code completion using @var not working

[cmpscabral]

Hi,

I'm using /* @var $view Zend_View */ to get code completion on vars created with factory classes but it's not working.

Am I'm missing something?

Thanks

Please tell us what exact version of NB you are using and provide
complete example of code with marked caret position at the time you are
calling code completion.

Also you may wanna try

/** @var $view Zend_View */

Tomasz,

I tried /** but didn't work either. Here's my details:

Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.7.1 (Build 200907230233)
Java: 1.6.0_16; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 14.2-b01
System: Linux version 2.6.28-15-generic running on amd64; UTF-8; en_US (nb)

here's a sample of my code:

/** @var $view Zend_View */
$view=getView();
$view->(this is where I hit ctrl+space and get "no suggestions")

thanks

Hi,

the right form for defining a variable type in comment is what you wrote
at fits time. See
http://blogs.sun.com/netbeansphp/entry/defining_a_variable_type_in

This works for me. Is the class Zend_View on the project path? Is it
available in your project?

Regards,
Petr

I got it . This looks like a bug.

I think that the function assignment replace the type of the variable.
In this case NetBeans are not able to find out for the function
getView() the return type. The solution for you can be simple. Just move
one line down the comment variable type definition.

$view=getView();
/** @var $view Zend_View */
$view->(this is where I hit ctrl+space and get "no suggestions")

Does it work for you?

Regards,
Petr

Petr,

It's working, thanks

One last question: if getView() had a return type in its definition/comments would this be unnecessary?

[Tomasz Slota]

Yes, it would be good idea to use the @return tag in getView()'s PHPDoc
to indicate the return type.
