__CLASS__will return the name of the class in which the trait is being used (!) not the class in which trait method is being called:
<?php
trait TestTrait {
public function testMethod() {
echo "Class: " . __CLASS__ . PHP_EOL;
echo "Trait: " . __TRAIT__ . PHP_EOL;
}
}
class BaseClass {
use TestTrait;
}
class TestClass extends BaseClass {
}
$t = new TestClass();
$t->testMethod();
//Class: BaseClass
//Trait: TestTrait
