Do you have a use App\User; statement in your routes file?

Level 2

Yes

use App\Address;
use App\User;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;



Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

Route::get('/insert',function(){

    $user = User::findOrFail(1);

    $address = new address(['name'=>'145 maadi']);

    $user->address()->save($address);

    return 'Done';

});

Please post the exact error message and the stacktrace.

Level 24

PhpStorm shows this error in your code? Did you actually run the code by visiting the /insert page?

Have you tried on browser? The fact that method findOrFail is not working on Phpstorm it does not mean that it wont work in real.

I cannot see you using an arrow, you used User::findOrFail Are you showing the right code?

Also in web.php use the full namespace rather than trying to import it.

Route::get('/insert',function(){

    $user = App\User::findOrFail(1);

    $address = new App\Address(['name'=>'145 maadi']);

    $user->address()->save($address);

    return 'Done';

});

@snapey I think he means his IDE (phpstorm) reports the findOrFail method is not found, not that it won't work if executed.

@Viernes Laravel uses lots of magic behind the scenes that a lot of IDE's can't pick up on.

In phpstorm, make sure you have the laravel plugin installed and enabled. Also, this package will help phpstorm find a lot of the magic that the IDE can't figure out: https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper

I know. having Use statements inside web.php is probably confusing it since its not a class
