It seems like you code against a concrete implementation and not the interface ViewComponents\ViewCompo...tion\OperationInterface as the method getPageSize() does only exist in the following implementations of said interface: ViewComponents\ViewCompo...ation\PaginateOperation.
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.
The method limit does only exist in Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder, but not in Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder.
It seems like the method you are trying to call exists only in some of the
possible types.
Let’s take a look at an example:
classA{publicfunctionfoo(){}}classBextendsA{publicfunctionbar(){}}/** * @param A|B $x */functionsomeFunction($x){$x->foo();// This call is fine as the method exists in A and B.$x->bar();// This method only exists in B and might cause an error.}
$operation of type object<ViewComponents\Vi...ion\OperationInterface> is not a sub-type of object<ViewComponents\Vi...tion\PaginateOperation>. It seems like you assume a concrete implementation of the interface ViewComponents\ViewCompo...tion\OperationInterface to be always present.
This check looks for parameters that are defined as one type in their type
hint or doc comment but seem to be used as a narrower type, i.e an
implementation of an interface or a subclass.
Consider changing the type of the parameter or doing an instanceof check before assuming
your parameter is of the expected type.
