intellisense and derived/nested classes

Posted March 21st, 2008 by jdsmith2816

Question, why does the following code's intellisense not work as I would expect?

class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
  public function indexAction()
  {
    $this->view->assign('title', 'Hello World!');
  }
}

I added Zend/Controller/Action.php as a user reference and I get intellisense on it, when I type $this-> view is in the list.. when I type $this->view-> there is nothing; it's as if the intellisense only goes one level deep or something? This happens in all cases, not just this contrived example. Am I doing something wrong?

Best regards,

    For this to work there needs to be a PhpDoc comment to tell that view is of the specific type. Is that the case on Zend/Controller/Action.php?

    /** * View object

    /**
    * View object
    * @var Zend_View_Interface
    */
    public $view;

    So it appears that the class does indeed have an entry for the $view object in the phpdoc so shouldn't $this->view-> then have intellisense? Zend_View_Interface is in my References list

    Yes, as long as

    Yes, as long as Zend_View_Interface is available in intellisense via one of the following:

    - Defined in this file
    - Include via require or include statements
    - Included via user references

    That's my point... it's not

    That's my point... it's not working; I have added it as a reference. Same problem exists in my other post in this forum relating to ZF.

    Do you have an example of that PHPDoc code? For example where would it go? Do you use @return or @property or something else? Thanks.

    This is a very simple tutorial on PhpDoc:

    Let me know if it answers your question.

    I have the same issue, but

    I have the same issue, but not only nested items. I have for example:

    /**
    * Current Test
    * @var TestResponse;
    */
    private $curtest;

    but within a member function $this->curtest-> provides no intellisense.

    CLARIFICATION:

    I just realized if I begin typing a method of TestResponse after $this->curtest-> I do begin to get an intellisense list, but it doesn't come up on its own, and ctrl+space gives me a generic list.
