Call to an undefined method BelongsToMany::withTrashed()

• Laravel Version: 5.7
• PHP Version: 7.2
• Database Driver & Version: MySQL 5.7

Description:

I use relations like this

public function experts()
{
    return $this->belongsToMany(Expert::class, 'app_experts', 'app_id', 'expert_id')
                ->withTrashed();
}

All is ok, but php artisan code:analyse tells me that:
Call to an undefined method Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\BelongsToMany::withTrashed()
What's wrong with it?

If is's important Expert model use SoftDeletes trait.

I'm guessing you're using LaraStan which used to provided that code:analyse artisan command. Might be best to check their first as it sounds like the issue is only related to that and not the behaviour of the code. If you are using LaraStan, try updating the package as they removed that command a while ago and this issue may be fixed in a more current version.

@DrCake, Bytheway IDE doesn't recognize this method too...

That's because the call to withTrashed() is intercepted by the php magic call method and is then called as a scope on the found Expert model. IDE's and static code analysers have a hard time understanding this as they would probably have to actually execute the code to know it works. When exectuted the code should work fine though.

Looks like this was fixed in LaraStan version 0.4.2 by this PR

You might also want to check out the ide-helper package which helps the IDE recognise a lot of the 'magic' in laravel.
