Output (formats)

PHPLint application is based on Symfony Console Component that hook into lifecycle of console application using events.

When you enable the OutputFormat extension, PHPLint use the chain-of-responsibility pattern via the Overtrue\PHPLint\Output\ChainOutput object and its handlers (Overtrue\PHPLint\Output\*Output):

• ConsoleOutput print results to the standard output
• JsonOutput print results on JSON format to a file (default to standard output)
• JunitOutput print results on Junit format to a file (default to standard output)
• CheckstyleOutput print results on Checkstyle format to a file (default to standard output)
• SarifOutput print results on SARIF format to a file (default to standard output)

ConsoleOutput handler

This default handler is responsible to print PHPLint results to standard output. For example:

JsonOutput handler

This handler is responsible to print PHPLint results on JSON private format. For example:

{
    "status": "failure",
    "failures": {
        "/path/to/tests/fixtures/syntax_error.php": {
            "absolute_file": "/path/to/tests/fixtures/syntax_error.php",
            "relative_file": "fixtures/syntax_error.php",
            "error": "unexpected end of file in line 4",
            "line": 4
        },
        "/path/to/tests/fixtures/php-8.2_syntax.php": {
            "absolute_file": "/path/to/tests/fixtures/php-8.2_syntax.php",
            "relative_file": "fixtures/php-8.2_syntax.php",
            "error": "False can not be used as a standalone type in line 12",
            "line": 12
        }
    },
    "application_version": {
        "long": "phplint 9.4.0",
        "short": "9.4.0"
    },
    "time_usage": "< 1 sec",
    "memory_usage": "6.0 MiB",
    "cache_usage": "0 hit, 12 misses",
    "process_count": 12,
    "files_count": 12,
    "options_used": {
        "path": [
            "tests/"
        ],
        "configuration": ".phplint.yml",
        "no-configuration": true,
        "exclude": [],
        "extensions": [
            "php"
        ],
        "jobs": 5,
        "no-cache": true,
        "cache": ".phplint.cache",
        "no-progress": false,
        "progress": "printer",
        "log-json": "php://stdout",
        "log-junit": false,
        "warning": false,
        "memory-limit": "512M",
        "ignore-exit-code": false
    }
}

JunitOutput handler

This handler is responsible to print PHPLint results on Junit XML format. For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<testsuites>
  <testsuite name="PHP Linter 9.4.0" timestamp="2024-07-05T08:21:51+0000" time="&lt; 1 sec" tests="1" errors="2">
    <testcase errors="2" failures="0">
      <error type="Error" message="unexpected end of file in line 4">/path/to/fixtures/syntax_error.php</error>
      <error type="Error" message="False can not be used as a standalone type in line 12">/path/to/fixtures/php-8.2_syntax.php</error>
    </testcase>
  </testsuite>
</testsuites>

CheckstyleOutput handler

This handler is responsible to print PHPLint results on Checkstyle XML format. For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<checkstyle>
  <file name="/path/to/fixtures/syntax_error.php">
    <error line="4" severity="error" message="unexpected end of file in line 4"/>
  </file>
  <file name="/path/to/fixtures/php-8.2_syntax.php">
    <error line="12" severity="error" message="False can not be used as a standalone type in line 12"/>
  </file>
  <file name="/path/to/fixtures/syntax_warning.php">
    <error line="12" severity="error" message=" declare(encoding=...) ignored because Zend multibyte feature is turned off by settings in line 12"/>
  </file>
</checkstyle>

SarifOutput handler

[!NOTE]

Since version 9.4.0, this format is optional and requires an extra package to be installed.

composer require --dev bartlett/sarif-php-converters

This handler is responsible to print PHPLint results on SARIF JSON format. Learn more at https://github.com/llaville/sarif-php-converters/blob/1.0/docs/converter/phplint.md

LinterOutput object

This object represent the PHPLint results of all file checked.

It will allow to easily communicate with other extension or output handler. Thanks to the Event-Dispatcher component.
