Message: “Call to undefined method Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputDefinition::hasNegation()” [“exception” => Error { …},“command” => “suitecrm:app:upgrade-finalize”,“message” => “Call to undefined method Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputDefinition::hasNegation()”]

Any tips how to solve this? I’m out of ideas.

How is your stack matching the Compatibility Matrix?

Does it match both the matrix for v7 and for v8?

I am sorry, I don’t know how to troubleshoot that error.

Which installation instruction are you following? Is it for development environment, or a normal installation? Where did you get your package from, is it the zipped installer, or did you fetch it from Git directly?

Now i have installed a brand new ubuntu 22.04 vm for troubeshooting. I have a working suitecrem 7.13.1 running and tried to upgrade to 8.2.3 using the instructions found here:

SuiteCRM 7.12.x migration to SuiteCRM 8.x :: SuiteCRM Documentation

I have used the zip installer from here:
https://suitecrm.com/download/128/suite82/561843/suitecrm-8-2-2-7-12-migration.zip

My setup is according to this compatibility matrix:
