Error Identifier: staticProperty.deprecatedEnum

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 NewStatus instead */
enum OldStatus: string
{
	case Active = 'active';

	public static string $label = 'Status';
}

echo OldStatus::$label;

Why is it reported? #

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

A static property is accessed on an enum that is marked as @deprecated. Deprecated enums are scheduled for removal or replacement, and code should not rely on them.

How to fix it #

Use the recommended replacement enum or class:

-echo OldStatus::$label;
+echo NewStatus::$label;

If the calling code is itself deprecated, the error will not be reported. Mark the function or class as deprecated if it is part of a deprecation migration:

+/** @deprecated */
 function doFoo(): void
 {
 	echo OldStatus::$label;
 }

How to ignore this error #

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

// @phpstan-ignore staticProperty.deprecatedEnum
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: staticProperty.deprecatedEnum
