PhpStorm，Laravel和自动完成

Question

I have a method run() in TreeGen class:

class TreeGen implements TreeGenerable{

 public function run()
 {
     ...
     $this->pushEmptyGroupsToTree($numFighters);
     ...
 }
}

Thing is $this could be one of the 4 Subclasses of tree gen, and all those method implement different versions of pushEmptyGroupsToTree.

But PhpStorm is only looking for pushEmptyGroupsToTree in TreeGen class and off course, I don't have it defined in the super class, so it doesn't detect it.

Is there a way to make him recognize subclass methods?

Answer 1

IDE behaves correctly. You either need to declare this class abstract, or declare abstract method here or in superclass.

UPDATE

Method run of TreeGen could be called from instance of Treegen

$treeGen = new TreeGen;
$treeGen->run();

and that will cause Call to undefined method error.

If TreeGen is not supposed to be called directly it should be abstract.
