Description:

Can not generate Carbon::macro PHPDocs.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Set Carbon macro

use Illuminate\Support\Carbon;

// in AppServiceProvider.php
public function boot()
{
     Carbon::macro('sayHello', function () : string {
            return 'hello';
     });
}

2. Regenerate PHPDocs run php artisan ide-helper:generate

3. Not found Carbon::sayHello in _ide_helper.php

Same here:

Versions

• ide-helper Version: 2.8.1
• Laravel Version: 6.18.40
• PHP Version: 7.4

// app/Providers/CarbonServiceProvider.php
use Illuminate\Support\Carbon;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class CarbonServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    ...

    public function boot()
    {
        Carbon::macro('startOfLatest15Min', static function () {
            $minutes = floor(self::this()->minute / 15) * 15;
            return self::this()->startOfHour()->minutes($minutes);
        });
    }
}

// config/app.php
return [
    'providers' => [
        App\Providers\CarbonServiceProvider::class,
        ...
    ],
];

Can't find Carbon::startOfLatest15Min in _ide_helper.php

Any news on this?

Just coming here to report the same thing.

What makes the Carbon Macros so different from other macros that DO get parsed by the ide-helper?

[ordago]

@jonnywilliamson the ide helper checks that the macros are for classes that have the Illuminate\Support\Traits\Macroable trait.
