I cant get it working, i always fail with:

But

works perfectly fine. What could be the issue?

[SanderRonde]

Which version are you using? The -c parameter should specify the config file.

[apss-pohl]

I am working on ubuntu linux

[SanderRonde]

Ah I meant the version of the PHPStan program itself. What version is that?

[apss-pohl]

sure:

        "name": "phpstan/phpstan",
        "version": "1.10.63",

[apss-pohl]

i might have messed up with the php executable. After a fresh restart of vscode the message disappeared. Unfortunately a new one came up:

I am on a php 7.4 project, therefore this will not work:

        $scope->getClassReflection()?->getName(),

However i also have php 8 available. Should i configure the extension to use this? Is it is possible?

[SanderRonde]

Can you disable the languageServer setting? (i think it should be disabled by default). That should fix the issue

[apss-pohl]

I managed that php 8 is used, everything working fine now. Maybe an option to configure the executable would be a nice to have.

Thank you and sorry for confusion!

[SanderRonde]

You can configure the executable using the phpstan.binCommand setting, you can use that to run anything you want (so ['/bin/php8', 'vendor/bin/phpstan'] etc :)

No worries, glad you were able to figure it out.
