I'm using the code below in a WordPress plugin project. VS Code is giving me an error that says:
Method 'Acorn\UI\Mobile\MenuWalker::start_lvl()' is not compatible with method 'Walker_Nav_Menu::start_lvl()'.intelephense(1038)
Here's the code snippet that's generating the error (first part of function only):
namespace Acorn\UI\Mobile;
class MenuWalker extends \Walker_Nav_Menu {
private int $depth = 0;
public function start_lvl(
string &$output,
int $depth = 0,
\stdClass $args = []
) {
$this->_set_depth( $depth );
$output .=
$this->_dump( '<start_lvl />' ) .
$this->_dump( $args )
;
}
UPDATE I followed @Spoody's advice and changed the function to this:
namespace Acorn\UI\Mobile;
class MenuWalker extends \Walker_Nav_Menu {
private int $depth = 0;
public function start_lvl( &$output, $depth = 0, \stdClass $args = [] ) {
$this->_set_depth( (int) $depth );
$output .=
$this->_dump( '<start_lvl />' ) .
$this->_dump( $args )
;
}
...but I still receive the same error. Any other ideas?
MORE DETAILS At @M. Eriksson's request, here's the entire class:

You are using types in your start_lvl()
's parameters but \Walker_Nav_menu
is not.
From the source code
/**
* Starts the list before the elements are added.
*
* @since 3.0.0
*
* @see Walker::start_lvl()
*
* @param string $output Used to append additional content (passed by reference).
* @param int $depth Depth of menu item. Used for padding.
* @param stdClass $args An object of wp_nav_menu() arguments.
*/
public function start_lvl( &$output, $depth = 0, $args = null )
You need to remove types from your method's parameters
