The PropertyInfo component lists the phpdocumentor/reflection-docblock package as a developer dependency in require-dev:
symfony/src/Symfony/Component/PropertyInfo/composer.json
Lines 29 to 35 in 6651087
However, the PhpDocExtractor class depends on an interface and a class from that package without you using it directly.
The PropertyInfo component documentation states:
PhpDocExtractor
This extractor depends on the
phpdocumentor/reflection-docblocklibrary.
https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/property_info.html#phpdocextractor
I believe when the non-tests related code of the component has a dependency on a package, it should be in require instead of require-dev.
This caused a problem for us in production when we had the documentor package installed in development, but not listed in neither our own require nor require-dev dependencies as we do not use it anywhere in our code.
