Set changes :wastebasket:

NullToStrictStringFuncCallArgRector out of the PHP 8.1 set (#8234)

The rule and all its fixtures stay, so it can still be opted into:

:::php
->withRules([NullToStrictStringFuncCallArgRector::class])


Deprecations :skull:

TypeDeclarationDocblocks: 3 data provider docblock rules (#8235)

Data provider docblock typing is not relevant to code quality — it increases maintenance cost and decreases readability of the test class.

Deprecated rules:

  • AddReturnArrayDocblockFromDataProviderParamRector
  • AddReturnDocblockDataProviderRector
  • AddParamArrayDocblockFromDataProviderRector


rectorphp/rector-symfony :musical_note:

  • [Symfony72] Match push() to its own RequestStack variable in PushRequestToRequestStackConstructorRector (#971)
  • [Symfony44] Skip custom isGranted() service calls in controllers in AuthorizationCheckerIsGrantedExtractorRector (#973)
  • [Symfony42] Update Cookie fixture after NewToStaticCallRector config removal (#974)
  • Drop rector/type-perfect, its rules ship in tomasvotruba/type-coverage 2.3 now (#972)
  • Bump dev dependencies, PHPUnit 13 (#976)
  • [deps] Bump symfony/config to ^8.1 (#977)

Deprecated: SimplifyFormRenderingRector (#975)

The rule removed the explicit ->createView() call when a form was passed to render():

Symfony supports passing the FormInterface directly, but the shorthand is ambiguous and breaks dynamic forms: forms modified in PRE_SET_DATA/POST_SUBMIT listeners and submitted over AJAX end up with a 422 response and no clear error. Keeping the explicit ->createView() call is the reliable form. See [symfony/symfony#50542](https://github.com/symfony/symfony/issues/50542).


rectorphp/rector-phpunit :test_tube:

rectorphp/rector-downgrade-php :arrow_down:

  • [DowngradePhp81] Reference MHASH_* constants by name in DowngradeHashAlgorithmXxHashRector to fix PHP 8.5 deprecation (#386)
