staticMethod.deprecatedClass

Code example

<?php declare(strict_types = 1);

/** @deprecated Use NewFactory instead */
class OldFactory
{
	public static function create(): object
	{
		return new \stdClass();
	}
}

OldFactory::create();

Why is it reported?

This error is reported by the phpstan-deprecation-rules extension.

A static method is being called on a class that is marked as @deprecated. Deprecated classes are scheduled for removal or replacement. Calling static methods on them ties the code to an API that will eventually be removed.

How to fix it

Use the recommended replacement class instead:

-OldFactory::create();
+NewFactory::create();

If the calling code is itself deprecated, the error will not be reported. Mark the function or class as deprecated if it is part of a deprecation migration:

+/** @deprecated */
 function doFoo(): void
 {
 	OldFactory::create();
 }
