Thank you @yceruto.

I've encountered this deprecation warning today, but the message does clarify on how to resolve it.

What would be alternative to using Command::getDefaultName() is in the following use case?

    public function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output): int
    {
        $commandName = MyCommand::getDefaultName(); // 'hello:world' as defined in the AsCommand attribute

        $commandInput = new ArrayInput([]);
        $command = $this->getApplication()->find($commandName);
        $code = $command->run($commandInput, $output);

        if ($code !== Command::SUCCESS) {
            return Command::FAILURE;
        }

        return Command::SUCCESS;
    }

Do I need to start extacting the command name myself starting from 8.0?

@ToshY Indeed, that use case wasn't considered when deprecating these methods. I'd suggest hardcoding command names in such tests -- just like route paths for controllers in functional tests -- and check for all occurrences in case of renaming.

If you really want to get it programmatically from the command class name, you can either get it from the AsCommand attribute via Reflection or put the name in a constant referenced in both attribute construction and tests i.e. #[AsCommand(name: SomeCommand::NAME)]

FYI, the use case I sketched is not for a "test" (even though it could be). It is a use case on "how to call other commands". I've been using Command::getDefaultName() because I found using the hardcoded name when calling in several other commands a bit tedious, especially when someone decides to change the name and forgets to change it on other commands where it has been used/called.

Yes, I understand I would need to do either the reflection bit myself or indeed could use a constant for it. I just don't understand why it got deprecated, as #59473 (comment) only talks about deprecating name/description for consistency reasons.

It got deprecated because we don't need it anymore. I understand that the method was convenient for you, but it was never intended to be used that way.

Ah okay, I didn't know that. Thanks both for the clarification 👍
