False Postive: Aliased PHP 8.0 Attributes on Class properties leading to "Namespaced classes/interfaces/traits should be referenced with use statements" #213

[WengerK]

When having a class with Aliased PHP Attributes attached to properties we get the following phpcs error

Namespaced classes/interfaces/traits should be referenced with use statements

<?php

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

/**
 * Foo class description.
 */
class Foo {

  #[Assert\NotBlank]
  /**
   * Bar property.
   *
   * @var bool
   */
  private bool $bar;

}

This is a very commong Symfony community drive way to add assertion using a Namespace alias Assert.

Workaround

A working workaround for now is to remove the namespace alias.

<?php

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\NotBlank;

/**
 * Foo class description.
 */
class Foo {

  #[NotBlank]
  /**
   * Bar property.
   *
   * @var bool
   */
  private bool $bar;

}

PS : Openning related issue for missplaced Attribute before comment (see #213)
