Trait methods not inferred correctly

[gremo]

I'm using EasyAdmin which fileds are defined like this (example TextField):

final class TextField implements FieldInterface
{
    use FieldTrait;

   // ....
}

FieldInterface has basically only the new static function while importat methods are in the FieldTrait itself.

It seems that trait methods not inferred correctly. Is that a problem of the PHP language server itself or the VSCode extension itself?

Thank you for the test case.

Is your new method the same as in the example? The error suggests that your new() method returns FieldInterface instead of self or static.

For me, I'm getting it as expected:

To be sure, there is no issue with cache, you can try the following command from VSCode's Command Palette (F1):

Clear /vendor/ cache ...

[gremo]

@jakubmisek I've cleared the cache as you suggested and nothing changed.

For the, the new method returns self. I can see you're using EA as well. Can you confirm whether this is an issue on my side?

[jakubmisek]

Thank you for the quick reply.

I can reproduce your issue by removing static function new() from the TextField class:

Where is your new() method defined? It looks like, in your case, the editor sees the wrong new() method inside the FieldInterface interface.

[gremo]

@jakubmisek the new method is defined in the TextField itself: https://github.com/EasyCorp/EasyAdminBundle/blob/4.x/src/Field/TextField.php

And yes... in my case the new is from the TextField not from the interface. For all fields.. do you know why?

[jakubmisek]

@gremo hm, that's what I have:

Do you have the latest version of the PHP extension (1.62.18042)?

[gremo]

Same version 1.62.18042 updated 1 day ago. For EA, latest version too:

/app# composer show easycorp/easyadmin-bundle
name     : easycorp/easyadmin-bundle
descrip. : Admin generator for Symfony applications
keywords : admin, backend, generator
versions : * v4.26.5
released : 2025-10-19, 2 weeks ago

Mine:

Could be my extension configuration?

  "php.completion.autoimport-docblock": "fqn",
  "php.completion.docblock": false,
  "php.format.codeStyle": "Off",
  "php.inlayHints.parameters.enabled": false,
  "php.inlayHints.types.return": false,
  "php.suggest.basic": false,
  "php.validate.enable": false,
  "php.version": "${containerEnv:PHP_VERSION}",

[jakubmisek]

Thank you, that looks alright.

1/ I'm thinking - isn't there some generated "ide_helper.php" (or similar) file with its own class TextField declaration?

2/ quick test - the return type of new() should be resolved to FieldText:

[gremo]

I don't know where to look for that file but no ide_helper exists in my project, that's sure. For extra security i've just rm -rf vendor/* && composer install plus cache clear and vscode reload, as you said before 👍

Quick test failed... for me, it's still an interface 😢

[jakubmisek]

That's weird!

Try searching for "class TextField" across your workspace, if there isn's more than one.

Eventually, I can remote-desktop to you to check if I can see something suspicious.

[gremo]

Don't think there is more than one:

Sure if you want to take a look let me know how can i send u a AnyDesk id 👍 thanks

[jakubmisek]

If it doesn't bother you on Sunday :) I'm ready.

I've sent you an email.

[jakubmisek]

There is a pre-release 1.62.18056 which fixes the issue. Thank you for your help!

If there is anything else, please start a new issue.

[gremo]

@jakubmisek thanks seems to work just fine... waiting for the updated final version, as the extension runs in a VSCode dev container and gets resetted to the old version as soon as I rebuild!
