v2 requires javaabu/helpers, which pins javaabu/settings ^1.7 and activitylog 4 (conflicts with settings v2 and activitylog v2) #18
Description
From javaabu/permissions v3 (next-gen), which now requires javaabu/forms ^2.0@dev for its Blade role pages.
forms v2's composer.json requires javaabu/helpers ^1.74. helpers 1.74 requires javaabu/settings ^1.7, which requires spatie/laravel-activitylog ^4.8:
javaabu/forms dev-next-gen → javaabu/helpers ^1.74 → javaabu/settings ^1.7 → spatie/laravel-activitylog ^4.8
In the plan (PLAN.md), javaabu/settings v2 and javaabu/activitylog v2 both depend on javaabu/permissions. With permissions → forms → helpers → settings ^1.7:
- settings v2 can't install permissions at all (its own root version 2.x conflicts with settings ^1.7 further down), and
- an app can't have settings v2 (or an activitylog v2 that moves off spatie activitylog 4) together with any package that uses forms v2.
permissions v3 dropped its own javaabu/helpers dependency for exactly this reason (Javaabu/permissions#14), but it now comes back through forms.
Suggested: drop javaabu/helpers from forms v2's require. Inline what forms uses from it, or move those helpers into a dependency-free package. At minimum, don't pull in javaabu/settings. A CI check that composer why javaabu/settings is empty would keep it that way.

Drop javaabu/helpers so forms doesn't constrain javaabu/settings; fix…

Fixed in cdc4bae on
next-gen(CI green). forms v2 no longer requiresjavaabu/helpers, so it no longer pulls injavaabu/settings. The only thing forms used from helpers wasAllowedMimeTypesplusformat_file_size(); those now ship asJavaabu\Forms\Support\MimeTypes, with the same lists inresources/data/mime-types.phpand a test that compares them with helpers. If an app has javaabu/helpers, forms still readsAllowedMimeTypes, so registered types keep working; apps without it useMimeTypes::register(). Size limits come from javaabu/settings when installed, elseforms.defaults.max_upload_file_size(10240 KB). helpers is now insuggestandrequire-dev. The Pint CI job fails ifjavaabu/settingsorjavaabu/helpersever appears incomposer show --tree --no-dev. Documented indocs/upgrading.md(Requirements; File types without javaabu/helpers).
