Configuration

Psalm uses an XML config file (by default, psalm.xml). A barebones example looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<psalm>
    <projectFiles>
        <directory name="src" />
    </projectFiles>
</psalm>

Configuration file may be split into several files using XInclude tags (c.f. previous example):

psalm.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<psalm
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns="https://getpsalm.org/schema/config"
    xsi:schemaLocation="https://getpsalm.org/schema/config vendor/vimeo/psalm/config.xsd"
    xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
>
    <xi:include href="files.xml"/>
</psalm>

files.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectFiles xmlns="https://getpsalm.org/schema/config">
    <file name="Bar.php" />
    <file name="Bat.php" />
</projectFiles>

Optional <psalm /> attributes

Coding style

errorLevel

<psalm
  errorLevel="[int]"
/>

This corresponds to Psalms error-detection level.

reportMixedIssues

<psalm
  reportMixedIssues="[bool]"
/>

Setting this to "false" hides all issues with Mixed types in Psalms output. If not given, this defaults to "false" when errorLevel is 3 or higher, and "true" when the error level is 1 or 2.

totallyTyped

<psalm
  totallyTyped="[bool]"
/>

Deprecated Setting totallyTyped to "true" is equivalent to setting errorLevel to "1". Setting totallyTyped to "false" is equivalent to setting errorLevel to "2" and reportMixedIssues to "false"

resolveFromConfigFile

<psalm
  resolveFromConfigFile="[bool]"
/>

If this is enabled, relative directories mentioned in the config file will be resolved relative to the location of the config file. If it is disabled, or absent they will be resolved relative to the working directory of the Psalm process.

New versions of Psalm enable this option when generating config files. Older versions did not include it.

useDocblockTypes

<psalm
  useDocblockTypes="[bool]"
>

Whether or not to use types as defined in docblocks. Defaults to true.

useDocblockPropertyTypes

<psalm
  useDocblockPropertyTypes="[bool]"
>

If not using all docblock types, you can still use docblock property types. Defaults to false (though only relevant if useDocblockTypes is false).

usePhpDocMethodsWithoutMagicCall

<psalm
  usePhpDocMethodsWithoutMagicCall="[bool]"
>

The PHPDoc @method annotation normally only applies to classes with a __call method. Setting this to true allows you to use the @method annotation to override inherited method return types. Defaults to false.

usePhpDocPropertiesWithoutMagicCall

<psalm
  usePhpDocPropertiesWithoutMagicCall="[bool]"
>

The PHPDoc @property, @property-read and @property-write annotations normally only apply to classes with __get/__set methods. Setting this to true allows you to use the @property, @property-read and @property-write annotations to override property existence checks and resulting property types. Defaults to false.

strictBinaryOperands

<psalm
  strictBinaryOperands="[bool]"
>

If true we force strict typing on numerical and string operations (see https://github.com/vimeo/psalm/issues/24). Defaults to false.

rememberPropertyAssignmentsAfterCall

<psalm
  rememberPropertyAssignmentsAfterCall="[bool]"
>

Setting this to false means that any function calls will cause Psalm to forget anything it knew about object properties within the scope of the function it's currently analysing. This duplicates functionality that Hack has. Defaults to true.

allowPhpStormGenerics

<psalm
  allowPhpStormGenerics="[bool]"
>

Allows you to specify whether or not to use the typed iterator docblock format supported by PHP Storm e.g. ArrayIterator|string[], which Psalm transforms to ArrayIterator<string>. Defaults to false.

This flag is deprecated and will be removed in Psalm 5

allowStringToStandInForClass

<psalm
  allowStringToStandInForClass="[bool]"
>

When true, strings can be used as classes, meaning $some_string::someMethod() is allowed. If false, only class constant strings (of the form Foo\Bar::class) can stand in for classes, otherwise an InvalidStringClass issue is emitted. Defaults to false.

memoizeMethodCallResults

<psalm
  memoizeMethodCallResults="[bool]"
>

When true, the results of method calls without arguments passed are remembered between repeated calls of that method on a given object. Defaults to false.

hoistConstants

<psalm
  hoistConstants="[bool]"
>

When true, constants defined in a function in a file are assumed to be available when requiring that file, and not just when calling that function. Defaults to false (i.e. constants defined in functions will only be available for use when that function is called)

addParamDefaultToDocblockType

<psalm
  addParamDefaultToDocblockType="[bool]"
>

Occasionally a param default will not match up with the docblock type. By default, Psalm emits an issue. Setting this flag to true causes it to expand the param type to include the param default. Defaults to false.

checkForThrowsDocblock

<psalm
  checkForThrowsDocblock="[bool]"
>

When true, Psalm will check that the developer has supplied @throws docblocks for every exception thrown in a given function or method. Defaults to false.

checkForThrowsInGlobalScope

<psalm
  checkForThrowsInGlobalScope="[bool]"
>

When true, Psalm will check that the developer has caught every exception in global scope. Defaults to false.

ignoreInternalFunctionFalseReturn

<psalm
  ignoreInternalFunctionFalseReturn="[bool]"
>

When true, Psalm ignores possibly-false issues stemming from return values of internal functions (like preg_split) that may return false, but do so rarely. Defaults to true.

ignoreInternalFunctionNullReturn

<psalm
  ignoreInternalFunctionNullReturn="[bool]"
>

When true, Psalm ignores possibly-null issues stemming from return values of internal array functions (like current) that may return null, but do so rarely. Defaults to true.

inferPropertyTypesFromConstructor

<psalm
  inferPropertyTypesFromConstructor="[bool]"
>

When true, Psalm infers property types from assignments seen in straightforward constructors. Defaults to true.

findUnusedVariablesAndParams

<psalm
  findUnusedVariablesAndParams="[bool]"
>

When true, Psalm will attempt to find all unused variables, the equivalent of running with --find-unused-variables. Defaults to false.

findUnusedCode

<psalm
  findUnusedCode="[bool]"
>

When true, Psalm will attempt to find all unused code (including unused variables), the equivalent of running with --find-unused-code. Defaults to false.

findUnusedPsalmSuppress

<psalm
  findUnusedPsalmSuppress="[bool]"
>

When true, Psalm will report all @psalm-suppress annotations that aren't used, the equivalent of running with --find-unused-psalm-suppress. Defaults to false.

loadXdebugStub

<psalm
  loadXdebugStub="[bool]"
>

If not present, Psalm will only load the Xdebug stub if Psalm has unloaded the extension. When true, Psalm will load the Xdebug extension stub (as the extension is unloaded when Psalm runs). Setting to false prevents the stub from loading.

ensureArrayStringOffsetsExist

<psalm
  ensureArrayStringOffsetsExist="[bool]"
>

When true, Psalm will complain when referencing an explicit string offset on an array e.g. $arr['foo'] without a user first asserting that it exists (either via an isset check or via an object-like array). Defaults to false.

ensureArrayIntOffsetsExist

<psalm
  ensureArrayIntOffsetsExist="[bool]"
>

When true, Psalm will complain when referencing an explicit integer offset on an array e.g. $arr[7] without a user first asserting that it exists (either via an isset check or via an object-like array). Defaults to false.

phpVersion

<psalm
  phpVersion="[string]"
>

Set the php version Psalm should assume when checking and/or fixing the project. If this attribute is not set, Psalm uses the declaration in composer.json if one is present. It will check against the earliest version of PHP that satisfies the declared php dependency

This can be overridden on the command-line using the --php-version= flag which takes the highest precedence over both the phpVersion setting and the version derived from composer.json.

skipChecksOnUnresolvableIncludes

<psalm
  skipChecksOnUnresolvableIncludes="[bool]"
>

When true, Psalm will skip checking classes, variables and functions after it comes across an include or require it cannot resolve. This allows code to reference functions and classes unknown to Psalm.

This defaults to false.

sealAllMethods

<psalm
  sealAllMethods="[bool]"
>

When true, Psalm will treat all classes as if they had sealed methods, meaning that if you implement the magic method __call, you also have to add @method for each magic method. Defaults to false.

runTaintAnalysis

<psalm
  runTaintAnalysis="[bool]"
>

When true, Psalm will run Taint Analysis on your codebase. This config is the same as if you were running Psalm with --taint-analysis.

reportInfo

<psalm
  reportInfo="[bool]"
>

When false, Psalm will not consider issue at lower level than errorLevel as info (they will be suppressed instead). This can be a big improvement in analysis time for big projects. However, this config will prevent Psalm to count or suggest fixes for suppressed issue

allowNamedArgumentCalls

<psalm 
  allowNamedArgumentCalls="[bool]"
>

When false, Psalm will not report ParamNameMismatch issues in your code anymore. This does not replace the use of individual @no-named-arguments to prevent external access to a library's method or to reduce the type to a list when using variadics

triggerErrorExits

<psalm
   triggerErrorExits="[string]"
>

Describe the behavior of trigger_error. always means it always exits, never means it never exits, default means it exits only for E_USER_ERROR. Default is default

Running Psalm

autoloader

<psalm
  autoloader="[string]"
>

If your application registers one or more custom autoloaders, and/or declares universal constants/functions, this autoloader script will be executed by Psalm before scanning starts. Psalm always registers composer's autoloader by default.

throwExceptionOnError

<psalm
  throwExceptionOnError="[bool]"
>

Useful in testing, this makes Psalm throw a regular-old exception when it encounters an error. Defaults to false.

hideExternalErrors

<psalm
  hideExternalErrors="[bool]"
>

Whether or not to show issues in files that are used by your project files, but which are not included in <projectFiles>. Defaults to false.

cacheDirectory

<psalm
  cacheDirectory="[string]"
>

The directory used to store Psalm's cache data - if you specify one (and it does not already exist), its parent directory must already exist, otherwise Psalm will throw an error.

Defaults to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/psalm. If $XDG_CACHE_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.cache/psalm is used or sys_get_temp_dir() . '/psalm' when not defined.

allowFileIncludes

<psalm
  allowFileIncludes="[bool]"
>

Whether or not to allow require/include calls in your PHP. Defaults to true.

serializer

<psalm
  serializer="['igbinary'|'default']"
>

Allows you to hard-code a serializer for Psalm to use when caching data. By default, Psalm uses ext-igbinary if the version is greater than or equal to 2.0.5, otherwise it defaults to PHP's built-in serializer.

Project settings

<projectFiles>

Contains a list of all the directories that Psalm should inspect. You can also specify a set of files and folders to ignore with the <ignoreFiles> directive, e.g.

<projectFiles>
  <directory name="src" />
  <ignoreFiles>
    <directory name="src/Stubs" />
  </ignoreFiles>
</projectFiles>

<extraFiles>

Optional. Same format as <projectFiles>. Directories Psalm should load but not inspect.

<fileExtensions>

Optional. A list of extensions to search over. See Checking non-PHP files to understand how to extend this.

<plugins>

Optional. A list of <plugin filename="path_to_plugin.php" /> entries. See the Plugins section for more information.

<issueHandlers>

Optional. If you don't want Psalm to complain about every single issue it finds, the issueHandler tag allows you to configure that. Dealing with code issues tells you more.

<mockClasses>

Optional. Do you use mock classes in your tests? If you want Psalm to ignore them when checking files, include a fully-qualified path to the class with <class name="Your\Namespace\ClassName" />

<universalObjectCrates>

Optional. Do you have objects with properties that cannot be determined statically? If you want Psalm to treat all properties on a given classlike as mixed, include a fully-qualified path to the class with <class name="Your\Namespace\ClassName" />. By default, stdClass and SimpleXMLElement are configured to be universal object crates.

<stubs>

Optional. If your codebase uses classes and functions that are not visible to Psalm via reflection (e.g. if there are internal packages that your codebase relies on that are not available on the machine running Psalm), you can use stub files. Used by PhpStorm (a popular IDE) and others, stubs provide a description of classes and functions without the implementations.

You can find a list of stubs for common classes here. List out each file with <file name="path/to/file.php" />. In case classes to be tested use parent classes or interfaces defined in a stub file, this stub should be configured with attribute preloadClasses="true".

<stubs>
  <file name="path/to/file.php" />
  <file name="path/to/abstract-class.php" preloadClasses="true" />
</stubs>

<ignoreExceptions>

Optional. A list of exceptions to not report for checkForThrowsDocblock or checkForThrowsInGlobalScope. If an exception has onlyGlobalScope set to true, only checkForThrowsInGlobalScope is ignored for that exception, e.g.

<ignoreExceptions>
  <class name="fully\qualified\path\Exc" onlyGlobalScope="true" />
</ignoreExceptions>

<globals>

Optional. If your codebase uses global variables that are accessed with the global keyword, you can declare their type. e.g.

<globals>
  <var name="globalVariableName" type="type" />
</globals>

Some frameworks and libraries expose functionalities through e.g. $GLOBALS[DB]->query($query). The following configuration declares custom types for super-globals ($GLOBALS, $_GET, ...).

<globals>
  <var name="$GLOBALS" type="array{DB: MyVendor\DatabaseConnection, VIEW: MyVendor\TemplateView}" />
  <var name="$_GET" type="array{data: array<string, string>}" />     
</globals>

The example above declares global variables as shown below

  • $GLOBALS
    • DB of type MyVendor\DatabaseConnection
    • VIEW of type MyVendor\TemplateView
  • $_GET
    • data e.g. like ["id" => "123", "title" => "Nice"]

Accessing Psalm configuration in plugins

Plugins can access or modify the global configuration in plugins using singleton Psalm\Config.

$config = \Psalm\Config::getInstance();
if (!isset($config->globals['$GLOBALS'])) {
    $config->globals['$GLOBALS'] = 'array{data: array<string, string>}';
}
