Psalm Plugin for Symfony

Symfony Psalm Plugin

Installation

composer require --dev psalm/plugin-symfony
vendor/bin/psalm-plugin enable psalm/plugin-symfony

Features

• Detect ContainerInterface::get() result type. Works better if you configure compiled container XML file.
• Detect return type of console arguments (InputInterface::getArgument()) and options (InputInterface::getOption()). Enforces to use InputArgument and InputOption constants as a part of best practise.
• Detects correct Doctrine repository class if entities are configured with annotations.
• Fixes PossiblyInvalidArgument for Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request::getContent. The plugin calculates real return type by checking the given argument and marks return type as either string or resource.
• Detect return type of Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\HeaderBag::get (by checking default value and third argument for < Symfony 4.4)
• Detect return type of Symfony\Component\Messenger\Envelope::last and Symfony\Component\Messenger\Envelope::all, based on the provided argument.
• Taint analysis for Symfony
• Detects service and parameter naming convention violations
• Complains when Container is injected to a service. Use dependency-injection.
• Fix false positive PropertyNotSetInConstructor issues
  • $container in AbstractController
  • $context in ConstraintValidator classes
  • properties in custom @Annotation classes

Configuration

If you follow installation instructions, psalm-plugin command will add plugin configuration to psalm.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<psalm errorLevel="1">
    <!--  project configuration -->

    <plugins>
        <pluginClass class="Psalm\SymfonyPsalmPlugin\Plugin" />
    </plugins>
</psalm>

To be able to detect return types of services using ID (generally starts with @ in Symfony YAML config files. Ex: logger service) containerXml must be provided. Example:

<pluginClass class="Psalm\SymfonyPsalmPlugin\Plugin">
    <containerXml>var/cache/dev/App_KernelDevDebugContainer.xml</containerXml>
</pluginClass>

This file path may change based on your Symfony version, file structure and environment settings. Default file for Symfony versions:

• Symfony 3: var/cache/dev/srcDevDebugProjectContainer.xml
• Symfony 4: var/cache/dev/srcApp_KernelDevDebugContainer.xml
• Symfony 5: var/cache/dev/App_KernelDevDebugContainer.xml

Multiple container files can be configured. In this case, first valid file is taken into account. If none of the given files is valid, configuration exception is thrown. Example:

<pluginClass class="Psalm\SymfonyPsalmPlugin\Plugin">
    <containerXml>var/cache/dev/App_KernelDevDebugContainer.xml</containerXml>
    <containerXml>var/cache/dev/App_KernelTestDebugContainer.xml</containerXml>
</pluginClass>
