Bug: Prettier will remove parenthesis around new objects calling a function

[gmitch215]

If I have a line like so:

$timestamp = (new DateTimeImmutable())->format(DATE_ATOM);

Prettier will reformat it as:

$timestamp = new DateTimeImmutable()->format(DATE_ATOM)

which is not valid PHP code.

fwiw it's valid in PHP 8.4 : https://3v4l.org/MtjXX

@nicoder thx, tho I'm on PHP 8.3 for some projects, would appreciate it if this rule could be disabled based on php.version in settings.json

I'm having the same problem.

Before:

return (new View) [...]

After:

return new View() [...]

Running PHP 8.2 so won't help if it would work on PHP 8.4.

Thanks for the bug report @gmitch215! Contributions welcome :-)

Are you correctly setting your PHP version in your .prettierrc.json and/or composer.json? The code that updates this does check for PHP 8.4 first...
