Local scopes not working for some models

This is really strange:

in my User.php I have (sample scope):

public static function scopeFirstUser($query) {
      return $query->where('id', 1);
}

I tried with/without static; the result is the same.

When I try \App\User::firstUser()->get() I get this error:

(1/1) BadMethodCallException
Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::firstUser()

But when I copy the scope function to another model like Order.php, \App\Order::firstUser()->get()works fine!!!

Hello -

Local scope methods shouldn't be static:

public function scopeFirstUser($query)
{
      return $query->where('id', 1);
}

@IgorBabko Thanks for your reply. tested both but the result is the same. The strange thing is that this very method works in another model!

same problem, but when preceded the scope with query it works, so try

\App\User::query()->firstUser()->get()

This should be highlighted in the documentation.
