Cannot declare interface Stringable, because the name is already in use

Can you paste your composer file and steps to reproduce the error?

[nicrodgers]

It's on a project with a pretty huge composer file. I'll see if I can create an example with a minimal amount of projects required.

Here we go - was easier than I thought :)

composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "mglaman/drupal-check": "^1.1",
        "phpro/grumphp-shim": "^0.19.0"
    }
}

steps to reproduce:

• composer install

result:
PHP warning is displayed
Warning: Cannot declare interface Stringable, because the name is already in use in phar:///Volumes/www/sandbox/grumphp/vendor/phpstan/phpstan/phpstan.phar/vendor/symfony/polyfill-php80/Resources/stubs/Stringable.php on line 12

Maybe I need to a file a bug on the PHPStan project instead? Let me know what you think. Thanks.

It looks more like a PHPStan issue:

First it makes sure composer always loads the phpstan bootstrap file:
https://github.com/phpstan/phpstan/blob/master/composer.json#L21

Next, it registers an autoloader that only works inside phars (which grumphp-shim is)
https://github.com/phpstan/phpstan/blob/master/bootstrap.php
This is most likely under the assumption that it only runs for phpstan?

The phpstan package also contain the php-80 stubs, so that is why you are seeing the Warning. It is indeed not blocking, but still a bit strange.

GrumPHP will always try to load the project specific autoloader to make sure local classes can be loaded as well.

Thanks for looking in to this and providing such comprehensive feedback so quickly! I'll raise an issue with the phpstan team.
