It seems like you code against a concrete implementation and not the interface Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceLocatorInterface as the method getServiceLocator() does only exist in the following implementations of said interface: Acl\Assertion\AssertionManager, Core\Mail\MailService, Core\Paginator\PaginatorService, Zend\Barcode\ObjectPluginManager, Zend\Barcode\RendererPluginManager, Zend\Cache\PatternPluginManager, Zend\Cache\Storage\AdapterPluginManager, Zend\Cache\Storage\PluginManager, Zend\Config\ReaderPluginManager, Zend\Config\WriterPluginManager, Zend\Feed\Reader\ExtensionPluginManager, Zend\Feed\Writer\ExtensionPluginManager, Zend\File\Transfer\Adapter\FilterPluginManager, Zend\File\Transfer\Adapter\ValidatorPluginManager, Zend\Filter\FilterPluginManager, Zend\Form\FormElementMan...lementManagerV2Polyfill, Zend\Form\FormElementMan...lementManagerV3Polyfill, Zend\Hydrator\HydratorPluginManager, Zend\I18n\Translator\LoaderPluginManager, Zend\InputFilter\InputFilterPluginManager, Zend\Log\FilterPluginManager, Zend\Log\FormatterPluginManager, Zend\Log\ProcessorPluginManager, Zend\Log\WriterPluginManager, Zend\Log\Writer\FilterPluginManager, Zend\Log\Writer\FormatterPluginManager, Zend\Mail\Protocol\SmtpPluginManager, Zend\Mvc\Controller\ControllerManager, Zend\Mvc\Controller\PluginManager, Zend\Mvc\Router\RoutePluginManager, Zend\Paginator\AdapterPluginManager, Zend\Paginator\ScrollingStylePluginManager, Zend\Serializer\AdapterPluginManager, Zend\ServiceManager\AbstractPluginManager, Zend\Stdlib\Hydrator\HydratorPluginManager, Zend\Tag\Cloud\DecoratorPluginManager, Zend\Text\Table\DecoratorManager, Zend\Validator\ValidatorPluginManager, Zend\View\HelperPluginManager, Zend\View\Helper\Navigation\PluginManager.
Let’s take a look at an example:
interfaceUser{/** @return string */publicfunctiongetPassword();}classMyUserimplementsUser{publicfunctiongetPassword(){// return something}publicfunctiongetDisplayName(){// return some name.}}classAuthSystem{publicfunctionauthenticate(User$user){$this->logger->info(sprintf('Authenticating %s.',$user->getDisplayName()));// do something.}}
In the above example, the authenticate() method works fine as long as you just pass
instances of MyUser. However, if you now also want to pass a different implementation
of User which does not have a getDisplayName() method, the code will break.
classAuthSystem{publicfunctionauthenticate(User$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.
This check looks for
@paramannotations where the type inferred by our type inference engine differs from the declared type.It makes a suggestion as to what type it considers more descriptive.
Most often this is a case of a parameter that can be null in addition to its declared types.
