You say that you're trying to get the methods of a trait through reflection - but your code is actually trying to create a closure, that could be called. That is not possible.....traits are only callable once they've been included in a class. It would be a bit like trying to get a closure of an interface....until it's included inside a class it just isn't a real thing that can be called. Calling getMethods on the reflection for the trait does return all the information about a traits methods. If you mean something else by "get its methods" please can you clarify.

Test script: --------------- trait foo { protected $bar; public function set_bar ($bar) { $this->bar = $bar; } } $reflection = new ReflectionClass ("foo"); print_r ($reflection->getMethods ()[0]->getClosure ()); Expected result: ---------------- Closure Object ( [this] => EMPTY (WILD GUESS) [parameter] => Array ( [$bar] => <required> ) ) Actual result: -------------- PHP Warning: ReflectionMethod::getClosure() expects exactly 1 parameter, 0 given ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66010&edit=1
