Description joebezucha 2010-08-26 07:43:55 UTC 
Go to declaration works excellent for me in 6.8

f.e. clicking go to declaration on getCustomers()

$this->getApi('CustomerApi')->getCustomers();

works correct despite the fact that IDE don;t know what type is returned by $this->getApi('CustomerApi').

It was working very similar to "Go to symbol" - suggesting all definition of that method (without checking a class it belongs to)

PHP is not strongly typed as JAVA or C# so without that feature it's sometimes hard to work with the IDE - using 6.9.1 i have to think what IDE can recognize and decide if i should use "Got to declaration" or "Go to symbol"

This bug has created the biggest functionality gap for me in 6.9.1

Is anyone looking at this one yet ?

I agree with melbagnato@netbeans.org.  I reverted back to Netbeans 6.8 after a very short time with 6.9 because of this issue.  Declaration/Symbol navigation is simply much more effective in 6.8 for PHP code.

Nothing new in this area so far:(.
Comment 7 Ondrej Brejla 2012-03-30 08:46:34 UTC 
Still doesn't work. But P4 for me...already 4 releases with new functionality.
