The trait Idable provides a method equalsId that in turn relies on the
method getId(). If this method does not exist on a class mixing in this
trait, the method will fail.
Adding the getId() as an abstract method to the trait will make sure it
is available.
It seems like you code against a specific sub-type and not the parent class Exception as the method getResponse() does only exist in the following sub-classes of Exception: GuzzleHttp\Exception\BadResponseException, GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException, GuzzleHttp\Exception\ConnectException, GuzzleHttp\Exception\RequestException, GuzzleHttp\Exception\ServerException, GuzzleHttp\Exception\TooManyRedirectsException. Maybe you want to instanceof check for one of these explicitly?
Let’s take a look at an example:
abstractclassUser{/** @return string */abstractpublicfunctiongetPassword();}classMyUserextendsUser{publicfunctiongetPassword(){// return something}publicfunctiongetDisplayName(){// return some name.}}classAuthSystem{publicfunctionauthenticate(User$user){$this->logger->info(sprintf('Authenticating %s.',$user->getDisplayName()));// do something.}}
In the above example, the authenticate() method works fine as long as you just pass
instances of MyUser. However, if you now also want to pass a different sub-classes
of User which does not have a getDisplayName() method, the code will break.
classAuthSystem{publicfunctionauthenticate(User$user){if($userinstanceofMyUser){$this->logger->info(/** ... */);}// or alternativelyif(!$userinstanceofMyUser){thrownew\LogicException('$user must be an instance of MyUser, '.'other instances are not supported.');}}}
Note: PHP Analyzer uses reverse abstract interpretation to narrow down the types
inside the if block in such a case.

In PHP it is possible to write to properties without declaring them. For example, the following is perfectly valid PHP code:
Generally, it is a good practice to explictly declare properties to avoid accidental typos and provide IDE auto-completion:
