PHPSTORM: Why do get "method not found in class" all the time ??

Have you tried the Native Laravel Plugin? Also, just to check, have you added the following to your composer.json file? You need to run composer update after as that is what triggers the post-update-cmd to be run. Or you can do it manually, but that is rarely the case.

"scripts":{
    "post-update-cmd": [
        "php artisan clear-compiled",
        "php artisan ide-helper:generate",
        "php artisan optimize"
    ]
},

HI @mstnorris

Thanks for the raoud reply ! I checked my composer file and noticed that "php artisan ide-helper:generate" was missing. However, adding it made no difference.

When you say "native laravel plugin" I'm not sure what you mean. I thought the Barry plugin was the ONE. However searching through Storm's plugin directory I see one from http://espend.de daniel@espendiller.net

Is this what you mean ?

If it is, do I just delete the Barry plugin from the vendor directory and remove the references from the composer file ?

Many thanks !

ps - I used to live near Hertford Town, until I emigrated :o)

I use both (I don't know what the benefit is but it works).

I don't know what your issue is as that should have sorted it.

Have you tried restarting PhpStorm and clearing the caches?

Ok - I cleared the cache and restarted as suggested, nothing changed. The Laravel plugin that you are referencing is built by Daniel Espendiller. I have to browse respositories to find it.

Am I correct in thinking that all I have to do to purge the Barry plugin is just delete it from vendors and the composer file ?

Yes I believe so. That should have sorted it.

Are you using Mac or PC?

Linux Mint on Intel PC ( once was ! )

Can post your Controller code? And the specific error. Also how are you guys posting screen shots?

Thanks.

I don't know how he is doing screen shots. The controller code does not give an error. Rather PHPStorm is giving me a notification. example:

  $data = input::all();

I get a squiggly line under "all" informing me of that the method "all" can not be found.

@vincej & @jimmck take a quick look at some Guidelines for posting on Laracasts.com I wrote, I mention how to include images within posts.

A little secret, it is just the standard HTML img tag ;) You can upload your images to imgur and grab the link from their.

@jimmck You can just use the image tag or markdown

<img src="http://i.imgur.com/XrvFNsU.jpg">

![Alt](http://i.imgur.com/XrvFNsU.jpg)

I've always used google docs and done a share, but they do not show up on the page. only the url ... what gives, what are you doing different ?

@vincej use imgur

1. You upload an image by dragging it onto the page or navigating to it through the file browser
2. Imgur generates some links (it does pre-formatted markdown too!)
3. Paste the code here :D
4. Done.

Thanks ! btw I gave you an award point :o)

cheers !

@vincej Can you provide a little more context? One line of code is vague.

@jimmck Hi, I'm not sure what else I can tell you, they are not errors, just notifications from PHPStorm telling me that it can not find the model when the model is indeed there and working fine. They show up all over your controller when it is referencing a model.

This is a Storm issue not Laravel issue. And I hope that when I install the new plugin suggested by mstnorris all will be fine.

cheers !

So it is inside your controller? Uhm, I have all the plugins installed. You have listed input:all, where as Input is a Facade in app.php and Input::all() is ok in Storm So I have no context, so maybe you have a typo? Best ! Jim! And Thanks Bobby!

Just wondering, although you added the php artisan ide-helper:generate command here:

"scripts":{
    "post-update-cmd": [
        "php artisan clear-compiled",
        "php artisan ide-helper:generate",
        "php artisan optimize"
    ]
},

Did you actually run composer update afterwards?

The post-update-cmd is just that. Those commands run each time you do composer update.

You can of course run it manually from the command line too php artisan ide-helper:generate.

You probably then need to wait until PHPStorm re-indexes your project.

@sitesense Mark ! Yes, of course .. composer update did it .. all the error messages are gone !

sorry ntsnorris, but the award point now goes to sitesense.

Many thanks !

@vincej If you look back I had already mentioned that but don't worry ;)

Guys - I spoke too soon. I was celebrating after a Storm restart when all the Storm advice messages had not yet come up. As soon as I log into the Storm DB I get them all like a disease. Bummer.

Some code would help. It could be a setting? Oh well. Good luck.

@jimmck Here are the two offending code samples which particularly give an error .. but there is nothing functionally wrong. It works, it's just that Storm can not find the associated method. Many thanks !

  if($data['checkboxes']['0'] =='84'){
        Flash::error('You have attempted to delete the crew, "unallocated" This crew is reserved and can not be deleted.');
    }

 $data = input::all();

@vincej have you added your Directories within PhpStorm at all? That can help although the IDE helpers usually solve that. I think there is something else going on.

Your code isn't the culprit here.

@mstnorris

have you added your Directories within PhpStorm at all?

Umm ... I'm a little new to Storm, so .. I have a bad feeling I have not done that. (Embarrassed) What does this mean, where do I do it ?

Everything in PhpStorm is searchable... Oh wait, you already gave the points to SiteSense... Hehe, just kidding.

So, everything is searchable, open up PhpStorm and start typing "Directories" and you will be able to designate what directories are used for what parts of your project so it can give you proper codesense.

As I mentioned above, the IDE helpers usually take care of all of this as I have't had to do this in a long time so it may/may not be worth it.

I'm off to bed now (I said that two hours ago!). G'night and good luck.

I was just going to ask. Go to Settings->Projects->Directories... Make sure to add the Vendor directory and all the subdirs. Click Ok. Close Storm and restart. Also after you update composer do a restart. Storm is not goos at picking up changes.

I am going to try this image thingy...

Well so much for imgur, I have to login! No too busy for yet another login.

I added the vendor directly. There are too many individual sub directories to add them all manually. Didn't do anything for me. what exactly does Storm mean by a "resource root" ?

Make your resource root the laravel public dir. Its for your web stuff. The vendor is so the IDE can reference all the classes.
