phpstan.paths is being applied to phpstan.binPath since v3.2.0

[stefanfisk]

I have a script in dev/bin/phpstan that runs phpstan inside of a docker container. This together with phpstan.paths has worked great up until v3.2.0. Now the path mapping is being applied to binPath which results in the bin not being found.

When this happened there was no immediately clear error message. I first noticed the issue after I was confused about why the problems tab was empty even though I had a clear type mismatch in my code.

Hmm I'm not too sure what the best course of action is here. I think it is the "right" way to go for it to be pathmapped. I'd assume that binPath points to the PHPStan binary itself in most workspaces, in which case path mapping should be enabled. A couple of ways to fix this for your case:

• You can use the binCommand setting instead. This describes the command to be used instead of a file, and is meant specifically for docker-like cases.
• You can use the PHPStan: Launch setup command to set up and test your configuration specifically for docker. Then you don't need to refer to a custom script anymore and can use it the "native" way. (unless that script contains some special args of course, which you could add to binCommand or args but I can imagine if you want to keep it in your script).

I cleared all of my settings for the extension and then ran PHPStan: Launch setup and now it's all working again.
