Does functionName only support functions with namespaces?

Thanks for a good tool.

Does functionName only support functions with namespaces?

I want to detect Laravel request helper defined in the global namespace with the following configuration:

- type: functionName
  value: request

However, no request() is detected.
When I write \request() it is detected.

I am using 2.0.0.beta.

I'm reproduce this issue today (

With

deptrac -V
deptrac 1.0.2-211-g72caeb5

PS: only if calling context (e.g. class) has namespace. In global namespace class function call detected at both cases.
PPS: oops, my problem with function_call analyser, but looks like related bug.

This is a current limitation of PHP. From a currently discussed RFC for PHP: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/global_function_parser_directive:

When calling functions from within a namespace, the parser does not know at compile time if the function is defined in the current namespace or if the global function will be used.

Since deptrac does not run your code, only parses it (similar to "compile"), it has the same limitation. Therefore the only option is to use FQN.
