Installation

To use this extension, require it in Composer:, _(*3)

composer require --dev phpstan/phpstan-symfony

If you also install phpstan/extension-installer then you're all set!, _(*4)

If you don't want to use phpstan/extension-installer, include extension.neon in your project's PHPStan config:, _(*6)

includes:
    - vendor/phpstan/phpstan-symfony/extension.neon

To perform framework-specific checks, include also this file:, _(*7)

includes:
    - vendor/phpstan/phpstan-symfony/rules.neon

, _(*8)

Configuration

You have to provide a path to srcDevDebugProjectContainer.xml or similar XML file describing your container., _(*9)

parameters:
    symfony:
        containerXmlPath: var/cache/dev/srcDevDebugProjectContainer.xml
        # or with Symfony 4.2+
        containerXmlPath: var/cache/dev/srcApp_KernelDevDebugContainer.xml
        # or with Symfony 5+
        containerXmlPath: var/cache/dev/App_KernelDevDebugContainer.xml
    # If you're using PHP config files for Symfony 5.3+, you also need this for auto-loading of `Symfony\Config`:
    scanDirectories:
        - var/cache/dev/Symfony/Config

Constant hassers

Sometimes, when you are dealing with optional dependencies, the ::has() methods can cause problems. For example, the following construct would complain that the condition is always either on or off, depending on whether you have the dependency for service installed:, _(*10)

if ($this->has('service')) {
    // ...
}

In that case, you can disable the ::has() method return type resolving like this:, _(*11)

parameters:
    symfony:
        constantHassers: false

Be aware that it may hide genuine errors in your application., _(*12)

Analysis of Symfony Console Commands

You can opt in for more advanced analysis of Symfony Console Commands by providing the console application from your own application. This will allow the correct argument and option types to be inferred when accessing $input->getArgument() or $input->getOption()., _(*13)

parameters:
    symfony:
        consoleApplicationLoader: tests/console-application.php

Symfony 4:, _(*14)

// tests/console-application.php

use App\Kernel;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Console\Application;

require __DIR__ . '/../config/bootstrap.php';
$kernel = new Kernel($_SERVER['APP_ENV'], (bool) $_SERVER['APP_DEBUG']);
return new Application($kernel);

Symfony 5:, _(*15)

// tests/console-application.php

use App\Kernel;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Console\Application;
use Symfony\Component\Dotenv\Dotenv;

require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

(new Dotenv())->bootEnv(__DIR__ . '/../.env');

$kernel = new Kernel($_SERVER['APP_ENV'], (bool) $_SERVER['APP_DEBUG']);
return new Application($kernel);

Single Command Application:, _(*16)

// tests/console-application.php

use App\Application; // where Application extends Symfony\Component\Console\SingleCommandApplication
use Symfony\Component\Console;

require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

$application = new Console\Application();
$application->add(new Application());

return $application;

You may then encounter an error with PhpParser:, _(*17)

Compile Error: Cannot Declare interface PhpParser\NodeVisitor, because the name is already in use, _(*18)

If this is the case, you should create a new environment for your application that will disable inlining. In config/packages/phpstan_env/parameters.yaml:, _(*19)

parameters:
    container.dumper.inline_class_loader: false

Call the new env in your console-application.php:, _(*20)

$kernel = new \App\Kernel('phpstan_env', (bool) $_SERVER['APP_DEBUG']);
