Thanks very much. Are you looking at any way to implement specs for static methods?

I can't get code completion to work in 2016.3.2. If I write $this->something() PHPStorm says Method not found in spec. The function do exist in the class I'm testing. Am I wrong or is this supposed to work, like in your screencast?
