Answer 1

I encountered the same problem on Mac, I solved it by deleting netbeans cache directory:

• Close netbeans, Find and delete Cache directory of netbeans, it will solve your problem:
• Replace '7.1.2' with your installed version of Netbeans, in directory paths given below.

MAC:
Remove following directory:

 ~/.netbeans/7.1.2/var/cache/

command:rm -rf ~/.netbeans/7.1.2/var/cache/

Windows XP:
Remove following directory:

C:\Documents and Settings\(user)\.netbeans\7.1.2\var\cache

Windows Vista / 7:
Remove following directory:

C:\Users\(user)\.netbeans\7.1.2\var\cache

Linux:
Remove following directory:

.netbeans/7.1.2/var/cache

Answer 2

Go to Tools->Options-> click on PHP Icon on top -> General tab -> find "Global include path" -> Add Folder -> .

This worked for me on netbeans 11 also

Answer 3

I got the same issue in Netbeans 11.0. My OS is Ubuntu 18.04. I solved the issue by clearing the cache of netbeans. Cache path of Netbeans 11 is

/home/USER/snap/netbeans/common/cache/11.0

Answer 4

Go to Tools->Options-> click on PHP Icon on top -> General tab -> find "Global include path" -> Add Folder ->

if(onLinux) { choose /var/www; } if(onWindows) { choose c:\path_to_htdocs or whatever; }

Ah, too much programming for today.. :)

For me, this repaired autocompletion and ctrl+click on method call.

Answer 5

For me, deleting the Cache didn't work. Deleting and recreating the project did.

For what it's worth, my Cache directory lives here:

C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache

I'm using NetBeans 8.1 in Windows 7.

Answer 6

Deleting the Netbeans cache and letting Netbeans rebuild the cache after start fixes the 'go to declaration' issue, as suggested by others.

On Windows 7 with Netbeans 8.0 the path to the cache is

c:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache\
