Changed

TestUtils

• The PHPCSUtils\TestUtils\UtilityMethodTestCase now uses the PHP_CodeSniffer LocalFile instead of the DummyFile class under the hood. #692

Fixed

TestUtils

• Prevent PHP 8.5 deprecation notices for Reflection*::setAccessible() in the PHPCSUtils\TestUtils\UtilityMethodTestCase and the PHPCSUtils\TestUtils\ConfigDouble classes. #695

Added

Compatibility with the new PHP_CodeSniffer 4.x branch in anticipation of the PHP_CodeSniffer 4.0 release. #674, #679
PHPCSUtils should now be fully compatible with PHP_CodeSniffer 4.0 (again). If you still find an issue, please report it.

PHPCS BackCompat

• BCFile::findExtendedClassName(): sync with PHPCS 4.0.0 - support for namespace relative names when used as the extended parent class name. #674
• BCFile::findImplementedInterfaceNames(): sync with PHPCS 4.0.0 - support for namespace relative names when used in implemented interface names. #674
• BCFile::getMemberProperties(): sync with PHPCS 3.12.0 - support for PHP 8.4 final properties. Thanks @DanielEScherzer! #646
• BCFile::getMemberProperties(): sync with PHPCS 3.13.1 - support for PHP 8.4 asymmetric visibility. #677
• BCFile::getMemberProperties(): sync with PHPCS 4.0.0. #674
  • Add support for PHP 8.4 properties in interfaces.
  • Removed parse error warning.
• BCFile::getMethodParameters(): sync with PHPCS 3.13.1 - support for PHP 8.4 asymmetric visibility. #677
• BCFile::findStartOfStatement(): sync with PHPCS 3.12.1 - support for goto as a switch - case terminating statement. #661
• BCTokens::nameTokens() as introduced in PHPCS 4.0.0. #674
  The same token array previously already existed in PHPCSUtils as Collections::nameTokens().
• BCTokens::functionNameTokens(): sync with PHPCS 4.0.0 - added the T_ANON_CLASS token. #674
• BCTokens::parenthesisOpeners(): sync with PHPCS 4.0.0 - added the T_USE, T_ISSET, T_UNSET, T_EMPTY, T_EVAL and T_EXIT tokens. #674
  Note: While T_USE, T_ISSET, T_UNSET, T_EMPTY, T_EVAL and T_EXIT will be included in the return value for this method,
  the associated parentheses will not have the 'parenthesis_owner' index set unless PHPCS 4.0.0 is used.
  Use the Parentheses::getOwner() or the Parentheses::hasOwner() methods if you need to check
  whether any of these tokens are a parentheses owner. The methods in the Parentheses class are PHPCS cross-version compatible.

TestUtils

• New PHPCSUtils\TestUtils\ConfigDouble class as a lightweight and more stable alternative to directly using the PHPCS native Config class in tests. #550, #612
  Props to @fredden for helping me find and fix a bug in this feature before it was released.
• New PHPCSUtils\TestUtils\RulesetDouble class which allows for creating a Ruleset object without registering any sniffs. #674
  This allows for the PHPCSUtils\TestUtils\UtilityMethodTestCase class to be cross-version compatible with both PHP_CodeSniffer 3.x as well as 4.x.
• New PHPCSUtils\TestUtils\UtilityMethodTestCase::parseFile() method to allow for on-demand tokenizing of a (secondary) test case file. #591, #610
  This method is intended for tests which need to use multiple test case files, like, for example, tests which need to verify that a utility resets a $fileName property on seeing another file.
• New PHPCSUtils\TestUtils\UtilityMethodTestCase::testTestMarkersAreUnique() and PHPCSUtils\TestUtils\UtilityMethodTestCase::assertTestMarkersAreUnique() methods which automatically check that code sample files used with this TestCase do not contain duplicate test case markers. #642
  If needs be, the test method can be disabled by overloading it (discouraged). If a test uses multiple test case/code sample files, the assertion method can be called directly.

Tokens

• New Collections::constantTypeTokens() method to support PHP 8.3 typed class constants. #562
• New Collections::ternaryOperators() method. #549
• T_EXIT to the Collections::functionCallTokens() and Collections::parameterPassingTokens() in light of the PHP 8.4 "exit as function" change. #618
• The PHP 8.4 asymmetric visibility tokens have been added to the Collections::propertyModifierKeywords() method. #653
• T_INTERFACE has been added to the Collections::ooPropertyScopes() method for PHP 8.4 interface properties support. #674

Utils

• New PHPCSUtils\Utils\Constants class: Utility functions to examine (class) constants. #562
  Initially available method: getProperties() to retrieve an array of information about an OO constant declaration.
• New PHPCSUtils\Utils\FileInfo class: Utility functions to check characteristics of the file under scan. #572
  Initial set of available methods: hasByteOrderMark() and hasSheBang().
• New PHPCSUtils\Utils\FilePath class: Utility functions for handling and comparing file paths. #593
  Initial set of available methods: getName() to retrieve the normalized path for the current file, isStdin(), normalizeAbsolutePath(), normalizeDirectorySeparators(), trailingSlashIt() and startsWith().
• New PHPCSUtils\Utils\TypeString class: Utility functions for analysing typestrings as retrieved via the various available getParameters()/getProperties() methods. #588
  Initial set of available methods: getKeywordTypes(), isKeyword(), normalizeCase(), isSingular(), isNullable(), isUnion(), isIntersection(), isDNF(), toArray(), toArrayUnique(), filterKeywordTypes() and filterOOTypes().
  Note: The is*() methods will not check if the type string provided is valid, as doing so would inhibit what sniffs can flag. The is*() methods will only look at the form of the type string to determine if it could be valid for a certain type.
• New PHPCSUtils\Utils\ObjectDeclarations::getDeclaredConstants(), PHPCSUtils\Utils\ObjectDeclarations::getDeclaredEnumCases(), PHPCSUtils\Utils\ObjectDeclarations::getDeclaredProperties() and PHPCSUtils\Utils\ObjectDeclarations::getDeclaredMethods() utility methods. #592
  These methods will each return an array with the name of the constant/case/property/method as the key and the typical stack pointer needed for further processing.
  The retrieval of this information is highly optimized for performance. If a sniff needs to search for a named constant/enum case/property/method in an OO structure, in most cases, these methods should be the recommended way for finding the declaration, instead of the sniff attempting to do this itself.
  Mind: the return value of the getDeclaredProperties() method includes constructor promoted properties. Passing the stack pointer of constructor promoted properties onto a call to the Variables::getMemberProperties() method, however, is currently not supported.
• FunctionDeclarations::getParameters(): support for PHP 8.4 asymmetric visibility. #677
• Variables::getMemberProperties(): support for PHP 8.4 final properties. Thanks @DanielEScherzer! #646
• Variables::getMemberProperties(): support for PHP 8.4 asymmetric visibility. #677

Changed

• The exceptions thrown by PHPCSUtils native utilities have been made more modular and more specific. #598, #599, #600
  • Passing a parameter of the wrong type will now result in a PHPCSUtils\Exceptions\TypeError being thrown.
  • Passing a parameter of the correct type, but with an invalid value, like an empty string when only non-empty strings are expected/accepted, will now result in a PHPCSUtils\Exceptions\ValueError being thrown.
  • Passing a (positive) integer stack pointer, which doesn't exist in the token stack of the current file, will now result in a PHPCSUtils\Exceptions\OutOfBoundsStackPtr being thrown.
  • Passing a stack pointer to a token which is not within the range of token types which is accepted by the method, will now result in a PHPCSUtils\Exceptions\UnexpectedTokenType being thrown.
  • Logic errors will now result in a PHPCSUtils\Exceptions\LogicException being thrown.
    This can occur, for instance, when a method takes a $start and $end parameter and the $end pointer is before the $start pointer.
  • Missing, conditionally required, parameters, will now result in a PHPCSUtils\Exceptions\MissingArgumentError being thrown.
  • Generic errors will now result in a PHPCSUtils\Exceptions\RuntimeException being thrown.
  • Previously the PHPCS native PHP_CodeSniffer\Exceptions\RuntimeException was used for all these exceptions.
    Catching the PHPCS native RuntimeException will still catch the new exceptions, but it is strongly recommended to be more selective when catching exceptions to prevent accidentally hiding errors in sniffs.
  • Also note that the PHPCSUtils native utilities now include more and stricter type checking to help surface bugs in sniffs.

Abstract Sniffs

• The AbstractArrayDeclarationSniff::process() method will no longer hide exceptions about a non-integer or non-existent stack pointer being passed. #600
• The AbstractArrayDeclarationSniff::processArray() method will no longer hide exceptions about non-integer or non-existent stack pointers being passed. #600
