In the CMS tutorial the has a call to findBySlug like the following in the ArticlesController.php file:

```
    public function view($slug)
{
    $article = $this->Articles->findBySlug($slug)->firstOrFail();
    $this->set(compact('article'));
}

```

My ide, PhpStorm, highlights the function and says it is not found in “\App\Model\Table\ArticlesTable”.  
What am I missing?

you dont miss anything its called using magic `__call` function

you can hint your IDE by adding docBlock before table class declaration:

```auto
/**
 * @method \Cake\ORM\Query findBySlug(string $slug)
 */

```
