Define varargs in \IDatabase::buildLike() in a way phan can understand it
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

Running phan (0.12.5) on some extensions I see often:

<error line="" severity="info" message="Call with 2 arg(s) to \Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::buildLike() which only takes 0 arg(s) defined at ../includes\libs\rdbms\database\IDatabase.php:1138" source="PhanParamTooMany"/>

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/core/+/master/includes/libs/rdbms/database/IDatabase.php#1138

I would say it needs @param string|LikeMatch,...

I have no idea how to fix this for phan.
Doing things only for a static analyzer is not nice, but the tool is helpful to find other mistakes.
Maybe it needs an own Plugin to declare the varargs on runtime inside phan

Copied here from code review (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/439303) for easy reference:

Fatal error: Parameter $params is variadic and has a type constraint (array); variadic params with type constraints are not supported in non-Hack files in /workspace/src/vendor/phpunit/phpunit-mock-objects/src/Framework/MockObject/Generator.php(290)(4aa354d35306d0068dd7cfe6fa0b0a25) : eval()'d code on line 1726

Comes from PHPUnit, which is wrongly inferring it from.. something.
Looks like this is due to a bug in HHVM's implementation of ReflectorClass/ReflectorParameter
https://3v4l.org/1spSX
On HHVM 1.13+, a variadic parameter is considered as having a type of 'array'. This makes some sense in that the lexical binding will indeed hold an array. But, it's a problem for the way PHPUnit reads it, because it uses that information to build a to-be-eval()'ed signature having the type "array", like "function( array ....$params )" which is not valid syntax in PHP 5.6 mode on HHVM. Because it does not support type-hinted splatted parameters.

So, the only issue is that PHPUnit 4 on HHVM is unable to create a mock object for this kind of signature.

Looks like the Jade repo is no longer affected. And gated extensions are also fine. Closing for now.
