Description

When methods have been typed, we have lost the ability to set false to htmlPattern since symfony 5.2:

    public function __construct(
        $pattern,
        string $message = null,
        string $htmlPattern = null,
        bool $match = null,
        callable $normalizer = null,
        array $groups = null,
        $payload = null,
        array $options = []
    ) {

string|boolean|null is written in the documentation: https://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/constraints/Regex.html#htmlpattern

How to reproduce

#[Assert\Regex('/^FOO\d{5}$/', htmlPattern: false)]
private ?string $code = null;

Possible Solution

We need to fix:

• type of parameter htmlPattern of method __construct() from ?string to string|bool|null
• type of property htmlPattern from ?string to string|bool|null
• revert modification in the method getHtmlPattern introduces in symfony/validator@4eed24f about useless empty instruction (or better, i guess, return null if htmlPattern is identical to false)

Additional Context

Workaround in FormType:

        $builder
            ->add('code', null, [
                'help' => 'Format: FOO00000',
                'attr' => [
                    'pattern' => false,
                ]
            ])
        ;
