Error Identifier: method.deprecatedTrait

← Back to method.*

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 NewHelper instead */
trait OldHelper
{
	public function help(): void {}
}

class Foo
{
	/** @param OldHelper $x */
	public function doFoo($x): void
	{
		$x->help();
	}
}

Why is it reported? #

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

A method is called on a value whose type is a deprecated trait. The trait has been marked with @deprecated, indicating it is scheduled for removal. Calling methods on deprecated trait types means the code depends on functionality that will eventually be removed.

How to fix it #

Replace the deprecated trait type with its recommended replacement:

 class Foo
 {
-	/** @param OldHelper $x */
+	/** @param NewHelper $x */
 	public function doFoo($x): void
 	{
 		$x->help();
 	}
 }

How to ignore this error #

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

// @phpstan-ignore method.deprecatedTrait
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: method.deprecatedTrait
