Laravel 5.8 を使った既存の環境に laravel-ide-helper をインストールしようとしたら上手く行かなかった。
（Laravelの最新バージョンは8）
[y_ito@nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn laravel_study]$ composer require --dev barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper
Using version ^2.9 for barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1
- barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper[dev-master, v2.9.0] require illuminate/console ^8 -> found illuminate/console[v8.0.0, ..., 8.x-dev] but these were not loaded, likely because it conflicts with another require.
- barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper 2.9.x-dev is an alias of barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper dev-master and thus requires it to be installed too.
- Root composer.json requires barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper ^2.9 -> satisfiable by barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper[v2.9.0, 2.9.x-dev (alias of dev-master)].
Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.
laravel-ide-helper v2.9.0（最新版？） には illuminate/console バージョン8以上が必要ということらしい。
なのでインストールする laravel-ide-helper のバージョンを下げることにする。
Laravel 5.8 と 6 の間にリリースされた laravel-ide-helper である v.2.6.3（2019-08-31リリース）をインストールしてみた。
composer require でバージョンを指定したらインストールできた。
[y_ito@nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn laravel_study]$ composer require --dev barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper:"2.6.3"
./composer.json has been updated

最後のメッセージが気になる。
これは「開発に対して資金援助をお願いします」っていうことかな？
