Docblocks for properties not working

[ricklambrechts]

Hi,

Most of the things are working great, thanks!

But when using the provided option inside a settings class:

/** @var int[]|null  */
public $an_array_of_ints_or_null;

I get the exception:

ArraySettingsCast::__construct(): Argument #1 ($cast) must be of type Spatie\LaravelSettings\SettingsCasts\SettingsCast, null given. (SettingsCastFactory.php on line 69)

Hi @ricklambrechts,

This should be fixed with v2.1.5!

[ricklambrechts]

Awesome!

@rubenvanassche Packagist is not showing the new version. Could you look into it?

That's strange, updated it: https://packagist.org/packages/spatie/laravel-settings

This is not working when using the cache

[rubenvanassche]

Hi @argonzalez2016, could you provide me an example. Casts are only used to transform values between repository and settings class. When caching we serialize the complete setttings object so the values should be exactly the same as before caching.

I found the issue. I was trying to cache a laravel collection and it was calling the toArray method before serializing.

Yeah, personally, I wouldn't use too complex types within a settings class because that opens the door for a lot of things that can go wrong. But technically it is possible 😄
