v2.5.7: Released Rector 2.5.7

Compare Source

This release sharpens the PHPUnit code-quality sets, adds a focused narrow asserts set, deprecates two blurry Symfony web-test rules, and fixes a handful of docblock false-positives in dead-code removal.

New Features 🎉

PHPUnit: PHPUNIT_NARROW_ASSERTS set

A new set focused on narrowing broad asserts to their specific, more descriptive method — e.g. assertTrue(isset($a['b']))assertArrayHasKey('b', $a). (rector-phpunit #​716)

use Rector\PHPUnit\Set\PHPUnitSetList;

return RectorConfig::configure()
    ->withSets([PHPUnitSetList::PHPUNIT_NARROW_ASSERTS]);

withPreparedSets() gains phpunitNarrowAsserts + phpunitMockToStub

The 2 PHPUnit sets are now toggleable like any other prepared set. (#​8178)

return RectorConfig::configure()
    ->withPreparedSets(
        phpunitNarrowAsserts: true,
        phpunitMockToStub: true,
    );

PHPUnit: flip with($this->callback(...)) on void methods to willReturnCallback()

VoidMethodWithCallbackToWillReturnCallbackRector (renamed + refocused) drops the pointless return value and types the closure as void, matching the mocked void method. (rector-phpunit #​724)

 $this->createMock(SomeClass::class)
     ->method('run')
-    ->with($this->callback(function ($arg) {
-        echo $arg;
-
-        return true;
-    }));
+    ->willReturnCallback(function ($arg): void {
+        echo $arg;
+    });
Console: -v as alias for --version

Since the verbose option was removed, -v now prints the version. (#​8177)

# Rector 2.x.x

Improvements 🔧

  • [StaticTypeMapper] Map phpstan-special scalar types (literal-string, numeric-string, …) to their real PHPStan types instead of a bogus ObjectType, so precise docblocks survive dead-code cleanup (#​8176)
  • [PHPUnit CodeQuality] Verify assert method name exists on the Assert class via reflection before transforming (rector-phpunit #​720)
  • [PHPUnit CodeQuality] Simplify single-statement void callback in CallbackSingleAssertToSimplerRector (rector-phpunit #​722)
  • [PHPUnit CodeQuality] Collapse all instanceof asserts for multiple nullable instances in a single run (rector-phpunit #​721)
  • [PHPUnit CodeQuality] Use atLeast() instead of exactly() in DecorateWillReturnMapWithExpectsMockRector (rector-phpunit #​719)

Bug Fixes 🐛

  • [DeadCode] Preserve generic @return tags in RemoveReturnTagIncompatibleWithNativeTypeRector (#​8183)
  • [DeadCode] Skip templated type in RemoveReturnTagIncompatibleWithNativeTypeRector (#​8180)
  • [DeadCode] Skip PHPStan type alias in RemoveReturnTagIncompatibleWithNativeTypeRector (#​8179)
  • [CodeQuality] Skip abstract class in CompleteDynamicPropertiesRector (#​8182)
  • [Php71] Skip magic @method in RemoveExtraParametersRector (#​8181)
  • [PHPUnit] Skip with() multiple arguments in VoidMethodWithCallbackToWillReturnCallbackRector (rector-phpunit #​725)
  • [PHPUnit] Skip new object instances in NarrowIdenticalWithConsecutiveRector — each new is a fresh instance, collapsing them changes intent (rector-phpunit #​726)
  • [PHPUnit] Skip mock property removal when used in a trait (rector-phpunit #​723)
  • [PHPUnit] Skip nested value compare in CallbackSingleAssertToSimplerRector (rector-phpunit #​718)
  • [PHPUnit] Skip union types in AssertEqualsToSameRector to preserve loose comparison (rector-phpunit #​717)

Deprecations 💀

Symfony: WebTestCaseAssertIsSuccessfulRector + WebTestCaseAssertResponseCodeRector

Both rules hide the asserted behavior and force a different assert method per status code, splitting one clear assertion into several implicit ones. Asserting the HTTP status code directly is clearer and uniform. (rector-symfony #​958)

New Features 🥳

  • [DeadCode] Add RemoveReturnTagIncompatibleWithNativeTypeRector (#​8172)

     {
         return $this->someObject->getName();
     }
 }
  • [TypeDeclarationDocblocks] Add MergePhpstanDocTagIntoNativeRector to merge @phpstan-* doc tags into native tags (#​8171)
 final class SomeClass
 {
     /**
-     * @​var Collection

Bugfixes 🐛


PHPUnit 🧪

New rules and changes from rector-phpunit.

New Rules
  • [CodeQuality] Add AssertClassToThisAssertRector (#​707)
 use PHPUnit\Framework\Assert;
 use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;

 final class SomeClass extends TestCase
 {
     public function run()
     {
-        Assert::assertEquals('expected', $result);
+        $this->assertEquals('expected', $result);
     }
 }
  • [CodeQuality] Add BareCreateMockAssignToDirectUseRector — inline a single-use createMock() assignment (#​708)
 final class SomeTest extends TestCase
 {
     public function test()
     {
-        $someObject = $this->createMock(SomeClass::class);
-        $this->process($someObject);
+        $this->process($this->createMock(SomeClass::class));
     }

     private function process(SomeClass $someObject): void
     {
     }
 }
  • [CodeQuality] Add WillReturnCallbackFallbackToThrowRector — throw on an unexpected extra consecutive call (#​710)
         $this->someServiceMock->expects($matcher)
             ->method('run')
             ->willReturnCallback(function () use ($matcher) {
                 if ($matcher->numberOfInvocations() === 1) {
                     return 1;
                 }
+
+                throw new \PHPUnit\Framework\Exception(sprintf('Method should not be called for the %dth time', $matcher->numberOfInvocations()));
             });
  • [CodeQuality] Add RemoveReturnFromVoidMethodMockCallbackRector — type a void mock callback and drop its value return (#​711)
         $this->createMock(SomeClass::class)
             ->method('run')
-            ->willReturnCallback(function ($arg) {
+            ->willReturnCallback(function ($arg): void {
                 echo $arg;
-
-                return true;
             });

(SomeClass::run() returns void.)

  • [CodeQuality] Add CallbackSingleAssertToSimplerRector — collapse a with() callback with a sole assertSame() to equalTo() (#​714)
         $builder->expects($this->exactly(2))
             ->method('add')
-            ->with($this->callback(function ($type): bool {
-                $this->assertSame(TextType::class, $type);
-
-                return true;
-            }));
+            ->with($this->equalTo(TextType::class));

New Features 🥳

withTypeGuardedClasses()

Are you an open-source project or package used by others? Do you want to make type changes, but keep BC?

Guard the listed classes and their non-final descendants against method signature changes - e.g. adding a return type or a param type — that would break child classes (#​8135)

Deprecations & Removals 💀

Migrate away - these will be removed in a future release:

  • SwitchTrueToIfRector → use new SwitchTrueToMatchRector (#​8109)
  • StrictStringParamConcatRector — too many false positives (#​8090)
  • StaticClosureRector + StaticArrowFunctionRector (#​8092)
  • StaticCallOnNonStaticToInstanceCallRector — risky change (#​8093)
  • EnumCaseToPascalCaseRector — risky change (#​8095)
  • JoinStringConcatRector (#​8107)
  • RemoveTypedPropertyNonMockDocblockRector — no real value (#​8119)
  • Removed: long-deprecated rules (5+ months old) (#​8094)

rectorphp/rector-symfony

  • ParameterBagToAutowireAttributeRector (#​954)
  • AddRouteAnnotationRector (#​952)

rectorphp/rector-phpunit

  • BehatPHPUnitAssertToWebmozartRector — too narrow (#​686)

v2.5.2: Released Rector 2.5.2

Compare Source

Bugfixes 🐛

  • Match class + path in unused-skip reporting — fix combined class => [paths] skips being wrongly flagged as unused (#​8073)
  • Mark skip used only when rule would change the file — a class/path skip counts as "used" only if the rule would actually touch that file, killing false "used" hits (#​8076)
  • Improve unused-skip resolver methods — cleaner resolution internals (#​8072)
  • Track used skips as class => [paths] map — richer per-path skip tracking backing the report (#​8074)

v2.5.1: Released Rector 2.5.1

Compare Source

Bugfixes 🐛

  • Skip unused-skip reporting on narrowed runs - no more false "unused skip" noise when running Rector on a subset of paths (#​8069)
  • Display skips only on uncached run - skip report shows on real runs, not when results come from cache (#​8071)
  • RemoveAlwaysTrueIfConditionRector — avoid scanning whole new statements on dynamic variable checks; moved logic to ExprAnalyzer and bail early on defined variables (#​8057)

v2.5.0: Released Rector 2.5

Compare Source

New Features 🥳 🎉 🎉 🎉

This release has 3 interesting new features. Let's look at them:

[dx] Report skips that never matched (#​8058)
  • What? - like PHPStan's reportUnusedIgnores, but for Rector ->withSkip(). Flags skip entries that never matched anything during the run, so you can delete stale skips.

  • Why? - skips rot. You skip a path/rule to dodge a problem, later the file moves or the rule stops firing there — the skip lingers forever,
    silently masking nothing. This surfaces dead skips so config stays honest.

// rector.php
return RectorConfig::configure()
    ->withSkip([
        SimplifyUselessVariableRector::class => [
            '*/src/Legacy/*',          // still matches — fine
            '*/NonexistentUnused/*',   // matches nothing — stale
        ],
    ])
    ->reportUnusedSkips();

Run output:

 [OK] Rector is done!
  
 [WARNING] This skip is unused, it never matched any element.
           You can remove it from "->withSkip()"

 * Rector\CodeQuality\Rector\FunctionLike\SimplifyUselessVariableRector => */NonexistentUnused/*

[dx] Removing unused imports by default (#​8047)

You can update your rector.php config:

 return RectorConfig::configure()
-    ->withImportNames(removeUnusedImports: true);
+    ->withImportNames();

In case it's not for you, turn it off:

 return RectorConfig::configure()
-    ->withImportNames();
+    ->withImportNames(removeUnusedImports: false);

[dx] Introducing Drupal composer-based sets (#​8041), Thanks @​bbrala!

If you're using Drupal Rector, you can now enable it's per-version sets via:

 return RectorConfig::configure()
+    ->withComposerBased(drupal: true);

To learn more about composer-based-sets, checkout the documentation.
