Deprecated 'assertContains/assertNotContains' usage
Reports the deprecated assertContains() and assertNotContains() calls with the string $needle and $ignoreCase arguments.
Locating this inspection
- By ID
Can be used to locate inspection in e.g. Qodana configuration files, where you can quickly enable or disable it, or adjust its settings.
PhpUnitAssertContainsInspection- Via Settings dialog
Path to the inspection settings via IntelliJ Platform IDE Settings dialog, when you need to adjust inspection settings directly from your IDE.
The string $needle and optional boolean $ignoreCase parameters of the assertContains() and assertNotContains() functions are deprecated and removed in PHPUnit 9. For assertions that operate on strings, the specific assertStringContainsString(), assertStringContainsStringIgnoringCase(), assertStringNotContainsString(), and assertStringNotContainsStringIgnoringCase() methods should be used.
See Usage of the assertEquals function (phpunit.readthedocs.io) for details.
