It seems like you code against a concrete implementation and not the interface Groundskeeper\Tokens\Token as the method getName() does only exist in the following implementations of said interface: Groundskeeper\Tokens\Element, Groundskeeper\Tokens\ElementTypes\ClosedElement, Groundskeeper\Tokens\ElementTypes\OpenElement, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Article, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Aside, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Base, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Body, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Br, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Footer, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\H1, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\H2, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\H3, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\H4, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\H5, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\H6, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Head, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Header, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Hgroup, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Hr, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Html, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Link, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Main, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Meta, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Nav, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Noscript, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Script, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Section, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Style, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Template, Groundskeeper\Tokens\Elements\Title.
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.
