Drupal Console isn't compatible with Symfony components ~3.2

[anavarre]

Update Symfony components to ~3.2 was committed and breaks installing Drupal Console (up to RC18) when chasing HEAD (8.4.x)

When reverting to Git commit hash 4d80891 (that is, just before the Symfony components ~3.2 commit) it installs just fine.

@anavarre do you know the ETA for 8.4?

[anavarre]

ETA is ~6 months from the day 8.3.0 was released, so around October 2017. See core release cycle.

That being said, chasing HEAD means 8.4.x is being used already by developers.

[jmolivas]

I will make development branch compatible with latest drupal dev branch 8.4 in this case.

[anavarre]

Sounds good. Let me know if you end up doing so, I will switch drucker to use the dev branch, then.

[socketwench]

Running into the same thing here for Dropwhale.

[jmolivas]

@socketwench are you also using Drupal 8.4.x?

[socketwench]

Well yeah, since typically you're developing against Drupal HEAD for modules.

[timmillwood]

Same issue here too.

[SOLUTIONS-AT]

Same problem here...

[lpeabody]

Also running into this, but against a Drupal 8.3.2 codebase.

[SOLUTIONS-AT]

Is there an update on this?

[jmolivas]

Yes development branch will updated the later next week early Aug.

[hejiann]

Is there any method for using drupal console on drupal 8.4.x?

[anavarre]

FYI there's an issue about ugprading to 3.3 https://www.drupal.org/node/2874909

[RainbowArray]

Any updates on this? I ran into this at sprints at Twin Cities Drupal Camp and spent several hours trying to get Drupal Console working with 8.4.x to no avail. From everything I can see it's this discrepancy in symfony/console versions that is causing this problem.

Would really like to see this resolved as there are multiple issues opened with this same issue, and it can cause severe setbacks trying to find a workaround, when as far as I can tell, there isn't one.

[anrizal]

+1
I can verify that 8.4.x results in similar issues, but 8.3.x works as expected.

To note:
This packaged is a requirement in https://github.com/drupal-composer/drupal-project
And to use drupal/core : ~8.4 you need to use drush/drush: "~9.0", maybe you can check with the drush package as well since Drush uses the latest version of dependencies from Symfony and Drupal console's dependencies (at the moment) are set to v2.8* max.

As the first alpha of 8.4.0 is planned in about two weeks (https://groups.drupal.org/node/517148), the need for a compatible DC release will likely become more urgent for a lot of dev projects soon.
