Is ide-helper Idempotent ?

[MaG21]

Versions:

• ide-helper Version: #.#.#
• v3.1.0
• Laravel Version: #.#.# Laravel Framework 11.23.5
• PHP Version: #.#.# 8.3.12

Question:

Recently I made a change to a property (a type change) and after running php artisan ide-helper:models -W I noticed that ide-helper didn't update the corresponding type in the PHPDoc comment. I was under the impression that every new run will generate the same results regardless.

I could think of a reason or two as of why id-helper preserves the changes. Is there an option that can be used to instruct ide-helper to disregard any changes made and to rewrite the phpdoc (idempotent behaviour).

—reset? Or -RW

Duh. Would you believe me if I tell you that my brain skipped that option ?

Thank you for the fast response.
