Unable to install Couchbase extention on ubuntu 20.04 & php 8.0

[StuMason]

Describe the bug
The following stanza was working previously for us:

     - name: Setup PHP with PECL extension
        uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
        with:
          php-version: "8.0"
          extensions: couchbase
        env:
          fail-fast: true

However this is now failing, it's taking around 15 minutes to complete, and gives the following error:

fwiw, it's just worked on Ubuntu 22.04 after 10 minutes:

@StuMason

Last week a new version of couchbase extension 4.0.0 was released which ships with a new C++ library version. I will fix this in the next release. Till then please use ubuntu-22.04 which should work.

Also, you should have a look at caching the couchbase extension as it takes 10 minutes to build.

I am getting the same problem with PHP7.4 on ubuntu-20.04. I have to stay on the v2 of libcouchbase/couchbase extension because v3 and v4 are not API compatible.

I suspect, that upgrading to ubuntu-22.04 will give me v4 right? And if so, is there a way to stay on couchbase extension v2? I tried changing my extensions option to include "couchbase-2" but that did not help.

In the next release, instead of upgrading to v4 for now, I will wait till v4 becomes a bit stable as it fails to compile on some configurations. So it will be v2 till PHP 7.1 and v3 for 7.2 and above by default.

But, you will be able to specify the exact version of couchbase you want after the next release as per the example below. I plan to do the release on Monday next week.

- name: Setup PHP
  uses: shivammathur@setup-php@v2
  with:
    php-version: '7.4'
    extensions: couchbase-2.6.2

[shivammathur]

Released 2.19.0 with the fix.

I managed to add support for couchbase 4. So that will be default on PHP 7.4 and above. But you can specify the exact semver version in extensions input if you want an older version.
