PhpStorm Eloquent Helper Code "Property accessed via magic method"

[pxlrbt]

When generating the Eloquent Helper Code via Laravel Idea I always get warnings inside a model referencing the same models properties.

E.g.

The following code will highlight $this->name as "Property accessed via magic method"

class User {
    public function getName()
    {
        return $this->name;
    }
}

When accessing a property from outside the models scope it works fine. E.g. accessing ->name on role inside the User model is fine.

class User {
    public function getRoleName()
    {
        return Role::first()->name;
    }
}

Using laravel-ide-helper with php artisan ide-helper:models -M which generates a @mixin DocBlock also works.

/**
 * @mixin IdeHelperApplicant
 */
class User

Adding the DocBlock directly to the model also works, but is messing up the models code:

/**
 * @property string $name
 */
class User 

Maybe this in an issue with PhpStorm but it would be great to have a workaround (e.g. via the --write-mixin option)

Yes. It's a PhpStorm issue. I created a bug in their YouTrack - https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-54460

I didn't want to add any helper code to the models, but yes... adding a @mixin is probably the only good solution here.

Sure. Ideally PhpStorm team will have a look at this. I just commented their issue to bump it.

Otherwise it would be great if you could add a note about the known issue to the documentation. I thought I misconfigured PhpStorm or Laravel Idea and was searching for the issue for hours.

Sorry for that.

[pxlrbt]

No need to be sorry. It's not your fault. But maybe we can help others to save some time.

[adelf]

Yes. Please don't close. I'll try to add a mixin

The new Eloquent Helper Code Generator from 4.1.1 version released today contains an option about generating needed mixins. Thank you for reporting this! :)

Thank you.

Thanks a lot, laravel-ide-helper is really a life-saver for Laravel developers.
