NoVerify

NoVerify is a PHP linter: it finds possible bugs and style violations in your code.

• NoVerify has no config: any reported issue in your PHPDoc or PHP code must be fixed.
• NoVerify aims to understand PHP code at least as well as PHPStorm does. If it behaves incorrectly or suboptimally, please report issue.
• This tool is written in Go and uses z7zmey/php-parser.

Features

1. Fast: analyze ~100k LOC/s (lines of code per second) on Core i7.
2. Incremental: can analyze changes in git and show only new reports. Indexing speed is ~1M LOC/s.
3. Experimental language server for VS Code and other editors that support language server protocol.
4. Auto fixes for some warnings (when -fix flag is provided).

Default lints

NoVerify by default has the following checks:

• Unreachable code
• Array access to non-array type
• Too few arguments when calling a function/method
• Call to undefined function/method
• Fetching of undefined constant/class property
• Class not found
• PHPDoc is incorrect
• Undefined variable
• Variable not always defined
• Case without "break;"
• Syntax error
• Unused variable
• Incorrect access to private/protected elements
• Incorrect implementation of IteratorAggregate interface
• Incorrect array definition, e.g. duplicate keys
