I think I'll need your help to test the deploy/build please @brindasasi 😄

Uh oh, looks like you might have some more to do on this one. I have no idea what this means - some googling I guess. 😁

Maybe PHP 8.2 isn't available in this image? The later image has less options for PHP? Very strange... What are we going to do when this image becomes deprecated?

OK, I found out more about it.
actions/runner-images#6331
It looks like they removed any non-official PHP sources in the image. Since Ubuntu 22.04 came with PHP 8.1 that's the only one available.

In the linked page they recommend using setup-php to get other versions of PHP. Like we already do in our GH workflows, I guess.

No luck 🤕

@petertgiles Great question, not sure there is much we can do if the new trend continues for runners where they only include support for one version of PHP. The newest Ubuntu runner, Ubuntu 24.04, only supports 8.3 which would mean we would be forced to upgrade the runner and the PHP version we use at the exact same time. Also, it would mean that we would be stuck with both until a new runner version is released.

Using setup-php works in our GitHub workflows because it is a GitHub action, but there isn't an equivalent task (as they are known in Azure Pipelines) for Azure Pipelines, or at least that I could find. My guess that the documentation that shows how to set a different PHP version was relevant for runners that had multiple versions of PHP installed (for example, ubuntu-20.04) but not for anything >=22.04.

😨 Also, strange that there cases where the runner is actually using the ondrej/php ppa:

Yeah, I was looking at the setup-php action to see how it works and I think it's just using the ondrej PPA for Ubuntu. It makes me a little nervous to use a third party PPA to build our software but of course we're using this in an action already and it's not an obscure source. I think we'll just end up having to add this to our pipeline.
