README

Extension for PHPStan to allow analysis of Magento 1 code. It doesn't require db connection to run.

Usage

Add phpstan.neon to your Magento 1/OpenMage project.

Make sure it has

includes:
    - vendor/macopedia/phpstan-magento1/extension.neon

Then run

composer require --dev macopedia/phpstan-magento1

Alternative Magento path

By default this extension assumes the Magento directory is %currentWorkingDirectory%/htdocs. You can adapt the path by changing the magentoRootPath parameter in the phpstan.neon file. Add to the project's phpstan.neon:

parameters:
    magentoRootPath: %currentWorkingDirectory%/htdocs

Example configuration file for analysing Magento Module

includes:
    - vendor/macopedia/phpstan-magento1/extension.neon
parameters:
    magentoRootPath: %currentWorkingDirectory%/htdocs
    paths:
        #lets start small with just our extensions
        - %currentWorkingDirectory%/app/code/local/VendorName/ModuleName
    excludePaths:
        - */Vendor/ModuleName/SomePathToExclude/*
    level: 0

Known Issues

Data/SQL scripts can't be tested

Since these scripts use a presumed $this variable due to being included from a setup class, work is needed to:

  • work out the correct setup class
  • somehow make phpstan aware of it for the file

Magento fluent interface classes aren't fluent for sub-classes

This causes subsequent calls to the class object to assume the scope of the super-class that defined the return type.

This is due to their PHPDoc not using the up to date way of specifying fluency with subclasses using $this as the type.

Options to resolve:

  • Avoid using the fluent interface on these classes
  • Patch Magento code to use $this as the return type
  • Define @method PHPDoc for the called methods in the subclass
  • Add the error to the parameters.ignoreErrors phpstan configuration to ignore it - this loses the ability to properly type the subseqent methods of the fluent interface

Mage_Core_Model_Abstract::load $id is not an integer

This is due to an inadequate PHPDoc of the load method of the Mage_Core_Model_Abstract class. It should have used a "mixed" type to support when a field is specified as the 2nd argument.

PHPStan extensions have no way of altering existing method parameters.

Options to resolve:

  • Patch the Magento code to use mixed as the $id parameter type
  • If available in the chain of super-classes, use the loadBy{Field} method, which has the correct parameter typing
  • Define @method PHPDoc in your class (which extends Mage_Core_Model_Abstract or a subclass of it) with the correct parameter types
  • Add the error to the parameters.ignoreErrors phpstan configuration to ignore it
