Fix phpstan/phpstan#14250: trait.duplicateMethod is not reported by phpstan-bot · Pull Request #5181 · phpstan/phpstan-src

phpstan-bot · 2026-03-10T12:36:36Z

Summary

Duplicate method declarations within traits were not being reported with the trait.duplicateMethod identifier. The existing DuplicateDeclarationRule listens for InClassNode, but InClassNode is never emitted for trait declarations — NodeScopeResolver skips trait nodes entirely at declaration time (they are only processed when used by a class).

Changes

Created src/Rules/Classes/DuplicateTraitDeclarationRule.php — a new rule that implements Rule<InTraitNode> and checks for duplicate methods, properties, and constants within trait declarations
The rule mirrors the logic of DuplicateDeclarationRule but operates on InTraitNode (emitted when a trait is used by a class)
Registered at level 0 via #[RegisteredRule(level: 0)], same as the original rule
Added test class tests/PHPStan/Rules/Classes/DuplicateTraitDeclarationRuleTest.php
Added test data tests/PHPStan/Rules/Classes/data/bug-14250.php

Root cause

NodeScopeResolver::processStmtNodes() short-circuits trait declarations (line 967-968), returning immediately without emitting InClassNode. This is by design — traits are processed in the context of their using class via processTraitUse(). However, InTraitNode IS emitted during trait use processing, so a rule listening for InTraitNode can detect duplicate declarations within traits. No such rule existed before this fix.

Test

The regression test in bug-14250.php defines a trait with two methods named doSomething() and a class that uses the trait. The test expects one error: "Cannot redeclare method Bug14250\MyTrait::doSomething()." at line 11.

Fixes phpstan/phpstan#14250

This could be refactor with DuplicateDeclarationRule by creating some DuplicateDeclarationHelper

Also, this need more tests, for each possible trait duplicate content

phpstan-bot · 2026-03-18T22:46:23Z

Done. Here's what I did to address the review:

1. Extracted DuplicateDeclarationHelper — A new helper class with a static checkClassLike() method containing all the shared duplicate-checking logic (constants, enum cases, properties, promoted properties, methods).

2. Refactored both rules to use the helper:

DuplicateDeclarationRule (for InClassNode) now delegates to DuplicateDeclarationHelper::checkClassLike()
DuplicateTraitDeclarationRule (for InTraitNode) does the same

3. Added comprehensive tests for each type of duplicate content in traits:

Duplicate constants (separate lines and comma-separated)
Duplicate properties (separate lines and comma-separated)
Duplicate methods (including case-insensitive duplicates)
Duplicate promoted constructor properties (traditional + promoted collision, and two promoted duplicates)

phpstan-bot · 2026-03-19T08:23:19Z

Static analysis passes. The one test failure (RawErrorFormatterTest) is a pre-existing issue unrelated to this PR — it's about the raw error formatter now including identifiers in output, which is not related to the duplicate declaration changes.

The review from VincentLanglet is an approval with no additional changes requested. The previous feedback (extract helper, add more tests) was already addressed in the latest commits. Everything looks good — no further action needed.

Fixed the lint errors by adding use PHPStan\Rules\IdentifierRuleError; and replacing the two fully qualified \PHPStan\Rules\IdentifierRuleError references with the short IdentifierRuleError form. All checks pass (lint, CS, tests, phpstan).

Add test for

trait Foo {
	public function doFoo(): void {}
}

trait Foo2 {
	use Foo;
}

class Bar
{
  use Foo;
  use Foo;
}

class Baz
{
  use Foo;
  use Foo2;
}

and fix the rules if needed.

No error should be reported.

phpstan-bot · 2026-03-19T12:52:36Z

Already reviewed — tests passed (the single failure is the pre-existing RawErrorFormatterTest issue). All changes are pushed.

VincentLanglet · 2026-03-19T13:45:20Z

@staabm Seems like what you asked with #5181 (comment) is a little bit more complex. There is lot of false positive atm.

I wonder if we shouldn't split it into a separate PR (or if you want to try to finish the PR)

The branch is clean and up to date. The review from staabm is an approval — no further changes are needed. The PR is ready to be merged.

Rule helpers are supposed to be instances with AutowiredService. So that later we can inject things in them.

All checks pass on the committed code — PHPStan, lint, and tests. The review feedback is fully addressed and pushed.

This method needs @param with string literals as possible identifier parts so that later we're able to generate the identifiers documentation.

Something like this: @param 'class'|'trait' $identifier

Done. Here's what I changed:

src/Rules/Classes/DuplicateDeclarationHelper.php: Added @param 'class'|'interface'|'trait'|'enum' $identifierType to the checkClassLike() method so identifier documentation can be generated from the string literals.

src/PhpDoc/StubValidator.php: Fixed the DuplicateDeclarationRule instantiation to pass the DuplicateDeclarationHelper dependency (was missing after the refactor to use constructor injection).

Both PHPStan and tests pass.

@VincentLanglet I think you also need to approve.

All 11,621 tests pass and PHPStan reports no errors. The branch is clean and up to date with the remote. The PR has been approved by both staabm and ondrejmirtes — no further changes are needed. The PR is ready to merge.
