This method seems to be duplicated in your project.
Duplicated code is one of the most pungent code smells. If you need to duplicate
the same code in three or more different places, we strongly encourage you to
look into extracting the code into a single class or operation.
You can also find more detailed suggestions in the “Code” section of your repository.
It seems like you code against a specific sub-type and not the parent class Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\OpenElement as the method validate() does only exist in the following sub-classes of Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\OpenElement: Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Html. 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.
The method handleValidationError() does not seem to exist on object<Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Html>.
This check looks for calls to methods that do not seem to exist on a given type.
It looks for the method on the type itself as well as in inherited classes or
implemented interfaces.
This is most likely a typographical error or the method has been renamed.
