UnusedFormalParameter
Since: 0.2
Avoid passing parameters to methods or constructors and then not using those parameters.
Example
class Foo
{
private function bar($howdy)
{
// $howdy is not used
}
}

Avoid using empty try-catch blocks in customTranslations. Open
} catch (\Exception $e) {

EmptyCatchBlock
Since: 2.7.0
Usually empty try-catch is a bad idea because you are silently swallowing an error condition and then continuing execution. Occasionally this may be the right thing to do, but often it's a sign that a developer saw an exception, didn't know what to do about it, and so used an empty catch to silence the problem.
Example
class Foo {
public function bar()
{
try {
// ...
} catch (Exception $e) {} // empty catch block
}
}

Avoid using static access to class '\Fisharebest\Webtrees\View' in method 'boot'. Open
View::registerNamespace($this->name(), $this->resourcesFolder() . 'views/');

StaticAccess
Since: 1.4.0
Static access causes unexchangeable dependencies to other classes and leads to hard to test code. Avoid using static access at all costs and instead inject dependencies through the constructor. The only case when static access is acceptable is when used for factory methods.
Example
class Foo
{
public function bar()
{
Bar::baz();
}
}

The method moduleCssUrl uses an else expression. Else clauses are basically not necessary and you can simplify the code by not using them. Open
} else {
return $this->assetUrl('css/default.min.css');
}

ElseExpression
Since: 1.4.0
An if expression with an else branch is basically not necessary. You can rewrite the conditions in a way that the else clause is not necessary and the code becomes simpler to read. To achieve this, use early return statements, though you may need to split the code it several smaller methods. For very simple assignments you could also use the ternary operations.
Example
class Foo
{
public function bar($flag)
{
if ($flag) {
// one branch
} else {
// another branch
}
}
}
