Constantly complains "Class 'Redis' not found"

AndyGiroux

The editor seems to knows where the class is because the "Go to Definition" function works but for some reason there is a disconnect with the PHP tool.

I added a use statement for the class, but then it complained that the use statement didn't do anything and was unnecessary. So I'm not really sure what to do about it.

The code also works so it can find the class.

The issue is in a config file where the a constant from the Redis class is being referenced as the default to an env var in the helper function env('SOME_ENV_VAR', Redis::SOME_CONSTANT)

redis is not a standard extension; so it must be enabled.

Use the setting php.stubs or the following command:

So that is selected and I'm still seeing the error unfortunately

AndyGiroux, could you please check the setting php.stubs? It is possible that it is overwritten in your workspace scope.

AndyGiroux

I think don't think it's overwritten in the workspace scope, but I'm not sure what the * is doing. This is what my php.stubs looks like in settings.json for my user. I've removed the settings.json for the workspace that was in the .vscode folder in the workspace root

{
    "php.stubs": [
        "redis",
        "*"
    ]
}

I'm not sure what the * is doing

the "*" is a shortcut for all standard extensions.

The editor seems to knows where the class is because the "Go to Definition"

"PHP Tool" is the editor, so we are probably recognizing it correctly.

Do you have another extension for PHP in VSCode ?

AndyGiroux

Oh man... my bad. Sorry to waste your time! But thanks for the help and quick responses. It's an issue with Laravel Extra Intellisense, which for some reason I was thinking was part of your PHP extension.

AndyGiroux no problem, I'm glad we figured it out!
