Description k4emic 2010-11-05 10:42:10 UTC 
When assigning a variable to the return of a function, the netbeans IDE provides autocompletion. There is one exception though.


In some class: 

class SomeClass {

	function foo() {
		$s = $t = $u = $v = $w = $x = $y = $z = $this->$bar();
	}

	function foo2() {
		$f = $this->$bar();
		$t = $this->$bar();
		$T = $this->$bar();
	}
	
	/**
	 * @return SomeClassReturn
	 */
	function bar() {
		
	}

}

the `$t` (lowercase) variables in the ::foo() and ::foo2() methods will not provide autocompletion even though the other variables do.

If I assign the $t variable directly to the desired object, it will provide autocompletion.

This bug also applies to Netbeans 7.0M1

I'm sorry, but I think that I don't understand what you mean. Where is a return statement which doesn't work? Can you discribe that step by step until the problem occurs? With a highlighted caret position where should autocompletion appear? And can you try to reproduce it in NB 7.0 RC1? Thanks.

Intended behaviour for autocomplete

IDE offers autocompletion on $a (and other) variables
Comment 4 k4emic 2011-04-04 14:06:20 UTC 
I've attached two images, which I hope will make the issue more clear. The screenshots are from 7.0M2, but the issue also appears in the RC1.

$a->[ctrl+space] offers autocompletion according to phpdoc comments
$t->[ctrl+space] does not offer autocompletion according to phpdoc comments

Sample code: (opening and closing tags omitted)

class Bar {

	/**
	 * PHPdoc for getBar()
	 */
	function bar() {
		
	}

	/**
	 * Returns Foo object
	 * @return Foo
	 */
	function getFoo() {
		
	}

}

class Foo {

	function foo() {
		$a = $this->getBar();
		$b = $this->getBar();
		$t = $this->getBar();
		$t2 = $this->getBar();

		$a->// gives autocompletion
		$t->// does not give autocompletion
	}

	/**
	 * @return Bar
	 */
	function getBar() {
		
	}

}
