Ignore Error Extensions

Sometimes, you might want to ignore errors based on the Error, Node and Scope.

For example:

• Ignore missingType.iterableValue on controller methods (actions): when the method is public and it has #[Route] attribute or the class has #[AsController] attribute.
• Ignore should return int but returns int|null on getId for entities when the class has the #[Entity] attribute.
• Ignore never returns null so it can be removed from the return type when the method has #[GraphQL\Field] attribute.
• Enforce missingCheckedExceptionInThrows partially, only for specific classes.

You can create an extension that implements IgnoreErrorExtension.

use PhpParser\Node;
use PHPStan\Analyser\Error;
use PHPStan\Analyser\IgnoreErrorExtension;
use PHPStan\Analyser\Scope;
use PHPStan\Node\InClassMethodNode;

// This extension will ignore "missingType.iterableValue" errors for public Action methods inside Controller classes.
final class ControllerActionReturnTypeIgnoreExtension implements IgnoreErrorExtension
{
	public function shouldIgnore(Error $error, Node $node, Scope $scope): bool
	{
		if ($error->getIdentifier() !== 'missingType.iterableValue') {
			return false;
		}

		if (! $node instanceof InClassMethodNode) {
			return false;
		}

		if (!str_ends_with($node->getClassReflection()->getName(), 'Controller')) {
			return false;
		}

		if (!str_ends_with($node->getMethodReflection()->getName(), 'Action')) {
			return false;
		}

		if (!$node->getMethodReflection()->isPublic()) {
			return false;
		}

		return true;
	}
}

The implementation needs to be registered in your configuration file:

services:
	-
		class: MyApp\PHPStan\ControllerActionReturnTypeIgnoreExtension
		tags:
			- phpstan.ignoreErrorExtension
