[Bug]: Some model attributes are not "found"

[smares]

Bug description

First of all, my current codebase has no migrations, but one MySQL schema file.

I have a handful of models that trigger issues in PhpStorm with the error Property accessed via magic method and the generated helper class does not contain said properties.

For example, the MySQL schema defines it at

`access_token_expires_at` timestamp NULL DEFAULT NULL

the model's casts method has 'access_token_expires_at' => 'datetime', the model's $fillable property lists, yet the property is not "found" by Laravel Idea (the helper class does not have access_token_expires_at as property at all).

In a another model, I have this similar issue with my paid_at property.

Finally, in another model, I have a relation defined as

public function ownedSources(): BelongsToMany
{
    return $this->belongsToMany(Source::class)
        ->withPivot('custom_name')
        ->withTimestamps();
}

and the helper even has

* @property _IH_Source_C|Source[] $ownedSources
* @property-read int $owned_sources_count
* @method BelongsToMany|_IH_Source_QB ownedSources()

yet when I tell PhpStorm to analyze my source code, it tells me again Property accessed via magic method.

Any idea?

Hello, Sebastian.

So, Laravel Idea finds almost all fields, except some of them, right?

Also, could you share the code samples with warning about ownedSources(Property accessed via magic method)?

Exactly, yes.

Also, could you share the code samples with warning about ownedSources(Property accessed via magic method)?

Here are two examples. For Team.php PhpStorm complains that both ownedSources and receivedSources are accessed via magic method.

Also tried to invalidate caches in PhpStorm, but no luck.

1. I couldn't reproduce the error with the field. Could you share a minimum reproducible example of "create table" SQL and the model class?
2. It's a known issue. There are 2 model classes in the project. Outside of the classes, PhpStorm sees both of them and calculates fields correctly. But inside the model class, it optimizes the field fetching and fetches only current class fields(doesn't try to find a helper model class). Laravel Idea suppresses this warning in the editor, but it looks like it isn't suppressed when you call the "Analyze" command. We will try to fix that too.

Here's an example with my Invoice model where paid_at is not found in the isPaid method:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use App\Casts\AsMoney;
use Database\Factories\InvoiceFactory;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Database\Eloquent\Builder as BuilderContract;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Attributes\Fillable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Casts\AsUri;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Date;

#[Fillable(['fastbill_invoice_id', 'subtotal', 'document_url', 'due_at', 'paid_at'])]
class Invoice extends Model
{
    /** @use HasFactory<InvoiceFactory> */
    use HasFactory;
    use SoftDeletes;

    public function isPaid(): bool
    {
        return null !== $this->paid_at && now() >= $this->paid_at;
    }

    /**
     * Get the attributes that should be cast.
     */
    protected function casts(): array
    {
        return [
            'billing_account_id' => 'integer',
            'subtotal' => AsMoney::class,
            'document_url' => AsUri::class,
            'due_at' => 'date',
            'paid_at' => 'datetime',
        ];
    }

    protected function scopeDue(BuilderContract $query): BuilderContract
    {
        return $query->where('due_at', '<=', Date::today())->whereNull('paid_at');
    }
}

And this is the SQL:

CREATE TABLE `invoices` (
  `id` bigint unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `billing_account_id` bigint unsigned DEFAULT NULL,
  `fastbill_invoice_id` varchar(255) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `subtotal` decimal(8,2) NOT NULL,
  `document_url` text CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `due_at` date DEFAULT NULL,
  `paid_at` timestamp NULL DEFAULT NULL,
  `created_at` timestamp NULL DEFAULT NULL,
  `updated_at` timestamp NULL DEFAULT NULL,
  `deleted_at` timestamp NULL DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `invoices_billing_account_id_foreign` (`billing_account_id`),
  KEY `invoices_fastbill_invoice_id_index` (`fastbill_invoice_id`),
  KEY `invoices_due_at_index` (`due_at`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

Both the model and the SQL do not contain the relations / constraints I have to other entities.
