Laravel 8 autocompletion not working for Eloquent ::find and ::where
PHPStorm version: 2021.2
For some reason my workspace for a Laravel 8 project doesn't have the autocompletion working for basic Eloquent builders. I'm trying to use
User::find()
User::where()
These 2 for example are not being autocompleted.
I've read while researching that @mixin Eloquent should have fixed it, but unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I did install barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper
And ran these commands
sail artisan clear-compiled
sail artisan ide-helper:generate
sail artisan ide-helper:meta
sail artisan ide-helper:models
When prompted for models, I picked yes. I have a project running on Laravel 7 and it seems to work fine

Hi there,
Possibly unrelated but... What is Eloquent in "@mixin \Eloquent" line?
From what I know \Eloquent resolves to "class Eloquent extends \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model" (declared in the _ide_helper.php that Laravel IDE Helper generates).
Having such a line there on your screenshot dos not make sense to me sine User is already a child class of Eloquent\Model class... Must be some issue in Laravel IDE Helper code...
Anyway: I normally just add these to eloquent model classes (you may leave only the needed class). May not be the best solution -- not as good as listing specific return types for each method.. but it's much less work and works good enough for my needs.
or like this (which is better if you need to use such class later in the code):
These screenshots show 2 signatures: one from each mixin class.
The above is shown when I manually type the method name. If it needs to be offered by Code Completion popup, then you may need to invoke it twice (Ctrl+Space 2 times; Ctrl+Space is the shortcut for "Code | Code Completion | Basic")
Hello Andriy Bazanov Thank you for the reply.
That mixin Eloquent line is added by the ide-helper, I'm also not entirely sure what is the purpose. I do also get the methods when I type Cmd + Space. But it's weird, I've used Laravel + PHPStorm in the past, and I don't remember I needed to press Cmd + Space. Also the Laravel 7 project doesn't require me to invoke the Cmd + Space. This is frustrating me since I'm always used to seeing the popup for those two methods.
Checked that on "laravel/framework": "^8.65" + "barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper": "^2.10" and it worked fine here:
But that's a fresh project. Please run File > Invalidate Caches ... > turn on Clear file system cache and Local History and Clear downloaded shared indexes, then hit Invalidate and Restart and check the issue after that.
I have the same problem with Laravel v8.75. I tested with intellij version: 2021.2 and 2021.3.
Are you able to share your project somehow?
I solved this issue by going to the Model.php class and removed all mixins except @mixin \Eloquent
