Error Identifier: staticProperty.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 */
trait OldHelper
{
	public static string $version = '1.0';
}

class MyClass
{
	use OldHelper;
}

echo OldHelper::$version;

Why is it reported? #

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

A static property is accessed on a trait that is marked as @deprecated. Deprecated traits are scheduled for removal or replacement. Accessing static properties on them ties the code to an API that will eventually be removed.

How to fix it #

Use the recommended replacement trait or class instead:

-echo OldHelper::$version;
+echo NewHelper::$version;

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 OldHelper::$version;
 }

How to ignore this error #

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

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