Error Identifier: class.extendsDeprecatedClass

Every error reported by PHPStan has an error identifier. Here’s a list of all error identifiers. In PHPStan Pro you can see the error identifier next to each error and filter errors by their identifiers.

Code example #

<?php declare(strict_types = 1);

/** @deprecated Use NewBaseClass instead */
class OldBaseClass
{
}

class Foo extends OldBaseClass
{
}

Why is it reported? #

This error is reported by the phpstan-deprecation-rules extension.

A class extends a class that has been marked as @deprecated. Extending deprecated classes ties your code to implementations that are planned for removal.

In the example above, class Foo extends OldBaseClass, which is deprecated.

How to fix it #

Replace the deprecated base class with its recommended replacement:

 <?php declare(strict_types = 1);
 
-class Foo extends OldBaseClass
+class Foo extends NewBaseClass
 {
 }

How to ignore this error #

You can use the identifier class.extendsDeprecatedClass to ignore this error using a comment:

// @phpstan-ignore class.extendsDeprecatedClass
codeThatProducesTheError();

You can also use only the identifier key to ignore all errors of the same type in your configuration file in the ignoreErrors parameter:

parameters:
	ignoreErrors:
		-
			identifier: class.extendsDeprecatedClass
