IMO, would be better to use application name. ID is so meaningless.

@twister65 When doing a php cli/joomla.php list, I get a PHP fatal error in any case, with and without your PR applied, and with and without the debug system on:

PHP Fatal error: Declaration of Joomla\CMS\Application\ConsoleApplication::doExecute() must be compatible with Joomla\Console\Application::doExecute(): int in /home/richard/lamp/public_html/joomla-cms-4.0-dev/libraries/src/Application/ConsoleApplication.php on line 32

Am I making some mistake?

#25374

TL;DR someone needs to update the console application class to add missing typehints added to new API since the PHP minimum was raised from 7.0 to 7.2.

Thanks Michael.

@mbabker and/or @wilsonge Am I wrong or does the composer.json of J4 point to a 2.0-dev branch of the framework's console package (joomla/console), and that branch does not exist, so the console package is never updated with a composer update joomla/console in J4?

Sorry, was wrong.

@richard67 , to test you can replace this line:
https://github.com/twister65/joomla-cms/blob/bd271abc484a5ac25a5d1d365d20440d9dafc3e9/libraries/src/Application/ConsoleApplication.php#L126
by:
protected function doExecute(): int

waiting for a new PR...

@mbabker Hmm, composer update for the console package does not do anything. Maybe my previous comment was not so wrong?

@twister65 To fix that 1 line leads to the next error, so it needs to pull the latest changes from the framework for the console package. But a composer update does not do anything, so I think there is something wrong, see my comments above. If that will be done, I am sure also #25374 will be fixed.

If a composer update is not doing anything then that means the CMS already has the latest code. The problem is not needing another composer update, the problem is the CMS subclass of Joomla\Console\Application needs updates to match changes from the parent repo.

I see, thanks again Michael.
To all: Is there already anybody working on that?

PR for synching the function signatures in the subclass of the console application to the changes in the framework package as explained by Michael is PR #25391 . Thanks to @HLeithner for that.

@twister65 That PR is requirement for this PR here to be tested. Please test it.

@twister65 P.S.: When that other PR will be merged, you will have to rebase this here and solve merge conflicts.
