Turn on missingCheckedExceptionInThrows. Tests stay in the analysis for all other rules, but missing @throws tags in tests are ignored, because PHPUnit handles any exception a test throws. Configure Error and BadMethodCallException as unchecked. They signal programmer errors. Setting Error explicitly also makes the result independent of the PHPStan version, because older 2.2 releases treat Error as checked by default. InvalidArgumentException stays checked, because the lookup methods throw it for an invalid IP address, which is runtime data. Document the exceptions that Database\Reader passes on from MaxMind\Db\Reader: - The constructor can also throw UnexpectedValueException. - The lookup methods throw BadMethodCallException for a closed reader or a lookup in progress, and InvalidArgumentException for an IPv6 address in an IPv4-only database. - metadata() declares InvalidDatabaseException, which the C extension throws if it cannot decode the metadata. It no longer declares InvalidArgumentException, which it cannot throw. The private lookup helpers declare their exceptions so that the check follows them to the public methods. Inline ignores cover the exceptions that the code cannot throw. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The lookup methods now document the BadMethodCallException that MaxMind\Db\Reader throws for a closed reader. No test covered it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
composer.lock is not committed, so the require-dev constraints alone decide which tool versions CI and developers install. PHPStan used "*", which allows any version, including a future major release that changes behavior. php-cs-fixer allowed any 3.x release. Require the major and minor versions that CI installs now: PHPStan 2.2, PHP_CodeSniffer 4.0, and php-cs-fixer 3.95. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
These inline ignores (here and at line 367) cover incorrect @throws tags in maxmind-db/reader. The open reader PR (maxmind/MaxMind-DB-Reader-php#299) corrects those tags. After it is released, these ignores match no error, and PHPStan fails:
No error with identifier missingType.checkedException is reported on line 357.
No error with identifier missingType.checkedException is reported on line 368.
composer.lock is not committed, ^1.13.0 accepts the new release, and the lint job runs every week. Thus CI can fail with no change to this repo. I reproduced this with the #299 source in vendor.
Fix: move these ignores to phpstan.neon with reportUnmatched: false, so that PHPStan passes before and after the reader release. After the release, raise the reader constraint and remove the ignores. See the release-order comment in this review.

Fixed in 62928b5. Both ignores now match the specific method and exception in phpstan.neon, with reportUnmatched: false. PHPStan passes with the released reader and with the updated #299 source. The ignores can be removed after the reader release and minimum-version bump.

getRecord(), modelFor(), flatModelFor() and the public lookup methods do not declare \RuntimeException. MaxMind\Db\Reader\Decoder throws it when neither gmp nor bcmath is installed and a uint64 value of 2^63 or more (or a uint128 value) must be decoded. It also throws it when a pointer is too large for the platform.
Now callers can get this exception, but the PHPDoc does not show it. After reader #299 is released (it declares this exception), PHPStan reports missingType.checkedException at line 322. I reproduced this.

Fixed in fa55c96. The three helpers and all public lookup methods now declare RuntimeException. Reader #299 now uses an UnsupportedPlatformException subclass for these failures, so this declaration covers both old and new reader versions. PHPStan passes with the updated reader source.

The constructor declares \UnexpectedValueException but not its parent \RuntimeException. The pure-PHP reader can throw RuntimeException when it decodes the metadata in the constructor.
After reader #299 is released, PHPStan reports "Reader::__construct() throws checked exception RuntimeException but it's missing from the PHPDoc @throws tag" at line 72. I reproduced this. If you declare \RuntimeException, it covers both cases.

This check now applies to all of src, which includes GeoIp2\WebService\Client. That class does not declare the RuntimeException that MaxMind\WebService\Client throws when curl_version() fails or the cURL handle cannot start.
The open web-service-common PR (maxmind/web-service-common-php#142) declares these exceptions, and ~0.11 accepts a 0.12 release. After that release, PHPStan fails at src/WebService/Client.php:100 (__construct) and :229 (responseFor). I reproduced this.

Fixed in f91d0ce. The web client constructor and lookup call chain now declare the exceptions from older HTTP client releases. The constructor also declares WebServiceException for the revised #142 implementation. #142 now wraps setup failures in WebServiceException, which the lookup path already translates to GeoIp2Exception. PHPStan and PHPUnit pass with the updated dependency source.

You can remove this ignore if you type the argument as a class string. Add @param class-string $class to getRecord(), modelFor() and flatModelFor(). WebService\Client::responseFor() already does this with class-string<TModel>. With this type, PHPStan does not report ReflectionException, and it also checks the call sites. I verified this.

close() does not declare @throws \BadMethodCallException. Both readers throw it when the reader is already closed (Attempt to close a closed MaxMind DB.). This comment names that exception, and the lookups and metadata() now document the closed-reader case. Thus close() is not consistent with them.
No test calls close() two times.

Only maxmind-db/reader 1.14.0 and later throws for "a lookup is in progress". composer.json still allows ^1.13.0. With 1.13.x, or with the C extension, a nested lookup does not throw this exception.
Raise the requirement to ^1.14.0, or limit this statement in the PHPDoc. The same text is on each lookup method.

This makes BadMethodCallException unchecked as a programmer error. But the lookups also throw it when the database type does not match the method, and that depends on which file the application loads at runtime. For example, an application opens a configured .mmdb path and calls city() on a Country or ASN file.
The PR keeps InvalidArgumentException checked for the same runtime-data reason. With this setting, checked-exception analysis never tells a caller to handle the database-type mismatch.

ProviderInterface::country() and city() (src/ProviderInterface.php:14 and :21) have no @throws tags. I put this comment here because that file is not in the diff.
Code that uses the interface does not see the exceptions that this PR documents on Database\Reader. PHPStan treats a call through the interface as an implicit throw, so it reports no missing @throws for these callers. If you enable PHPStan's throwTypeCovariance, it reports the Reader methods.

Fixed in 3200d2c. Both interface methods now declare the database and web service exception types. Calls through ProviderInterface therefore expose a checked-exception contract.

Release order for the 4 STF-1850 PRs. This comment is the same on each of them:
- Enable checked-exception analysis and validate malformed database data MaxMind-DB-Reader-php#299
- Enable checked-exception analysis and fix HTTP client error handling web-service-common-php#142
- Enable checked-exception analysis and complete exception contracts #348
- Enable checked-exception analysis and fix input validation failures minfraud-api-php#292
Reader #299 and web-service-common #142 add @throws \RuntimeException to methods that GeoIP2 and minFraud call. GeoIP2 and minFraud do not commit a lockfile, and their version constraints accept the new releases. GeoIP2 requires maxmind-db/reader: ^1.13.0 and maxmind/web-service-common: ~0.11. minFraud gets web-service-common through geoip2/geoip2: ^v3.4.0. Thus, when an upstream PR is released, PHPStan fails in the downstream repo on its next CI run, unless the downstream change is already merged.
Suggested order:
- Merge GeoIP2-php Enable checked-exception analysis and complete exception contracts #348 and minfraud-api-php Update changelog to mention #290 #292 first. Add
@throws \RuntimeExceptionwhere the upstream releases need it. The other comments in these reviews give the lines. An extra@throwstag is not an error now, becausetooWideThrowTypeis not enabled. In GeoIP2, move themetadata()andclose()ignores tophpstan.neonwithreportUnmatched: false, so that PHPStan passes before and after the reader release. - Release MaxMind-DB-Reader-php Bump zizmorcore/zizmor-action from 0.5.0 to 0.5.2 #299 and web-service-common-php Add static IP score support #142.
- In GeoIP2 and minFraud, raise the version constraints to the new releases and remove the ignores that are no longer necessary.

Agreed on the order. The downstream fixes are now pushed in #348 and maxmind/minfraud-api-php#292. Both pass PHPStan and PHPUnit with released dependencies and with the revised upstream source. Merge the downstream PRs before releasing maxmind/MaxMind-DB-Reader-php#299 and maxmind/web-service-common-php#142. After release, raise the dependency minimums and remove obsolete compatibility ignores.

Enable PHPStan checked-exception analysis for STF-1850. Missing exception declarations are checked in source code. Test methods and helpers are exempt, and source-only analysis also passes.
Complete the database reader, web client, and ProviderInterface exception declarations. Keep database-type mismatches checked. Use class-string annotations for model classes, and test closing a reader twice.
Optional metadata() and close() ignores cover incorrect declarations in older reader releases. They do not fail when newer releases correct those declarations. Nested-lookup documentation identifies the reader versions that enforce the restriction.
Released dependencies and the updated maxmind/MaxMind-DB-Reader-php#299 and maxmind/web-service-common-php#142 source pass PHPStan and PHPUnit. Merge this PR and maxmind/minfraud-api-php#292 before releasing those dependencies. Raise the dependency minimums and remove obsolete compatibility ignores after release. PHPStan 2.2.0 also passes.
Validation on PHP 8.5.4: PHPUnit, PHPStan 2.2.17, PHP-CS-Fixer, PHP_CodeSniffer, and Composer validation pass.
