Call to unknown method

darkdog

When working with Laravel there's a few instances of Call to unknown method that can be a bit annoying.

For example, calling $this->app->isProduction() in app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php gives:

Call to unknown method: Illuminate\Contracts\Foundation\Application::isProduction()PHP(PHP0418)

Same with any $this-> calls inside tests/ when using Pest, for example $this->assertAuthenticated(); or any other call.

Would love for these instances to get fixed.

darkdog Thank you for reporting the issues.

the $app annotation in ServiceProvider has incorrect or misleading type, stating it's \Illuminate\Contracts\Foundation\Application while it's Illuminate\Foundation\Application. This causes the editor to report the warning (correctly).
the pest tests have misleading type annotation as well, causing the issue with member methods on $this (https://github.com/DEVSENSE/phptools-docs/issues/918#issuecomment-3263819515)

Both are the issues in the the source code of respective packages;

You can workaround those issues by adding a dummy .php file with fake definitions anywhere in your workspace, for example /ide-helpers.php:

<?php

namespace Illuminate\Contracts\Foundation {
    /** @mixin \Illuminate\Foundation\Application */
    interface Application {}
}

namespace PHPUnit\Framework {
    /** @mixin \Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\TestCase */
    interface TestCase {}
}
