[PHP8.3] "final public const string JOURNEY" leads to "Class constants must be uppercase"

[ralusnom]

Description

In IntelliJ IDEA phpcs, incorrectly flags valid PHP code as an warning. Specifically, it misinterprets the type of class constants. For example, declaring a constant like final public const string JOURNEY; results in an error message from PHP CS Fixer stating

"phpcs: Class constants must be uppercase; expected STRING but found string".

It seems that PHP CS Fixer is incorrectly checking the type declaration (string) instead of the constant name (JOURNEY).

Runtime version

PHP CS Fixer v3.40.2, when used with PHP 8.3

Code snippet that reproduces the problem

<?php
// Erroneous code snippet
final public const string JOURNEY;

Closing as reported to the wrong project. CS-Fixer !== PHP_CodeSniffer.

@jrfnl actually reported in the correct project, only reported wrongly, see the error message.

@kubawerlos In that case, still closed correctly as the issues sounds like a duplicate of #3927. Please search before opening a new issue (and don't open issues in this repo anymore - see #3932)

FYI: a fix for this issue is included in today's PHP_CodeSniffer 3.9.0 release.

As per #3932, development on PHP_CodeSniffer will continue in the PHPCSStandards/PHP_CodeSniffer repository. If you want to stay informed, you may want to start "watching" that repo (or watching releases from that repo).
