation details of the AbstractDomParser class. If the AbstractDomParser class changes its internal structure (e.g., renames domHtmlWrapperHelper or domHtmlSpecialScriptHelper), this patch will break. While it addresses a compatibility issue with libxml2, it's a workaround that might require re-evaluation if the dependency is updated.

Summary

Updates the GitHub CI pipeline to remove deprecated actions and fixes PHP/libxml2 compatibility issues that caused test failures.
CI Workflow (ci.yml)

Fix deprecated actions/cache@v4.0.2 → actions/cache@v4
Fix deprecated actions/upload-artifact@v3 → actions/upload-artifact@v4
Fix deprecated ::set-output → $GITHUB_OUTPUT
Update shivammathur/setup-php@2.16.0 → @v2
Update PHP matrix: drop EOL 7.0-7.2, add 8.2/8.3 (now: 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3)
Update phpstan condition from PHP 7.4 to 8.1

Source fixes (HtmlMin.php, HtmlMinDomObserverOptimizeAttributes.php)

Fix null parentNode crash (HtmlMin.php): Add null check in protectTagHelper (same fix as PR Fix PHP 8.5 deprecation warnings, tests #110)
Fix attribute sort ordering (HtmlMinDomObserverOptimizeAttributes.php): Use removeAttribute() instead of property assignment — PHP 8 added id and prefix as native DOMElement properties, so $element->{$attrName} = null was hitting property_exists() and setting them to '' instead of removing, breaking alphabetical sort (same fix as PR Fix PHP 8.5 deprecation warnings, tests #110)
Fix invalid placeholder element names (HtmlMin.php): The simple_html_dom vendor library uses element names starting with underscores as DOM placeholders (____simple_html_dom__voku__...). These are invalid HTML and newer libxml2 treats them as broken text nodes. Uses PHP Reflection in the HtmlMin constructor to patch these static properties to valid custom element names (htmlmin-wrapper, htmlmin-special-script). The patch is idempotent (checks value before applying).

Config/tests

Migrate phpunit.xml to phpunit 9.3 schema format (removes deprecation warning)
Update test expectations to reflect correctly sorted attributes and behavior changes in newer libxml2

Code Review

This pull request updates the PHPUnit configuration to version 9.3 and introduces a reflection-based patch in the HtmlMin constructor to ensure compatibility with newer libxml2 versions by using valid custom element names. Additionally, it adds a null check for parent nodes in protectTagHelper and switches to removeAttribute for attribute cleanup. Feedback suggests optimizing the reflection logic by using a static variable to ensure it only executes once per request.

To improve performance, this reflection-based patch should only run once per request. Using a static variable ensures the patching logic is executed only during the first instantiation of HtmlMin, avoiding redundant reflection overhead on subsequent instantiations.

        static $isDomParserPatched = false;
        if ($isDomParserPatched === false) {
            // Patch simple_html_dom's placeholder element names to use valid HTML custom
            // element names. The default names (starting with underscores) are treated as

            // This is idempotent: it checks the current value before patching.
            $ref = new \ReflectionProperty(\voku\helper\AbstractDomParser::class, 'domHtmlWrapperHelper');
            $ref->setAccessible(true);
            if (\strpos((string) $ref->getValue(), '____') === 0) {
                $ref->setValue(null, 'htmlmin-wrapper');

                $ref2 = new \ReflectionProperty(\voku\helper\AbstractDomParser::class, 'domHtmlSpecialScriptHelper');
                $ref2->setAccessible(true);
                $ref2->setValue(null, 'htmlmin-special-script');
            }
            $isDomParserPatched = true;
        }

…nd docblock

- Move placeholder patching from constructor into patchSimpleHtmlDomPlaceholders()
  so it has a self-documenting name and reduced cognitive complexity in the ctor
- Add try/catch with trigger_error warning so a failed patch (e.g. after a
  vendor rename) is surfaced rather than silently broken
- Docblock explains: why Reflection is necessary (self:: compile-time binding
  makes subclassing ineffective), the libxml2 version where the issue appears,
  and a TODO for when upstream fixes the placeholder names

@copilot Review the following cleaned github pull request excerpt.
Focus on the substantive content and ignore any residual site chrome.

...

The concern about tight coupling is valid. Subclassing won't help here because all vendor accesses use self:: (compile-time binding), which always resolves to the declaring class (AbstractDomParser/HtmlDomParser) regardless of the instantiated subclass — so Reflection is the only external option that works.

I've addressed the fragility concern in db1e512 by:

  • Extracting the patch into a dedicated patchSimpleHtmlDomPlaceholders() private static method with a docblock explaining why Reflection is necessary and a TODO marking when it can be removed
  • Adding try/catch with trigger_error(E_USER_WARNING) so that if the upstream ever renames or removes these properties, the failure surfaces as a warning rather than silently breaking or throwing an uncaught exception
