rexstan

Adds code analysis to REDAXO improving developer productivity and code quality.

IDE Integration

The most effective way to use rexstan is to integrate it with your IDE. That way you get problems reported while working on your source code.

PHPStorm

Open Preferences and search for phpstan.

Navigate to PHP -> Quality Tools -> PHPStan and open the Local Configuration by pressing the ...-Button.

Configure the PHPStan path to /path/to/your/project/redaxo/src/addons/rexstan/vendor/bin/phpstan. Click validate and verify no error is reported.

Click PHPStan Inpsection. Enable the PHPStan validation by ticking the checkbox. Configure the Configuration file to /path/to/your/project/redaxo/src/addons/rexstan/phpstan.neon.

You might consider raising the Severity for the PHPStan validation to either Warning or Error.

Close all Dialogs with OK.

Web UI

When your webserver allows, you can see and run the analysis via the REDAXO backend web interface. This might not work on any server, because of security settings.

To optimize the developer experience you should enable REDAXO editor integration.

Todo Comment expiration

Utilizing phpstan-todo-by rexstan will support todo comments in your code, with expiration.

Examples:

// TODO redaxo/redaxo#5860 turns into a phpstan error when the github issue (or pull request) is closed
// TODO 2021-09-30 turns into a error when todays date is after 2021-09-30

REDAXO Console

Its possible to run the analysis via the REDAXO console via php redaxo/bin/console rexstan:analyze command, which should work in most environments.

This might be usefull, to e.g. create reports, so you can track reported problems and your progress handling them over time.

REDAXO Docker

If you use rexstan with docker-redaxo you might need to set the /tmp folder writable. Open the docker console and run: chmod 777 -R /tmp && chmod o+t -R /tmp

PHP Memory limits

If you encounter problems with memory consumption, the PHP memory limit should be increased.

Set the PHP Memory limit in php.ini to: memory_limit = 1024M or more

For REDAXO Docker Image

Open the Docker console and set the new memory limit with : printf 'memory_limit = 1024M\n' >> /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/uploads.ini \

Restart the container
