Error Identifier: property.deprecatedTrait

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 */
class Helper
{
	public int $value = 0;
}

class Service
{
	/** @var Helper */
	public $helper;
}

Why is it reported? #

The property’s native type declaration references a deprecated trait (or class that is actually a trait). Continuing to use deprecated types couples code to APIs that are planned for removal.

This also triggers when accessing a property of an object whose declaring class is deprecated.

How to fix it #

Replace the deprecated type with its recommended replacement:

 class Service
 {
-	/** @var Helper */
-	public $helper;
+	/** @var NewHelper */
+	public $helper;
 }

How to ignore this error #

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

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