Visual Studio Code PHP Intelephense Keep Showing Not Necessary Error
Intelephense 1.3 added undefined type, function, constant, class constant, method, and property diagnostics, where previously in 1.2 there was only undefined variable diagnostics.
Some frameworks are written in a way that provide convenient shortcuts for the user but make it difficult for static analysis engines to discover symbols that are available at runtime.
Stub generators like https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper help fill the gap here and using this with Laravel will take care of many of the false diagnostics by providing concrete definitions of symbols that can be easily discovered.
Still, PHP is a very flexible language and there may be other instances of false undefined symbols depending on how code is written. For this reason, since 1.3.3, intelephense has config options to enable/disable each category of undefined symbol to suit the workspace and coding style.
These options are:
intelephense.diagnostics.undefinedTypes
intelephense.diagnostics.undefinedFunctions
intelephense.diagnostics.undefinedConstants
intelephense.diagnostics.undefinedClassConstants
intelephense.diagnostics.undefinedMethods
intelephense.diagnostics.undefinedProperties
intelephense.diagnostics.undefinedVariables
Setting all of these to false except intelephense.diagnostics.undefinedVariables will give version 1.2 behaviour. See the VSCode settings UI and search for intelephense.
Version 1.3.0 has flaw IMO.
Downgrade to version 1.2.3 fixes my problem.
I'm on
- Laravel 5.1
- PHP 5.6.40
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
Warning Disappeared after importing the corresponding namespace.
Version's
- Larvel 6+
- vscode version 1.40.2
- php intelephense 1.3.1
You don't need to downgrade you can:
Either disable undefined symbol diagnostics in the settings -- "intelephense.diagnostics.undefinedSymbols": false .
Or use an ide helper that adds stubs for laravel facades. See https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper
