ignore.count

Code example

In phpstan.neon:

parameters:
	ignoreErrors:
		-
			message: '#Call to method Foo::bar\(\)#'
			path: src/Foo.php
			count: 1

This error is reported when the actual number of occurrences does not match the expected count.

Why is it reported?

The ignored error pattern was expected to match a specific number of times (count), but occurred either more or fewer times than expected. For example, if count: 1 is specified but the error occurs 3 times, this identifier is reported.

This typically happens after code changes -- a refactoring might introduce new instances of the error, or fix some of the existing ones, causing the count to drift from the configured value.

How to fix it

Update the count to match the actual number of occurrences:

 parameters:
 	ignoreErrors:
 		-
 			message: '#Call to method Foo::bar\(\)#'
 			path: src/Foo.php
-			count: 1
+			count: 3

Or remove the count parameter to ignore all occurrences of the error:

 parameters:
 	ignoreErrors:
 		-
 			message: '#Call to method Foo::bar\(\)#'
 			path: src/Foo.php
-			count: 1

If the ignored error no longer applies, remove the entry entirely. Learn more about ignoring errors in Ignoring Errors.
