PHPUnit 9.6 misses deprecation warning for withConsecutive() removed in PHPUnit 10

[SimonFrings]

Q	A
PHPUnit version	9.6.3
PHP version	8.1, 8.2
Installation Method	Composer

Summary

We read about the changes in PHPUnit 10 and the removal of withConsecutive() + its alternatives (#4564 and #4026), so starting with a smooth upgrade path for our projects by upgrading to PHPUnit 9.6 first seemed like a logical step. We expected to see deprecation warnings for withConsecutive(), as they have been deprecated in #5063. After running the test suite with 9.6.3, there was no output to inform us about any deprecation, so it seems to me that there are no warnings for this method implemented yet, but I think there should be.

I'm interested in your thoughts on this.

Btw, thanks for all the work you put into PHPUnit 👍

Adding @deprecated to the method declaration of withConsecutive() unfortunately is the only thing that we can do here due to the way the internals of PHPUnit 9 work.

In PHPUnit 10 we would simply trigger an event ("test used deprecated PHPUnit feature"), but in PHPUnit 9 we simply do not have a way to report deprecations in the test double system.
