Description dbell 2011-10-11 01:37:25 UTC 
[ BUILD # : 201110070600 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.26 ]

Usually, when I reference a nonexistent Java method in the editor, a hint
appears with a "Create Method" fix.

e.g.
Person person = ...
String name = getName(person);

If the method getName() with param "person" does not exist, a "Create method
"getName(com.example.Person)" in ..." hint is given.

However, consider this example:
String name = getName(getPerson());

If getName() exists, but getPerson() does not exist, no hint is given to create
getPerson().

This seems to only happen if the call site is an argument to an external static method.

Log: #203476: fuzzy resolving methods should take enclosing elements and static imported elements into account.
Comment 4 Mahene 2014-05-13 20:56:05 UTC 
In Ubuntu 14.04 with Netbeans 8 and JDK 8 this type of code completion doesn't work, e.g.
assertThat(g.width(), is(3));
from a hamcrest test method where width() doesn't exist yet, Netbeans doesn't offer any hint.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
