Error Identifier: ignore.count

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 #

In phpstan.neon:

parameters:
	ignoreErrors:
		-
			message: '#Call to method Foo::bar\(\)#'
			path: src/Foo.php
			count: 1

This error is reported when the actual number of occurrences does not match the expected count.

Why is it reported? #

The ignored error pattern was expected to match a specific number of times (count), but occurred either more or fewer times than expected. For example, if count: 1 is specified but the error occurs 3 times, this identifier is reported.

This typically happens after code changes – a refactoring might introduce new instances of the error, or fix some of the existing ones, causing the count to drift from the configured value.

How to fix it #

Update the count to match the actual number of occurrences:

 parameters:
 	ignoreErrors:
 		-
 			message: '#Call to method Foo::bar\(\)#'
 			path: src/Foo.php
-			count: 1
+			count: 3

Or remove the count parameter to ignore all occurrences of the error:

 parameters:
 	ignoreErrors:
 		-
 			message: '#Call to method Foo::bar\(\)#'
 			path: src/Foo.php
-			count: 1

If the ignored error no longer applies, remove the entry entirely. Learn more about ignoring errors in Ignoring Errors.

How to ignore this error #

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

// @phpstan-ignore ignore.count
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: ignore.count
