Multiple error formatters for PHPStan

This project was born form a need to have multiple outputs from a PHPStan run. Its goal is to provide a way to direct outputs to multiple locations, without having to run PHPStan multiple times.

Installation

composer require --dev backendtea/phpstan-multiple-error-formatter

If you also install phpstan/extension-installer then you're all set!

Manual installation

If you don't want to use phpstan/extension-installer, include extension.neon in your project's PHPStan config:

includes:
    - vendor/backendtea/phpstan-multiple-error-formatter/config.neon

Usage

This package provides the 'multiple' error formatter. Generally you want to use this in CI by adding the --error-format multiple flag.

The multiple error formatter wil look for the errorFormatters.formatters configuration option, where you can define the outputs you are looking for

This package defines the following formatters to output to a file:

• jsonFile : prints a json file
• prettyJsonFile: prints a pretty json file (with whitespaces for human readability)
• gitlabFile: outputs a file for gitlab code quality inspections

You can configure the file location it should output to with the errorFormatters.jsonFile and errorFromatters.gitlabFile configuration options:

An example where we want to write a pretty json file, a gitlab file, and output to a table in stdOut would look like this:

parameters:
    errorFormatters:
        formatters:
            - table
            - gitlabFile
            - prettyJsonFile
        jsonFile: %currentWorkingDirectory%/phpstan.json
        gitlabFile: %currentWorkingDirectory%/phpstan-gitlab.json
      # other config...
