Hello,

I am a PHP noob here, and it's my first time using Eclipse PHP. I installed joomla and used xampp to host. Everthing works very well, I can create project base on the joomla folder and able to run the web application inside the Eclipse. However, the joomla I used is very fresh, I didn't touch anything. But eclipse shows a lot of errors....most of them like "Cannot be solved to a type". I am doing something wrong in building the project???

Thank you,
Fang

Did you upgrade from lower v. PHP to a higher v. PHP?

Check the Joomla! version. This appears to be a known problem from version 3.8 of Joomla! onwards.

Symptoms are many hundreds of Error messages in Eclipse of two forms:

  • "The import ******\******\****** cannot be resolved"
  • "****** cannot be resolved to a type"


For advice on how to address this problem see:

There are problems running the file "stubGenerator.php" (version 3.9.2 RC, 2019-01-11) in Eclipse 2019-09 with PHP 7.3.5.

From the command line (outside Eclipse, using the PHP installed with my WAMP) calling "php stubGenerator.php" I get:
Quote:
Fatal error: Class StubGenerator contains 2 abstract methods and must therefore be declared abstract or implement the remaining methods (Joomla\CMS\Application\CMSApplicationInterface::getName, Joomla\CMS\Application\CMSApplicationInterface::getMenu) in C:\wamp64\www\Joomla_4-0-0-a11\Build\stubGenerator.php on line 52


From Eclipse I got the same Error. I tried the two automated 'fixes' offered by Eclipse, but still couldn't get the file to run correctly.

The "stubGenerator.php" file is supposed to generate a file "stubs.php" in the root of the Joomla! installation (for example, "C:\wamp64\www\myJoom"). Tuan Pham Ngoc uploaded the appropriate "stubs.php" that was generated from an amended version of "stubGenerator.php" in September 2017. (This fixed a problem with the original "stubGenerator.php" creating class names with the wrong capitalisation.)

A further problem noted within the comments of the current "stubGenerator.php" file itself is:
Quote:
Note that this file will raise some IDE errors as it will generate stub classes extending a final class (something not allowed in PHP). Therefore it is suggested that inspections on this file are disabled.


Errors shown for the 2017 "stubs.php" file in Eclipse include:

  • "The type ****** must implement the inherited abstract method ******::***()"
  • "****** cannot be resolved to a type"

It is not clear to me how to disable "inspections" on an individual file (especially given that "stubs.php" is supposed to be placed in the Joomla! root directory, not its own subdirectory).
