Symfony Psalm Plugin

Installation

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

Features

• Detect ContainerInterface::get() result type. Works better if you configure compiled container XML file.
• 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.
• Complains when Container is injected to a service. Use dependency-injection.

Configuration

If you followed installation instructions, psalm-plugin command would added plugin configuration to psalm.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<psalm totallyTyped="true">
    <!--  project configuration -->

    <plugins>
        <pluginClass class="Seferov\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="Seferov\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
