Future of this bundle and a v5 release?

[alexislefebvre]

This bundle was created more than 10 years ago, when Symfony lacked some methods to ease testing.

Fixtures loading was moved to another bundle: https://github.com/liip/LiipFunctionalTestBundle/blob/3.x/UPGRADE-3.0.md

Now most of these methods can be replaced by Symfony methods (checking HTTP code, login, etc.), so many methods may be removed from this bundle.

CI must install doctrine/annotations to avoid an issue:

• Is doctrine/annotations still required? #653

So, if the next major release remove all the deprecated functions and the QueryCounter, what will remain?

We should check the docs:

• https://github.com/liip/LiipFunctionalTestBundle/blob/4.15.0/doc/basic.md
• https://github.com/liip/LiipFunctionalTestBundle/blob/4.15.0/doc/command.md does Symfony have helpers to test commands?
• https://github.com/liip/LiipFunctionalTestBundle/blob/4.15.0/doc/logged.md
• https://github.com/liip/LiipFunctionalTestBundle/blob/4.15.0/doc/query.md consider removing it
• https://github.com/liip/LiipFunctionalTestBundle/blob/4.15.0/doc/fastest.md I should try it in a project to see if this still works

Then summarize what can be removed or kept, and see if it’s worth releasing a new version if it only contain a few methods.

I removed all deprecations in GH-664 and most of the methods have been removed, so I think that it’s not worth releasing this.

Instead, we could deprecate all features and explain how to switch to Symfony’s built-in methods.
