syntax error in the .phar archive
Closed this issue · 3 comments
I downloaded the .phar archive as described in the README in this repo.
When run, I get the following error:
`PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting ';' or '{' in phar:///usr/local/bin/phpcpd/src/CLI/Application.php on line 99
oh I see. it works in a server with PHP 7.2 on it, but not PHP 5.6
it only works in PHP 7, because of how you're defining disableXdebug
private function disableXdebug(): void
I've never seen that before in PHP, and don't see it in the online documentation.

The void return type was added in PHP 7.1, see http://php.net/manual/en/migration71.new-features.php#migration71.new-features.void-functions.
it only works in PHP 7 [...]
PHPCPD version 4 requires at least PHP 7.1. This is not explicitly stated in the readme, but can be found in composer.json: https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpcpd/blob/4.0.0/composer.json#L25. I would strongly recommend to upgrade to at least PHP 7.1 anyway, since older versions are not supported anymore (http://php.net/supported-versions.php).
However it is explicitly stated in https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpcpd/blob/master/build/phar-autoload.php.in to be compatible with php 5.6.
Given that these are the first lines anyone opening the phar file reads. maybe the should be adjusted?
