Panaly - Project Analyzer - Baseline Plugin

The plugin for the Panaly Project Analyzer provides metrics for various tool baselines in the development ecosystem. When introducing new quality tools or rules, it's not always feasible to fix all errors immediately. Most tools offer a "baseline" feature to store existing errors at a specific time, which are then ignored during checks. This allows developers to fix these issues over time while ensuring new code meets quality standards, preventing new technical debt.

Available Metrics

PHPMD Baseline Count

Identifier: phpmd_baseline_count

Returns an Integer result with the count of entries in a PHPMD baseline file, which can be filtered by subject.

Option	Description
baseline	(Required) The PHPMD baseline file, which must be readable and in the known PHPMD XML format.
filter	(Optional) An array of rules to filter the baseline, e.g., `StaticAccess` or `CyclomaticComplexity`.

PHPStan Baseline Count

Identifier: phpstan_baseline_count

Returns an Integer result with the sum of entries in a PHPStan baseline file, summarizing the count of each entry.

Option	Description
baseline	(Required) The PHPStan baseline file, which must be readable and in the known PHPStan NEON format.
paths	(Optional) Only count files for specific paths in the baseline file. A path can be anything valid in a CODEOWNERS file.

Psalm Baseline Count

Identifier: psalm_baseline_count

Returns an Integer result with the sum of all code entries representing a single error within a class.

Option	Description
baseline	(Required) The Psalm baseline file, which must be readable and in the known Psalm XML format.
paths	(Optional) Only count files for specific paths in the baseline file. A path can be anything valid in a CODEOWNERS file.
