[Bug]: Breaks "Laravel goto view" extension

[addtobag]

Extension Version

0.1.14

PHP Binary

Herd

Operating System

macOS

What happened?

Once installed, the Laravel goto view (https://github.com/codingyu/laravel-goto-view) breaks. Keeps asking to create the view file rather than opening it the file that already exists.

@addtobag I believe you can disable the Laravel Goto View extension, as the Laravel extension should be able do this for you going forward. I just tested this in a controller, and it takes me directly to the view using only the Laravel extension (and the goto extension disabled).

@mikebronner for me, Laravel extension links directly to blade view only in .php files such as controllers, livewire component classes etc.

But not in blade files so I can't disable goto view extension. For example:

Without goto view extension:

With goto view extension:

@N1ebieski gotcha, I thought you had trouble getting to the view from php, instead the issue seems to be with loading blade component views. Thanks for clarifying.

I'm not an author this issue. I just wanted to point out that I (and probably other users) can't disable the "go to view" extension as you suggest.

I use this goto component extension alongside the Laravel extension and it works: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ctf0.laravel-goto-component, perhaps this will help others also facing this issue.

Hi Mike, thanks for the response. With GoTo view extension disabled, i have the same issue. If i create the file, it then creates it within the application folder structure but using my local folder directories e.g.

To summarize:

• This extension is conflicting with goto view, not much I can do there, but you are able to turn off the individual features of this extension as you need to (search for "view" in settings and uncheck conflicting items)
• We are otherwise having an issue with missing views created in the wrong directory, is that correct @addtobag? Even with the other extensions disabled?

Hi, I have disabled all Laravel extensions and only kept the official one.
When I try to open a Livewire view file, the extension creates a new file on the C drive (kept Linux catalog structure /var/ww/....) instead of in WSL2.

Hi @joetannenbaum

I’ve disabled all Laravel-related extensions, restarted, and reinstalled the official Laravel extension. However, like @vmind, when I click on a view (whether within a Livewire component or a Controller), it prompts me to create the file instead of navigating to the correct one.

Surely this must be a configuration issue? As mentioned in my previous message, it’s creating the file and folder structure within the project.

Thanks,
Ross

Hi everyone,

I encountered the same issue with the "follow links" configuration, but it only occurred in a project where I hadn't updated Laravel yet.

After some debugging, I discovered that in earlier versions of Laravel, config_path('/') would return a path with double slashes. Here's an example:

> config_path('/');
> "/Users/mypc/code/config//"

> config_path('app.php');
> "/Users/mypc/code/config/app.php"

> config_path('/app.php');
> "/Users/mypc/code/config//app.php"

> config_path();
> "/Users/mypc/code/config"

> base_path('/');
> "/Users/mypc/code//"

> base_path();
> "/Users/mypc/code"

The extra slashes were causing the "follow link" issue.

It's true that the goto function from the official extension does NOT work in older projects (Laravel 8)... I know it does work in Laravel 10!

In this screenshot, you can see both links—the one at the top is from the official extension, and the one at the bottom is from Laravel Goto View...

Only the goto link works in Laravel 8 projects!!

Notice that the file name does not include .blade.php, though they might just be simplifying the path.

In Laravel 8, I get the same results as @erblinbobaj when testing the base_path function :-(

Hope that helps!!
