Auth::user return type porblem with Intelephense

[hfdzz]

Auth::user() method causes warning with Intelephense if you have own (extending) UserEntity due to type error and prevent typehinting. Is it possible to change the return type without changing the system file directly?

[kenjis]

Don't you extend CodeIgniter\Shield\Entities\User?

[hfdzz]

Yes. Everything works fine but a minor inconvenience. I change the return type on the PHPDoc as work around.

To clarify, it's an error not a warning, Intelephense gives Undefined method 'myUserMethod'.intelephense(P1013) Error on custom UserEntity method. Maybe it's just the intelephense? (PHP Intelephense for vscode)

I got your situation.
Intelephense is no problem. Because Auth::user() return type is User not your extended UserEntity.
User does not have the myUserMethod() method.

1. Extend the Auth class and change the return type, and use it in your app.
2. Specify the return value type of Auth::user() manually.

/** @var UserEntity $user */
$user = Auth::user();

I have the same problem with PHPStan. Could you elaborate on how to extend the Auth class?

For now i have this in place:

ignoreErrors:
    - '#^Call to an undefined method CodeIgniter\\Shield\\Entities\\User\:\:getGesellschafterId\(\)\.$#'

[hfdzz]

You create your own Auth class which extend Shield\Auth class then you specify the Auth::user() return type as kenjis said.

/** @var UserEntity $user */
$user = Auth::user();

but then you have to change all the auth class you use, i believe including one from helper function, so i end up just ignoring the error

Select 1. or 2. You don't need to do both.
