I'm getting a very strange error

rabol

Hi
I'm gettiing this:
Internal limitation: function 'handle' utilizes too many types and type inferring and code completion might not provide complete results.

What does that mean ?

Kind regards
Steen

rabol Thank you for the question;

We have added this diagnostic PHP6613 to provide information, that the editor can't analyze the entire function. There are too many variables and types.

There is basically nothing wrong with the code itself, only code completion may be incomplete there.

To workaround this warning, you can

ignore the diagnostic PHP6613
or make the function smaller - break it into more smaller functions.

Well... I would say that the tool should be fixed, the function is a absolutely valid and working function.
Sure It's 180 lines, which I agree might seem 'big' 15 of these lines is 'simple' Log calls

There are ₁₅ variables 8 different types, not overwhelming

Not sure if it is related, but I have noticed that the devsense.php.ls is consuming more than 1gb of memory and intelliphp.ls about 650mb of memory IMO quite a lot of resources

JakubMisek

rabol I agree;

180 lines isn't that much but the editor gives up on analyzing types because there are too many of them (maybe a lot of various arrays? We can improve based on the actual code if you're willing to share)
1gb by devsense.php.ls is expected (for "thousands" of .PHP files);
650mb by intelliphp.ls is a lot - what is your OS/CPU? we'll do more profiling. This process provides the inline local-AI completions.

rabol

As far as phpstan there is 768 files, so that IMO does not justify _2gb of memory usage, especially not when simple intellisense does not work at all or very poorly - and I do not want any AI :)

I'm on a Macbook Pro M1 Max 32gb of memory

I'm really sorry to say it but over the last 4-6 month I have seen tha PHPTools has become more and more 'bad' in the sense that more and more 'useless' warnings is showing up and less and less functionality is working. As I just mention, simple property completion on a Laravel model does not work.

let's say I have a this: $user = User::find(1);

First of all I get a warning that $user is a collection then when I do $user-> I do not get the properties of the user object, but a whole lot of methods but not the properties - needless to say but this simple thing works perfectly in e.g. Zed and PhPStorm

I'm sure it is something in my setup, but I only have a bare minimum of extensions installed.
Laravel, tailwind, cspell, alpine, a theme and some icons.

I can share some code, but not really sure how usefull it would be as I use some private repositories, but letr me know and I can share.

This looks like there is an _ide_helper.php (The generated file probably from the ide-helper dev package) (which puts collections and @mixin everywhere), and we simply respect it. Without ide-helper, you should see:

Nevertheless, there must be an issue on our side with your (and probably with most Laravel developers) code base, since we just don't work and other IDEs do :-)

We can arrange a remote desktop session? maybe I'll see what the culprit is.

rabol

JakubMisek Thanks for the insight

I have ensured that I do not have the _ide_helper.php and here is what I get when I hover over the User::find(1);

ide_helper.php is generated by this: package https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper and there is a /vendor/laravel_ide folder that is generated by the Laravel VS code extension.
the /vendor/_laravel_ide does not have all the mixin

Not sure why the codebase of the the app is the 'problem' - My app is a Laravel 10 upgraded to Laravel 11 and soon to Laravel 12. To the best of My knowledge I do my best to maintain the structure of the code base as close to Laravel as possible.

I do believe that I previously have asked for the 'best' setup in VSCode, meaning, what is needed, what to avoid etc.

Sure we can have a session as it would be nice to get to the bottom of this and hopefully it can be a benefit for both of us - and potentially all Laravel developers :)

rabol

I just did a cleanup, meaning i have disabled the Laravel extension, delete /vendor/laravel_ide folder and all related files that could have code 'helpers'

and now I get this:

Even with the cleanup it does not look like your version

I think you have this right now;

::find() itself is like this (it's the documented signature):

But once you add the parameter of type int, we can be more specific and return Builder<User>:

Your structure is definitely correct (and even if it weren't, we should work well with it :) )

Is the CPU or RAM better now?
Do you have any preferred remote-desktop/video-call software? (we can continue on info@devsense.com)
