PestPHP Intellisense in Laravel VS Code Extension v1.7.0

Laravel VS Code Extension v1.7.0 brings PestPHP intellisense with autocomplete for custom expectations and test configurations, a new "Go to route" command, common Artisan commands with terminal execution, and support for new Laravel 13 attributes.

  • PestPHP intellisense with docblock generation

  • "Go to route" command palette action

  • Common Artisan commands with terminal execution

  • Laravel 13 attribute support

  • Bug fixes and consistency improvements

#What's New

#PestPHP Intellisense

The extension now inspects your project's Pest configuration and generates helper docblocks that preserve the correct $this type inside Pest hooks and tests. It also exposes custom expectation methods, giving you autocomplete for pest()->extend(...), pest()->use(...), and custom expectations.

The generated docblocks are stored in storage/framework/testing/_pest.php and ignored by git.

PR: #632

#"Go to Route" Command

A new command palette action, Laravel: Go to route, opens a picker listing all application routes and navigates directly to the selected route handler. Routes can be searched by path or name.

#Common Artisan Commands With Terminal Execution

This release adds a curated set of common Artisan commands to the command palette with terminal-based execution. Commands run in a dedicated "Laravel Artisan" terminal so you can see output directly in VS Code. The list includes commands for migrations, database tools, queue management, caching, tinker, route listing, and more.

PR: #629

#Laravel 13 Attribute Support

The extension now provides autocompletion, linking, hovering, and diagnostics for new Laravel 13 attributes, including:

  • Routing attributes: Authorize, Middleware, and RedirectToRoute

  • Eloquent model attributes: Fillable, Guarded, Hidden, Visible, and Appends
