version 1.8.4 cause Found 1 unknown class error on single class definition and use

[samsonasik]

when defined:

// use the defined class::constant just defined in the file.
return DowngradeRectorConfig::DEPENDENCY_EXCLUDE_PATHS;

/** the DowngradeRectorConfig is clearly defined in the target file here */
final class DowngradeRectorConfig
{
    public const DEPENDENCY_EXCLUDE_PATHS = [
          // definition here ...
    ];
}

in single definition and run, it cause the error:

Found 1 unknown class!
(unable to autoload those, so we cannot check them)

  • DowngradeRectorConfig
    in build/config/config-downgrade.php:10

seems DowngradeRectorConfig not detected while it actually defined.

It is not autoloadable, thus is reported.

[samsonasik]

imo, this should be marked as autoloaded already, as just defined in the target file, in 1.8.3, it works ok.

The thing is that we fixed discovery of this class usage (previously was unseen). And since the file build/config/config-downgrade.php is not discoverable by composer autoloader, it gets reported as unknown.

You can fix it by moving the class to some autoloadable directory or by adding such file to composer's autoloader.
