Guidance requested: tracking down Github actions failure

[Muffinman]

Hi,

I'm trying to work out why my test are failing in Github actions only - but runs absolutely fine with php artisan test locally.

https://github.com/Muffinman/InfiniteConflict/runs/5610806470?check_suite_focus=true

Some tests were failing with 403 errors, and after a bit of guesswork I tracked this down to my authorize() methods on Laravel FormRequest classes.

https://github.com/Muffinman/InfiniteConflict/commit/70dab7a7c7097fceb84da18eb739c02ad70e219a

After this commit the tests now pass:

https://github.com/Muffinman/InfiniteConflict/runs/5610824438?check_suite_focus=true

Has anyone experienced anything similar? Not sure how to debug this with Github actions.

Ah, I tracked this down to a PHP version difference, for some reason the tests fail on PHP8.0 but pass on PHP8.1.

I'll change my CI to 8.1!
