Configure Rector and using a simple Rule with symfony 6/php8

Question

i want to use Rector for refactoring my code because i update my project to symfony 5.4 to 6.1. My php project version : 8.1.5

So, i want to use a simple rule who change my annotation to attribut with rector. but when i execute rector with command : vendor/bin/rector process src

rector inform me : [OK] Rector is done!

But my file don't change, my entity annotation don't change. i try to follow this documentation for config my rector.php and use rector with symfony.

https://github.com/rectorphp/rector-symfony

https://github.com/rectorphp/rector

what i do wrong ?

this is my rector.php

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use Rector\Config\RectorConfig;
use Rector\Php80\ValueObject\AnnotationToAttribute;
use Rector\Php80\Rector\Class_\AnnotationToAttributeRector;
use Rector\Symfony\Rector\MethodCall\StringFormTypeToClassRector;
use Rector\Symfony\Rector\Class_\CommandPropertyToAttributeRector;

return static function (RectorConfig $rectorConfig): void {
    $rectorConfig->paths([
        __DIR__ . '/src'
    ]);

    $rectorConfig->phpstanConfig(__DIR__ . '/phpstan.neon');

    $rectorConfig->symfonyContainerXml(__DIR__ . '/var/cache/dev/App_KernelDevDebugContainer.xml');

    
    $rectorConfig->ruleWithConfiguration(
      AnnotationToAttributeRector::class,
      [new AnnotationToAttribute('Symfony\Routing\Annotation\Route')]
  );
    // register a single rule
    //$rectorConfig->rule(CommandPropertyToAttributeRector::class);

    // define sets of rules
      /* $rectorConfig->sets([
        SymfonySetList::SYMFONY_60,
        SymfonySetList::SYMFONY_CODE_QUALITY,
        SymfonySetList::SYMFONY_CONSTRUCTOR_INJECTION,
        ]);*/
};

I am facing the same problem. Files won't be changed. Did you find a solution yet? – Unilingual

Answer 1

Clearing the rector cache worked for me:

vendor/bin/rector process --clear-cache --dry-run

Glockenspiel

This worked for me, but I suggest people try vendor/bin/rector process --clear-cache --dry-run first... the command as written above does the whole shebang immediately (it doesn't just clear the cache!) – Haematosis

Thanks for the suggestion caponica, I changed my response accordingly. – Glockenspiel

Answer 2

So, the problem here is the version of php in composer.json

we just need to change php version 7 to 8

"php": ">=7.2.5" to "php": "^8.0"

This was literally the first page I opened to resolve my issue. I spent hours trying to fix my issue(I ignored your solution). but after by chance coming onto this page and not ignoring this solution. my problem got solved in minutes. – Calvaria

Answer 3

It is working for me:

use Rector\Symfony\Set\SymfonySetList;
use Rector\Config\RectorConfig;
use Rector\Doctrine\Set\DoctrineSetList;
use Rector\Symfony\Set\SensiolabsSetList;
use Rector\Set\ValueObject\SetList;

return static function (RectorConfig $rectorConfig): void {
    $rectorConfig->paths([
        __DIR__ . '/src'
    ]);
    $rectorConfig->symfonyContainerXml(__DIR__ . '/var/cache/dev/App_KernelDevDebugContainer.xml');
    $rectorConfig->sets([
        SymfonySetList::SYMFONY_60,
        SymfonySetList::SYMFONY_CODE_QUALITY,
        SymfonySetList::SYMFONY_CONSTRUCTOR_INJECTION
    ]);
    
    $rectorConfig->sets([
        DoctrineSetList::ANNOTATIONS_TO_ATTRIBUTES,
        SymfonySetList::ANNOTATIONS_TO_ATTRIBUTES,
        SensiolabsSetList::FRAMEWORK_EXTRA_61 
       
    ]);


};

Answer 4

I am not sure why exactly but for me the solution was to remove the path config:

$rectorConfig->paths([
    __DIR__ . '/src'
]);

and only use the path as an argument to the binary call:

php vendor/bin/rector process <PATH>

Answer 5

At the time there is a new way of configuring the rector.php it's this way

use Rector\Config\RectorConfig;

return RectorConfig::configure()
    // register single rule
    ->withAttributesSets(doctrine: true);

According to the at the time documentation https://getrector.com/documentation/set-lists
