Bug: Extended Namespaces are preventing files from importing

[seb86]

I'm not able to get any file that uses Namespaces extensively. A single Namespace is acceptable but longer Namespaces are ignored.

Any chance of getting this fixed or know of a workaround?

Example of a class using Namespaces that are ignored.

<?php
namespace MainNamespace\SecondName;

use \Automattic\WooCommerce\Checkout\Helpers\ReserveStock;

[jrfnl]

use \Automattic\WooCommerce\Checkout\Helpers\ReserveStock;

Without an opinion on this issue: use statements always need the fully qualified name, so please don't use a leading backslash.

use \Automattic\WooCommerce\Checkout\Helpers\ReserveStock;

Without an opinion on this issue: use statements always need the fully qualified name, so please don't use a leading backslash.

Then I cant use the namespace as it is outside my plugin.

Anyway either line stops importing the file.

use Namespace does work but anything past that seems to stop. I'm sure a tweak somewhere can correct this. Just need to know where.

Note: still off-topic.

Then I cant use the namespace as it is outside my plugin.

I honestly don't know what you mean. Sounds more like an autoloading issue.
use statements with a leading backslash is a big no-no and whether something is from inside or outside your plugin is completely irrelevant to that.

Anyway back on topic.

If the class is like this then it imports fine.

<?php
namespace MainNamespace;

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
	exit;
}

/**
 * Cart Cache for Cart REST API.
 *
 * This handles the cart data in cache before the totals are calculated.
 *
 * @since 3.1.0
 */
class ClassName {

But if I have a class like so then it is not importing.

<?php
namespace MainNamespace\SecondName;

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
	exit;
}

/**
 * Cart Cache for Cart REST API.
 *
 * This handles the cart data in cache before the totals are calculated.
 *
 * @since 3.1.0
 */
class ClassName {

Any clue why?

[seb86]

So after spending some more time on why it's not importing certain files in my plugin. I found out that it doesn't like any lines or even parameters in a function that are using a backslash.

I believe I have narrowed it down to the dependency your using called Reflection which is what parses the contents of the files being imported. This parser plugin is currently using v3.0

Perhaps we could have it updated?

If a new issue with examples is required please let me know.

It's essentially #228 - basically all issues that pop up here now are bc of the ancient Reflection version used here.

Please check if this is also broken in #250, which updates the Reflection library and the underlying use of nikic/php-parser
