Error Identifier: property.overrideAttribute

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);

class Base
{

	public int $value = 0;

}

class Child extends Base
{

	#[\Override]
	public int $value = 1;

}

Why is it reported? #

The #[\Override] attribute is being used on a property, but this feature is only supported on PHP 8.5 and later. On earlier PHP versions, the #[\Override] attribute is only valid on methods, not properties.

How to fix it #

Remove the #[\Override] attribute from the property if you are running a PHP version older than 8.5:

 <?php declare(strict_types = 1);
 
 class Base
 {

 	public int $value = 0;

 }

 class Child extends Base
 {

-	#[\Override]
 	public int $value = 1;

 }

Alternatively, upgrade to PHP 8.5 or later where property overrides with #[\Override] are supported.

Non-ignorable error #

This error cannot be ignored using @phpstan-ignore or the ignoreErrors configuration. Non-ignorable errors indicate code that would cause a crash or a fatal error at runtime, or a fundamental problem in the analysed code that must be addressed.
