Released Rector 2.6.2
on GitHub

2 hours ago

The 2.6.0 release introduced composer-based sets. This release finishes the job: every extension package now ships a single composer-based set, and the per-version set providers behind the old guessing game are gone. 

use Rector\Config\RectorConfig;

return RectorConfig::configure()
    ->withComposerBased(
        doctrine: true,
        phpunit: true,
        twig: true,
    );

Each rule inside checks composer.json/installed.json on its own and runs only if the installed package version matches its constraint. No SymfonySetList::SYMFONY_63, no picking a PHPUnit version by hand. We're working hard to bring Drupal and Laravel community packages to the same system.


Run only the PHP rules (#8322)

A new --php option on the process command runs only rules bound to a minimal PHP version — those implementing MinPhpVersionInterface. Useful to split a PHP upgrade from the rest, without a second config: 

vendor/bin/rector process src --php --dry-run

New features 🥳

  • [Process] Add --php option to run only PHP version rules (#8322)
  • [Configuration] Resolve the composer-based set of extension packages in withComposerBased() (#8332), load Doctrine and Twig composer-based sets (#8313)
  • [Configuration] Report explicit error when the --only rule exists but is not registered in rector.php (#8300)
  • [DX] Warn on skipped classes that are not Rector rules (#8323), include the skipped class name in the message (#8325)
  • [DX] Show previous exceptions during bootstrap (#8287) 
 [WARNING] This skipped class is not a Rector rule, so it can never be skipped.
           Only classes that implement "Rector\Contract\Rector\RectorInterface"
           can be used in "->withSkip()"

Deprecations 💀

Deprecated rules run without any effect, and print a warning and will be removed in a future major release.
These were deprecated as not part of any set, risky, opinionated or excluded by most users. The goal is to keep Rector valuable and reliable for the every day user.
