"Go to declaration" does not work in Netbeans PHP

For Linux users to delete cache:

rm -fR /home/[user]/.cache/[netbeans_version]

Then restart NetBeans.

I found a workaround for myself. Share with you in case you might need it like me.

Project Property - Include Path - Add the location of the containing folder where it doesn't work/isn't loaded.

Deleting the Netbeans cache and letting Netbeans rebuild the cache after start fixes the 'go to declaration' issue, as suggested by others.

On Windows 7 with Netbeans 8.0 the path to the cache is

c:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache\

As suggested by Nam, it is cache related. So another approach could be to delete the cache:

Close NetBeans
Delete cache folder (by default, on Linux it is located in /home/USER/.cache/netbeans)
Open the project and wait for the scanning project task to finish.
