PHPStan 1.0 Upgrade ⛺️

This Rector version depends on PHPStan more then ever. We're using its php-parser (many of them actually), class name visitor resolver and static/this/self types. That's why we had to take time to make sure the upgrade to PHPStan 1.0 is stable.

• [PHPStan 1.0] upgrade deprecated getNativeMethods() method (#1069)
• Improve self/static/parent object reference (#1071)
• [PHPStan 1.0] Make SelfType, StaticType and ThisType use ClassReflection over string (#1072)
• SelfType and StaticType are now handled in ObjectTypeSpecifier (#1077)
• [PHPStan 1.0] Use processNodes() over processNodeStmts() (#1111)
• [PHPStan 1.0] use selectFromArgs() for function reflectoin to get passed by reference positoins (#1113)
• [PHPStan 1.0] Remove sorted union types, now handled by default (#1112)
• [PHPStan 1.0] resolve FunctionReflection getFileName() from main interface (#1117)
• [PHPStan 1.0] Remove ReflectionWithFilename (#1118)
• Fix issue of parsing PHP 8 sources on PHP 7.x (#1184), Thanks @ondrejmirtes!
• [PHPStan 1.0] Remove node naming visitors and re-use PHPStan ones (#1144)
• PHPStan\Reflection\ClassReflection::getFileName() now returns null|string (rectorphp/rector-src@9686861)
• PHPStan\Reflection\ClassReflection::getParentClass now returns null|class reflection (rectorphp/rector-src@1cc7dc3)
• NativeFunctionReflection has new parameter (rectorphp/rector-src@ca82769)
• Remove ClearReturnNewByReferenceRector, PHPStan cannot handle it (rectorphp/rector-src@051c751)

PHPStan 1.0-Related Changes

Class names are now available in the node itself:

-$className = $node->getAttribute(AttributeKey::CLASS_NAME);

↓

 // in case of class like
+$className = $classLike->namespacedName

 // in case of anonymous class
+$className = $classLike->name

 // or widely used method in AbstractRector
 $className = $this->getName($classLike)

Deprecated/Removed ⚰️

• [CodingStyle] Deprecate RemoveUnusedAliasRector, job rather for coding standard tool and opinonated (#1157)
• Remove FileNodeVisitor, available in AbstractRector (#1145)
• [CodeQuality] Remove FixClassCaseSensitivityNameRector, conflicting with name node removal and edge case already handled by PHPStan reports (#1160)
• remove deprecated AttributeKey::FILE_INFO const attribute (rectorphp/rector-src@8f7fea0)
• Remove dead classes (#1133)
• Remove dead classes #2, remove unused PlatformAgnosticAssertions, remove ConsoleShowOutputFormatter (#1134)
• [Defluent] Remove often-breaking set (#1062)

Attribute Keys Changes 📈

This is not about PHP 8.0 attributes, but about helper php-parser attributes that allow to store mixed data in any node.

• Move from CLASS_NODE attribute to more reliable parent node finder (#1162)
• Move from CLASS_METHOD node attribute to parent finder (#1167)
• De...

Released Rector 0.11 with Scoped and PHP 7.1 version by Default

• See full diff: 0.10.0...0.11.0

United Release of Prefixed & Downgraded Version 🚀🚀🚀

For a long time, Rector published 2 releases. It was often confusing which to use when and how they differ. Last couple of month we tried to make them as similar as possible to make transition as smooth as possible.

Since 0.11 we're moving from 2 repositories rectorphp/rector and rectorphp/rector-prefixed to just one rectorphp/rector.
This repository is downgraded to PHP 7.1 and scoped.

Read more in Prefixed Rector by Default.

Bugfixes 🐛

• #6057 Restore parent node connection on new node
• #6064 Fix Php4ConstructorRector with non-stmts content
• #5967 Fix printing files with fatal errorsage rector deps

Released Rector 0.10 with Static Reflection and PHP 7.1 version

• See full diff: 0.9.0...0.10.0

Added Static Reflection 🚀🚀🚀

Do you have files with side effects or missing classes in autoload?

function hi()
{
    echo 'hello';
}

hi();

Static reflection finally refactors code without running it.

• Contributed in #5665
• Read more about how was Legacy Refactoring made Easy with Static Reflection

Do you still need to include files with constants or custom autoloader? Use BOOTSTRAP_FILES parameter:

$parameters->set(Option::BOOTSTRAP_FILES, [
    __DIR__ . '/constants.php',
    __DIR__ . '/project/special/autoload.php',
]);

Prefixed Rector with min PHP 7.1 🐘

Previous version required at least PHP 7.3 to run or Docker. Both were an obstacle to run Rector out of the box on every project.

We changed that. Now you can run Rector with older PHP and conflicting dependencies with ease:

php --version
# PHP 7.1

composer require symfony/console:^2.8

composer require rector/rector-prefixed:^0.10

• Contribted in #5880

Other Changes

• Inspired by PHPStan, you can run Rector without "process" command if you have configured paths in rector.php:

vendor/bin/rector
13/260 [▓░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░]   5%

• Rules split into Project repositories: rector-symfony, rector-phpunit, rector-doctrine, rector-nette, rector-cakephp and rector-laravel

• Rector testing simplified to single config-based - see #5837

New Features 🎉

• [#4490] [EarlyReturn] Brand new set
• [#4517] [Doctrine] Add a Doctrine DBAL 2.11 set, Thanks @chrisguitarguy

Changes ⌚

• AbstractFileSystemRector was dropped and replaced by FileNode, this was a crappy part of Rector, that split node-based refatoring and file-based; now the logic is simplified to essential code, and to workwith file, we can use FileNode
• [#4510] [TypeDeclaration] We switched types from string "int" fully to @phpstan types new IntegerType()
• [#4513] Composer v2 was released, so we put it right into our GitHub Actions CI and cut install time to 50 %

Removed 🧹

• [#4451] [DynamicTypedAnalysis] Very narrow package with lack of practise didn't get any feedback. As unfinished and better suitable for tombstoning, this part was dropped to keep Rector's focus on automated refactoring
• [#4521] [Decouple] This had only 1 rule, it was hard to configure and use - the set was dropped, better use PHPStorm for local refactoring

They Write about Rector

• @freekmurze made practical 4-min video about upgrading to PHP 8
