Thank you @wkr1shna!

Sorry, I had already work done for this on #3574681: [Nov 2026] Introduce support for PHPUnit 13.5, so it's easier for me to dump it here rather then review your input. Let's restart from here.

If you are interested on getting PHPUnit 13 in Drupal, there's plenty of work to do! You can look at open issues tagged 'PHPUnit 13', or at the current failures of #3574681: [Nov 2026] Introduce support for PHPUnit 13.5 and open issues for the things that are failing.

Thank you for the guidance! No worries at all. I’m definitely interested in contributing further to the PHPUnit 13 effort. I’ll go through the open issues and current failures to find something I can work on.

All of the code changes look correct. Observant reviewers may notice that there are a few instances where expectExceptionMessageIs() is already in use and the expected message is being changed. That's because those messages are incorrect. You have to test with PHPUnit 13.2+ to get those failures. The easiest way to do that is to install the MR from #3574681: [Nov 2026] Introduce support for PHPUnit 13.5, revert the changes to those tests, then run the tests. You'll get failures noting that the exception messages are incorrect.

I also grepped Core for any remaining instances of expectExceptionMessage(). The only two left are in ForwardCompatibilityTrait.

This looks good to me.

This would need a backport to 12.0 for #3574681: [Nov 2026] Introduce support for PHPUnit 13.5.

FYI this doesn't backport cleanly so will need a new MR:

Backport. There have been a couple of commits that were main only, and the MR for main was including fixes for those, that are missing in 12.0.x.
