Codeception: Compile Error: '\self' is an invalid class name

I’m trying to run: vendor/bin/codecept build with a test suite which one of its modules now has methods with a fluid interface, that is, they have as return type ‘: self’ and I get this error:

PHP Fatal error:  '\self' is an invalid class name in C:\...\tests\_build\support\_
generated\FunctionalTesterActions.php on line 4474

  Compile Error: '\self' is an invalid class name

Check out the failed build here.

@DavertMik used amOnPage and click methods in his example, but neither of them will be chainable without making breaking change in Web interface.

I think that it is fine to update interface in 5.0, but composer.json of framework modules and module-webdriver must be updated to require Codeception 5.
