I've acquired PhpStorm and I was wondering if there was any guidance on the best way to set it up for CiviCRM development. I saw there was a little information about coding style setup but there are a few other aspects.

  • I notice that .idea isn't excluded in CiviCRM's .gitignore by default?
  • How can I configure PhpStorm to run the web tests?

With a comprehensive answer we might be able to create a more comprehensive docs page to help others get up and running.

Regarding your first question you can set up phpstorm to use another project directory rather than the .idea direcory in your civicrm root.

I usually have an install of Drupal with CiviCRM plus drupal modules plus extensions and only the extensions are link to git.

I am also curious on how to use web tests in php storm... Did not know it was possible...

  • Thanks Jaap, I've set up having the project files and the 'working' files in different places, thanks to some help from here as well: youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-343#comment=27-799345 It should be possible to run the tests from directly within PhpStorm! It would probably be easier if I was working with buildkit on Unix...
