The problem in PHP8 - Githubissues

mitsh commented 3 years ago

This issue has appeared after upgrading to PHP8.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected token "*" in /tmp/lci_7myMwD on line 2

I did a search and found the problem and I made a change in this file; ./src/vendor/lightncandy/Exporter.php

/**
 * Get metadata from ReflectionObject
 *
 * @param object $refobj instance of the ReflectionObject
 *
 * @return array
 */
public static function getMeta($refobj)
{
    $fname = $refobj->getFileName();
    $lines = file_get_contents($fname);
    $file = new \SplFileObject($fname);
    // $file->seek($refobj->getStartLine() - 2);     <-- this is the old one
    $file->seek($refobj->getStartLine() - 1);
    $spos = $file->ftell();
    //     $file->seek($refobj->getEndLine() - 1);   <-- this is the old one
    $file->seek($refobj->getEndLine());
    $epos = $file->ftell();
    unset($file);
    return array(
        'name' => $refobj->getName(),
        'code' => substr($lines, $spos, $epos - $spos)
    );
}

Is this a correct way to fix it?

This is also helping for me. I'm also on php 8. Not sure if it is the right way to go, I hope we get some feedback on that. I had a similar error, mine was

CRITICAL: Uncaught Exception ParseError: "syntax error, unexpected token ","" at /tmp/lci_Z3NgN8 line 14 {"exception":"[object] (ParseError(code: 0): syntax error, unexpected token \",\" at /tmp/lci_Z3NgN8:14)"}
