`Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionClass` "XXX" could not be found in the located source

Hey there,

Great tool! Excited to use this!
I tried running this on https://github.com/api-platform/core on the 2.2 branch:
bin/roave-backward-compatibility-check --from=v2.2.6 --to=HEAD
but receive:

In IdentifierNotFound.php line 30:

  Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionClass "Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type" could not be found in the located source

Couldn't immediately work out the problem to fix myself, so tracking an issue.

This usually happens when a parameter type or a return type cannot be resolved. Try running maglnet/ComposerRequireChecker to see if some dependencies are not strictly part of the project.

I see yes, dbal was a dev dependency. maybe it should be a suggested dep, and this tool should install suggestions?

[bendavies]

huh, i thought composer had a way to install suggestions, but apparently not.

[bendavies]

how about making BackwardCompatibilityCheck install dev dependencies?
The issue is that api-platform only enables some features if certain non mandatory deps are installed, but of course they included in require-dev for testing purposes.

I explicitly designed this so that only --no-dev is used, because --no-dev is what downstream consumers also get.

Currently writing a small patch that actually solves the problem by stubbing all unknown symbols (which are a problem for other libraries): stay tuned :-)

Same here. doctrine/dbal is just dev dependency.
