Error Identifier: requireImplements.onTrait

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);

interface Loggable
{
}

/**
 * @phpstan-require-implements Loggable
 */
class MyClass
{
}

Why is it reported? #

The @phpstan-require-implements PHPDoc tag is used on a class, interface, or enum instead of a trait. This tag is only valid on traits, where it restricts which classes can use the trait by requiring them to implement a specific interface.

How to fix it #

Move the tag to a trait, or use implements directly:

 <?php declare(strict_types = 1);
 
 interface Loggable
 {
 }

-/**
- * @phpstan-require-implements Loggable
- */
-class MyClass
+class MyClass implements Loggable
 {
 }

How to ignore this error #

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

// @phpstan-ignore requireImplements.onTrait
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:
