The intelephense tells me that I have an undefined method which is 'userCoolPosts' from routes/web.php, but as you can see below, the method exists in the User.php from app/Models folder. Upon testing my project, the method is working fine but the error in the console persists.

web.php

Route::get('/', function () {
    $posts = [];
    if (Auth::check()) {
        $posts = Auth::user()->usersCoolPosts()->latest()->get();
    }
    return view('home', ['posts' => $posts]);
});

User.php from app/Models folder

    protected function casts(): array
    {
        return [
            'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
            'password' => 'hashed',
        ];
    }

    public function usersCoolPosts()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Post::class, 'user_id');
    }
}

I did reindex Intelephense (index workspace), and still the error persists.

• I'll just leave this alone, then? Will there be a time that this error will 'magically' disappear? – JukKie-ai Commented 10 hours ago
• 1 Have you tried adding an @var docblock for Auth::user() to type-hint it as a User model? – Matthew Bradley Commented 10 hours ago
• @JukKie-ai: Please check stackoverflow/q/78716482/367456 on how you can extend intelephense for laravel, access the log of intelephense, and if it does not yet resolve the issue for you, edit the question here and add information from the log (please as text, not as image, that is a bad example in the answer over there). – hakre Commented 10 hours ago

Auth::user() returns \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable|null. Which does not have your method.

You can safely ignore this message. Personally I use https://github/barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper Which resolves such issues by rewriting the expected output to your User model.
