catch.deprecatedInterface

Code example

<?php declare(strict_types = 1);

/** @deprecated Use NewExceptionInterface instead */
interface OldExceptionInterface extends \Throwable
{
}

try {
    // ...
} catch (OldExceptionInterface $e) {
    // ...
}

Why is it reported?

The catch clause references an interface that has been marked with a @deprecated PHPDoc tag. The interface is scheduled for removal or replacement, and any usage of it -- including catching exceptions by this interface type -- should be migrated to the recommended alternative.

This rule is provided by the phpstan-deprecation-rules package.

How to fix it

Replace the deprecated interface with its recommended replacement as indicated in the deprecation message:

 <?php declare(strict_types = 1);

 try {
     // ...
-} catch (OldExceptionInterface $e) {
+} catch (NewExceptionInterface $e) {
     // ...
 }
