psysh: cannot use any psysh command

I have installed psysh on my system using the command composer global require psy/psysh:@stable and, odd enough, I cannot use any of its command. Image below shows what’s happening:

Here is the output of lsb_release -a:

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Release:        20.04
Codename:       focal

Any ideas?

I’m keeping this issue open and pinned until the next symfony/console release to help everyone else out 😃

As of todays Symfony release(s), we’ve got green builds again 😃

Yes that is correct. I don’t think you can do much here except pin an issue with a clear workaround explainer in the top post, then wait it out.

In such cases I usually edit the OP with a big fat heading like:

Elsewhere, @reedy recommended making a new PsySH release with a conflict clause in composer.json:

"conflict": {
    "symfony/console": "4.4.37 || 5.3.14 || 5.4.3 || 6.0.3"
}

This is the same as #703 and #704, and is caused by a backwards compatibility break in the latest version(s) of symfony/console. The fix has been merged, and should be in the next release. Until then, you can work around it by pinning to symfony/console:6.0.2:

composer global require symfony/console:6.0.2
