• Self Hosted

Operating systems
Ubuntu 20.04

PHP versions

To Reproduce

- name: Setup PHP
  uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
  with:
    php-version: '8.1'
    tools: composer:v2
    extensions: bcmath, curl, dom, event, gd, intl, libxml, mailparse, mbstring, pcntl, pdo, pdo_mysql, redis, uuid, xml, zip

Screenshots/Logs

Additional context
This is a build we're migrating from another CI for a Symfony application, the job starts up MySQL and Redis and installs wkhtmltopdf before setting up PHP and Node.

Are you willing to submit a PR?
If I knew how to fix it, sure!

I will add support for event extension in the next release.

Currently on ubuntu you can use the API we have to specify libraries for extensions and it should install correctly.

- name: Setup PHP
  uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
  with:
    php-version: '8.1'
    tools: composer:v2
    extensions: bcmath, curl, dom, event, gd, intl, libxml, mailparse, mbstring, pcntl, pdo, pdo_mysql, redis, uuid, xml, zip
    coverage: none
  env:
    EVENT_LIBS: libevent-dev

[shivammathur]

Improved support for event in the 2.20.0 release. It should now work without EVENT_LIBS.
