Q A
Branch 7.2
Bug fix yes
New feature no
Deprecations no
Issues Fix #43921
License MIT

This simple fix checks for null parent nodes when traversing the DOM tree when calling the closest() function. Instead of failing, the function will return null instead. This bring it into alignment with how the ancestors() function behaves (not failing on null parent nodes).

Null parent nodes can occur when a DOM branch is orphaned due to manipulations on the document, and this is a perfectly normal scenario.

Unit tests added that checks for this specific bug.

This fix should not break any backward compatibility.

Hey!

I see that this is your first PR. That is great! Welcome!

Symfony has a contribution guide which I suggest you to read.

In short:

  • Always add tests
  • Keep backward compatibility (see https://symfony.com/bc).
  • Bug fixes must be submitted against the lowest maintained branch where they apply (see https://symfony.com/releases)
  • Features and deprecations must be submitted against the 7.3 branch.

Review the GitHub status checks of your pull request and try to solve the reported issues. If some tests are failing, try to see if they are failing because of this change.

When two Symfony core team members approve this change, it will be merged and you will become an official Symfony contributor!
If this PR is merged in a lower version branch, it will be merged up to all maintained branches within a few days.

I am going to sit back now and wait for the reviews.

Cheers!
