Bug: API index errors
Problem Statement
An error is appearing in the generated API documentation index. The error message indicates an undefined property in the parser: "Undefined property: Hazaar\Parser\PHP\ParserNamespace::$traits". This error disrupts the proper generation of the API documentation and appears to occur during the evaluation of template code in the Smarty templating engine.
Steps to Reproduce
- Generate the API documentation using Hazaar's documentation generator.
- Open the generated documentation index (e.g., http://localhost:8080/api/home.html#namespaces).
- Observe the error message in the index output:
- Error: Undefined property: Hazaar\Parser\PHP\ParserNamespace::$traits
- File: /app/vendor/hazaar/framework/src/Template/Smarty.php(282) : eval()'d code
- Line: 60
Expected Behavior
- The API documentation index should be generated without errors.
- All relevant properties, including those related to namespaces, should be handled correctly without triggering undefined property errors.
Actual Behavior
- An error is thrown during the generation of the API documentation index due to an attempt to access an undefined property
$traits
on an instance ofHazaar\Parser\PHP\ParserNamespace
. - The error appears in the evaluated code within the Smarty template (line 60 of the eval'd code).
Benefits and Risks
Benefits
- Fixing this issue will ensure the API documentation is generated correctly and completely, improving usability and developer confidence.
- Resolving the error will prevent potential confusion or misinterpretation of the documentation output.
Risks
- Changes to the parser or templating logic may impact other parts of the documentation generator; thorough testing is needed to ensure no regressions occur.
- The underlying issue may require adjustments in how namespace properties are handled across the parser components.
Proposed Solution
- Review the implementation of
Hazaar\Parser\PHP\ParserNamespace
to determine why the$traits
property is not defined. - Update the parser to properly initialize and populate the
$traits
property if it is expected to be present. - Modify the Smarty template logic to handle cases where
$traits
might be undefined, ensuring graceful fallback or omission in the generated output. - Test the changes extensively with namespaces that use traits to confirm the error is resolved.
- Update documentation and error logs to reflect the changes made for future reference.
