ASTNode expected, ASTAnonymousClass given

[fracasula]

Hi there,

I just ran phpmd on my project with this command:

vendor/bin/phpmd ./ text cleancode,codesize,controversial,design,naming,unusedcode --exclude=vendor/*,Tests/app/cache/*,Tests/app/logs/*,Tests/app/AppKernel.php

Error below:

PHP Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to PDepend\Source\AST\AbstractASTNode::addChild() must implement interface PDepend\Source\AST\ASTNode, instance of PDepend\Source\AST\ASTAnonymousClass given, called in /squawka/squawka-database/vendor/pdepend/pdepend/src/main/php/PDepend/Source/Language/PHP/PHPParserVersion70.php on line 214 and defined in /squawka/squawka-database/vendor/pdepend/pdepend/src/main/php/PDepend/Source/AST/AbstractASTNode.php on line 367

Versions used:

• "phpmd/phpmd": "2.4.2"
• "pdepend/pdepend": "2.2.4"

There's anything I could do to find out how to solve this?

Maybe it can help. This error occurred when anonymous class is used:

new class()

[fracasula]

Is this what you mean @llato ?

$article = (new Entity\Article())
    ->setTitle($title)
    ->setAuthor($author);
    ->setCreatedAt(new \DateTime());

All setters in my case return $this so it works like a charm 👍

I changed the parent class of PHPParserGeneric from PHPParserVersion70 to PHPParserVersion56 in the pdepend source (./pdepend/pdepend/src/main/php/PDepend/Source/Language/PHP/PHPParserGeneric.php line 61).

Since I am running php56, i figures this was a weird contruction and it appears to work (for me at least)

Is there already an solution in site/in Master?

[sfeni]

same here
downgraded pdepend/pdepend to version 2.2.2 worked for me

[ChrisWesterfield]

that helped thanks 👍

[SimonFolger]

dmaij´s solution worked for me aswell, thanks

[neemzy]

So one month later, are we still better off editing vendor code to work around this? :)

Neither downgrading to 2.2.2 (Cannot create nodes when, interval is in frozen state error) or setting the parser to PHP 5.6 is working for me. I run PHP 7.0.8.
Is there any other fix or workaround for this? Keeps me from getting green builds in jenkins as it cannot generate a JDepend xml report.

+1. Same as @fjarlaegur

Seems like @manuelpichler is working on a fix on a closely same named branch. Last commit 14 days ago. Maybe he can give us some insight in fixing things?

EDIT: I fixed my errors. I was running Pdepend on all folders in my project. I was using this for a laravel project, as i changed all modules to just scan the /app folder, my build finally turned green.

Thanks @fjarlaegur. I was having the same problem until I read your comment and realised I had forgotten to use --exclude vendor.
