Magic properties

Created April 25, 2016 17:18

Hi,

I'm trying to use (well known) magic properties via @property. I have abstract class that uses __get and __set to define magic properties. I want these properties to be visible in all classes that extend the abstract parent class. So I declared these properties using @property doc tag in the abstract class, but auto complete in inheriting classes doesn't work. If I copy the phpdoc block - auto complete is working. I don't want to copy all the @property tags in inheritors. Am I missing something?

I have the feeling WI-19598 is different issue. I'm having troubles replicating the issue. I had something like this:

namespace bug;

/**
 * Class ParentClass
 * @package bug
 *
 * @property OtherClassInBug $iExist;
 */
abstract class ParentClass{
 protected $magic = [
 'iExist' => null,
 ];

 function __get($name) {
 return $this->magic[$name];
 }

 function test() {
 echo $this->iExist; // auto-complete works
 }


}

namespace different\namespace;


use bug\ParentClass;

class Inheritor extends ParentClass{
  public function test() {
    $this->iExist; // here auto-complete didn't work
 }

However, I cleared the IDE caches, then restarted and suddenly it started working as expected... Too bad I couldn't repeat it.

BTW, once I paste code directly from the IDE here I can't start writing normal text again. It continues to use "code" formatting
