Intellisense Broken

JohnWhiteman

Hi,

I have updated to the latest version (1.84.20575) and it seems to have broken intellisense again.

It's quite frustrating that this has happened to me a few times now when updating to the latest version.

Is there a way of getting to the root cause, or is there some button you can create that I can run that will do a check of all settings, reset any caches or whatever is required to restore functionality?

FYI, I have reverted to version PHP.VS.1.83.20414.2022 and the Intellisense works again.

Regards,

John

JohnWhiteman Thank you for reporting this. We'll try to fix it asap and avoid a similar issue in future.

JohnWhiteman I think there is a corrupted cache, the autocomplete should work in 1.84 and composer package "filament/tables": "^2.17" correctly:

Please try to delete the following directory, and re-load your project:

%localappdata%\DEVSENSE\packages-cache

If it solves the issue, we'll try to fix it within the next update.

Hello Jakub,

Unfortunately that didn't work.

JakubMisek

JohnWhiteman even after reloading the project?

Do you have a tooltip over ::make( ? or tooltip over TextColumn ?

JohnWhiteman

Sorry,

I don't have the time to reinstall the plug-in to try again and then revert to the old one.

All I can tell you is that the 1.83.20414 version works and the latest doesn't for some reason.

What do you mean by 'reloading the project'? I am currently just installing the new version and opening the project as normal.

Is there something else I need to do?

JakubMisek

JohnWhiteman I understand, I appreciate the information.

Add re-loading - just closing and opening the Solution or Visual Studio.

I'll do more tests hopefully reproducing the issue.

JohnWhiteman

Let me know if you need the code base or if you want to connect to my PC for zoom etc.
You have my email address to contact me directly. Cheers

Re: re-loading...

When I install/uninstall the extension, Visual Studio always needs to exit to do it, so I guess it has been reloading?

Anyway, just FYI, cheers :)

JakubMisek

JohnWhiteman Thank you, John. I appreciate it. I'll try to reproduce the issue locally, and if I'm hopeless, I'd be happy to contact you via email.

Yes, exiting VS counts as a reload :) Anyways; deleting that folder should fix the issue - I'm still looking at it.

Does updating to 1.85 (https://www.devsense.com/en/download) fix the issue?

We're also preparing update 1.86 which fixes related issues.

Hi Jakob,

Thanks for the update.

Unfortunately it is still not working and appears worse.

1) When trying to type 'Action' (capital 'A'), it incorrectly selects lowercase 'action' when pressing tab to auto-complete.

2) Intellisense is not listing the correct members.

3) The original problem is still there.

FYI the forum software you're using minimises the reply each time I paste an image into it, which is quite frustrating.

JohnWhiteman thank you for the screenshots.

I'm not sure what is happening here, because in all cases, we have the correct results:

I have an empty project with "filament/tables": "^2.17" composer package.

Do you see the correct information in mouse tool-tips?

Because from your screenshot, it looks like there are more different definitions of the "Filament\Tables\Actions\Action" class.

JohnWhiteman

Hi,

Thanks for the fast response.

I tried it with other classes not just actions, such as tables etc.

The strange thing is the very same codebase works with the older version of your extension.

I was thinking perhaps it's something to do with the version of some other helper you're relying on like ide-helper or something else?

Do you want to get a copy of my source code so you can test locally and see what it could be? If so, just email me or message me on discord: *******

Kind regards,

John

JakubMisek

JohnWhiteman, thank you John.

I've sent the request on Discord. We did some changes to the handling of ide-helper files and laravel package, so that may be it.

JakubMisek

Update:

the issue is caused by phpstorm.meta.php file which we handled slightly incorrectly - fix is on the way.
pre-select of completion list will be also updated to respect the upper-case character (e.g. when typing Action)
