Sublime Text 4 - PHP : phpactor does not recognize standards PHP functions and classes

[srbetasign]

Hello,

Happy new year !!!

First, thank you for this amazing plugin which has turned my Sublime Text into a real and impressive IDE !

---

Bug description

I have an issue on a Symfony 7 project, about standard functions like implode() or array_column()and standard classes like \RuntimeException or \DateTimeImmutable: they are marked as "not found".

This error is triggered if I use \DateTimeImmutable or if I add the use statement use DateTimeImmutable;.

Configuration & settings

I am using the latest version of Sublime Text 4 (Build 4189) and the latest version of Phpactor:

$ /path/to/phpactor.phar status
Version: 2024.11.28.1
Filesystems: git, simple, composer
Working directory: /home/dev/www/sf7

Config files (missing is not bad):

  ✘ /home/dev/.config/phpactor/phpactor.json
  ✘ /home/dev/.config/phpactor/phpactor.yml
  ✔ /home/dev/www/sf7/.phpactor.json
  ✘ /home/dev/www/sf7/.phpactor.yml

Diagnostics:

  ✔ Composer detected - Phpactor could work faster without an index
  ✔ Git detected - enables faster refactorings in your repository scope!
  ✔ XDebug is disabled. XDebug has a negative effect on performance.

I have installed the LSP plugin for Sublime Text with the following settings:

{
  "clients": {
    "phpactor": {
      "command": [
        "/home/dev/bin/phpactor.phar",
        "language-server"
      ],
      "enabled": true,
      "priority_selector": "source.php",
      "selector": "source.php | embedding.php",
      "syntaxes": [
        "Packages/PHP/PHP.sublime-syntax"
      ]
    }
  }
}

And here is the .phpactor.json configuration file:

{
    "$schema": "/phpactor.schema.json",
    "language_server_phpstan.enabled": true,
    "language_server_php_cs_fixer.enabled": false,
    "behat.enabled": true,
    "behat.symfony.di_xml_path": "var/cache/test/App_KernelTestDebugContainer.xml",
    "symfony.enabled": true,
    "indexer.exclude_patterns": [
        "/vendor/**/Tests/**/*",
        "/vendor/**/tests/**/*",
        "/var/cache/**/*",
        "/vendor/composer/**/*"
    ]
}

Test Phpactor in command line

When, i run Phpactor in command line on a PHP file with the "Not found" errors, no one is displayed:

$ /path/to/phpactor.phar worse:analyse src/Classes/MyPhpClass.php 
Analysing files...

    0 [->--------------------------]

0 problems in 0.0126 seconds with 21,682,448b memory

This is the expected behavior.

---

Partial conclusion

As Phpactor runs as expected in command line, it leads to think the issue should be in the configuration/settings files.

I am aware for any advice or solution.

Thank you.

Best regards.

Sam.

Try changing your config to this per commit f4223d6

"selector": "embedding.php",
"priority_selector": "source.php",

[SamirRadjiAramisauto]

Thank you @MarketHubb for your help.

Unfortunately, this configuration has not solved the issue :/.

Maybe, i should install some extra plugins/lib ?

[MarketHubb]

@SamirRadjiAramisauto,

Here's what I would try:

1. Simplify your LSP.sublime-settings to:

**note, the "command" value below assumes I have phpactor in my system $PATH. Add yours if you can, if not, make sure that's setup to point to your binaries **

"phpactor": {
			"enabled": true,
			"command": [
				"phpactor",
				"language-server",
			],
			"selector": "embedding.php",
			"priority_selector": "source.php",
		},

2. Remove (or rename) your current phpactor.json in your project root, and run a simple phpactor config:initialize to create a default init file.

If those don't work, try setting the log_debug to true in your LSP settings and see if phpactor is throwing any errors there, or in your ST startup logs.

If all else, fails - jump on the Sublime Discord and post your issue to the #lsp channel.

Here's what it should look like with phpactor setup properly:
