Duplicate code is one of the most pungent code smells. A rule that is often used is to re-structure code once it is duplicated in three or more places.
Common duplication problems, and corresponding solutions are:
| 1 | <?php |
||
| 12 | class CopyTest extends \Naneau\FileGen\Test\Generator\TestCase |
||
| 13 | { |
||
| 14 | /** |
||
| 15 | * Test copying |
||
| 16 | * |
||
| 17 | * @return void |
||
| 18 | **/ |
||
| 19 | public function testCopy() |
||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | /** |
||
| 45 | * Test copy fail |
||
| 46 | * |
||
| 47 | * @expectedException Naneau\FileGen\File\Contents\Exception |
||
| 48 | * @return void |
||
| 49 | **/ |
||
| 50 | View Code Duplication | public function testNotExists() |
|
| 64 | |||
| 65 | /** |
||
| 66 | * Test copy fail |
||
| 67 | * |
||
| 68 | * @expectedException Naneau\FileGen\File\Contents\Exception |
||
| 69 | * @return void |
||

||
| 71 | public function testNotReadable() |
||
| 88 | } |

It seems like the type of the argument is not accepted by the function/method which you are calling.
In some cases, in particular if PHP’s automatic type-juggling kicks in this might be fine. In other cases, however this might be a bug.
We suggest to add an explicit type cast like in the following example:
