1. When writing automated test cases for Lighthouse 5, PhpStorm cannot autocomplete. Clicking $response->assertJson fails to find the declaration to go to. Method ‘assertJson’ not found in \Illuminate\Testing\TestResponse. See Figure 1.
2. Printing the $response object reveals its actual path is: \Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\TestResponse. See Figure 2.

3. In another project, PhpStorm can autocomplete. See Figure 3.
4. In the other project, printing the $response object reveals its actual path is: \Illuminate\Testing\TestResponse. Compared to the project where the method cannot be located, it is missing \Foundation. See Figure 4.

5. Reference URL: https://www.shuijingwanwq.com/2022/01/26/5827/ . I suspect it is similar to this issue. In Laravel Framework 6.20.44 and nuwave/lighthouse v5.36.0, this is caused by a version mismatch. In the other project, the versions are Laravel Framework 8.78.1 and nuwave/lighthouse v5.35.0, which are matching.
6. I plan to roll back nuwave/lighthouse v5.36.0 to ~4.10.1 in the current project. Run the composer remove nuwave/lighthouse command to uninstall nuwave/lighthouse. Run the composer require nuwave/lighthouse:~4.10.1 command to install nuwave/lighthouse. After rolling back to nuwave/lighthouse v4.10.2, autocompletion works. See Figure 5.
7. Clicking to jump to it shows the file path is: \Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\TestResponse. See Figure 6.
8. Searching for \Illuminate\Testing\TestResponse in the Issues confirms that someone else has encountered a similar problem: Refine test helper return types for static analysis. See Figure 7.
9. Because Laravel moved TestResponse in v7. The official recommendation is to use: https://github.com/nuwave/lighthouse/releases/tag/v4.12.2 . It works perfectly with Laravel 7 and is still compatible with Laravel 6. See Figure 8.
