How to Fix 'Call to undefined method' Error in Inherited Laravel Model?

I have created a new model in Laravel that extends a model from the vendor directory and added a new method (getNextApprovers) to the new model. However, when calling this method, I receive a Call to undefined method error. I have tried using __call and Traits, but the issue persists. How can I resolve this issue and ensure that the method works correctly in the new model?

<?php namespace App\Models; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory; use RingleSoft\LaravelProcessApproval\Models\ProcessApprovalFlowStep as BaseProcessApprovalFlowStep; class ProcessApprovalFlowStep extends BaseProcessApprovalFlowStep { use HasFactory; public function getNextApprovers(): \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection { $nextStep = self::where('process_approval_flow_id', $this->processApprovalFlow->id) ->where('order', '>', $this->order) ->orderBy('order') ->first(); if ($nextStep) { return $nextStep->role->users()->get(); } return collect(); } } this is error Call to undefined method RingleSoft\LaravelProcessApproval\Models\ProcessApprovalFlowStep::getNextApprovers()

Where are you calling the method from? - are you importing the vendor file or your extended file there?

@Alnuaimi Please use code formatting as mentioned #✅┊rules. You are here long enough now to know this You aren't calling your model but the parent model directly: RingleSoft\LaravelProcessApproval\Models\ProcessApprovalFlowStep
