I want to switch to laravel 5, but have some trouble with ide - autocompletion. I'm using phpstorm. In google, the answers always end up with suggesting to use https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper . But it seems like it is broken for Laravel 5.
The steps I am doing are:
Install Laravel 5
composer create-project laravel/laravel
Require ide-helper
composer require barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper
Added 'Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider',
.... 'Illuminate\Translation\TranslationServiceProvider', 'Illuminate\Validation\ValidationServiceProvider', 'Illuminate\View\ViewServiceProvider', 'Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider',
Trying to generate the helper file
artisan ide-helper:generate
But it always breaks with following error:
exception 'InvalidArgumentException' with message 'There are no commands defined in the "ide-helper" namespace.' in C:\xampp\htdocs\test\vendor\symfony\console\Symfony\Component\Console\Application.php:501
0 C:\xampp\htdocs\test\vendor\symfony\console\Symfony\Component\Console\Application.php(535): Symfony\Component\Console\Application->findNamespace('ide-helper')

t\ConsoleOutput))

put\ConsoleOutput))
4 C:\xampp\htdocs\test\artisan(36): Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel->handle(Object(Symfony\Component\Console\Input\ArgvInput), Object(Symfony\Component\Console\Output\ConsoleOutput))
5 {main}
Maybe someone had the same issue and can help me. I'm open for different solutions for autocompletion other than barryvdh's ide-helper.
