[](#bugfree-dangerzone-)

Bugfree Dangerzone is a PHP namespace validator written in PHP. It uses your autoloader to verify that:

- all of the use statements are valid
- that all exception catch blocks and type hints have a valid type
- all doc block types are valid (eg @param Foo $foo)
- all Doctrine annotations can be resolved (eg @FOobar())
- access level validation for constructors and static methods
- Finally that all use statements are actually used.

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

Add "vektah/bugfree-dangerzone" to your projects composer.json, it should look something like this:

```
    "require-dev": {
        "vektah/bugfree-dangerzone": "0.2.0"
    },

```

Then of course:

```
composer.phar update

```

to update your dependencies

then run

```
./vendor/bin/bugfree lint src

```

If your project has its own autoloader you can use it instead:

```
./vendor/bin/bugfree lint --bootstrap yourautoloader.php src

```

XML Output
----------

[](#xml-output)

For use in CI tools like Jenkins some pretty test count output is just not good enough!

To generate machine readable output:

```
./vendor/bin/bugfree lint src --junitXml junit_results.xml --checkstyleXml checkstyle_results.xml

```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Bugfree Dangerzone is rather picky out of the box, but its easy to decrease its verbosity.

from your projects base directory run:

```
./vendor/bin/bugfree generateConfig

```

which will build a config file bugfree.json in your current directory:

```
{
    "emitLevel": {
        "unableToResolveType": "error",
        "unableToResolveTypeInComment": "error",
        "unableToResolveUse": "error",
        "useOfUnqualifiedType": "warning",
        "useOfUnqualifiedTypeInComment": "warning",
        "duplicateAlias": "error",
        "malformedUse": "error",
        "multiStatementUse": "warning",
        "missingNamespace": "error",
        "unusedUse": "warning"
    }
}

```

each of these warning types can be either error, warning, or suppress. For example to ignore all messages about missing namespaces then just change

```
"missingNamespace": "error",

```

to

```
"missingNamespace": "suppress",

```

If the configuration gets updated in the future to have more options then running generateConfig again will keep your current settings and add any new defaults.
