The latest release seems to not want you to give a class element both a Php type and a doc-block type. I used the "fix" operand to delete the redundant doc-block declarations, with no other changes. So there should be no change to executable code.
While we might never be able to have 100% of our code strict, we can at
the very least do it for all of our tests. This ensures that our tests
are using our API with the types as intended by the test author, and not
silently be cast to what our API requires.
And quite a bit more manual changes. The idea is that typing of our
tests can be a bit more loose, so we assume PHPDoc is mostly correct. If
that happens to be wrong, it should be caught by the tests themselves.
* Fix Unintential Deprecated Calls in Tests - FINANCIAL
I think it's best to install these before PR #3166. There are no changes to source code, only to doc-blocks and to test members which continue to inadvertently use calls to deprecated functions.
* Change Tests to Run in Spreadsheet Context
Found and fixed some problems with how MIRR handles errors.
* Refinement for XIRR
Fix#2469. The algorithm used for XIRR is known not to converge in some cases, some of which are because the value is legitimately unsolvable; for others, using a different guess might help.
The algorithm uses continual guesses at a rate to hopefully converge on the solution. The code in Python package xirr (https://github.com/tarioch/xirr/) suggests a refinement when this rate falls below -1. Adopting this refinement solves the problem for the data in issue 2469 without any adverse effect on the existing tests. My thanks to @tarioch for that refinement.
The data from 2469 is, of course, added to the test cases. The user also mentions that an initial guess equal to the actual result doesn't converge either. A test is also added to confirm that that case now works.
The test cases are changed to run in the context of a spreadsheet rather than by direct calls to XIRR calculation routine. This revealed some data validation errors which are also cleaned up with this PR. This suggests that other financial tests might benefit from the same change; I will look into that.
* More Unit Tests
From https://github.com/RayDeCampo/java-xirr/blob/master/src/test/java/org/decampo/xirr/XirrTest.javahttps://github.com/tarioch/xirr/blob/master/tests/test_math.py
Note that there are some cases where the PHP tests do not converge, but the non-PHP tests do. I have confirmed in each of those cases that Excel does not converge, so the PhpSpreadsheet results are good, at least for now. The discrepancies are noted in comments in the test member.
