A static method is being called on an enum that is marked as @internal. Internal enums are not part of the public API of the package that defines them and may change or be removed without notice. Calling static methods on them creates a dependency on implementation details.
Use the public API of the package instead of calling static methods on internal enums:
namespace App {
function test(): void {
- \Vendor\InternalStatus::default();
+ \Vendor\PublicStatus::default();
}
}
If the enum is internal to your own project and the usage is within the same root namespace, the error will not be reported.
