PhpStorm settings

I like to use the following custom PhpStorm settings:

Global IDE Settings

• Appearance & Behavior
• System Settings
  - DONT reopen last project on startup
  - DONT confirm application exit
  - Open project in new window
• Editor
• Colors & Fonts
• Font: Consolas 22pt (I have a 4K high DPI monitor)
• Code Style
  Line separator: Unix
  Right margin (columns): 80
• File Encodings
  Project Encoding: UTF-8
• Languages & Frameworks
• PHP
  PHP Executable: C:\dev\php\php.exe
• Composer
  Path to composer.phar: C:\dev\bin\composer.phar

Per-Project Settings

For every project, it's also necessary to set up PHPUnit.

Note that I configure PHPUnit as a composer dependency, so each project has its own local copy and version of PHPUnit.

This removes the requirement that PHPUnit be installed on the system externally, but it also means that we have to configure PhpStorm when we first open the project.  That is the lesser of 2 evils IMO so that's what I'm doing.

Project Settings

• Languages & Frameworks
• PHP
• PHPUnit
  Use custom autoloader
  Path to script: (current_dir)/vendor/autoload.php
  Default config file: (current_dir)/phpunit.xml.dist
  Default bootstrap file: (current_dir)/test/bootstrap.php

 Run > Edit Configurations

• Defaults
• PHPUnit
• Test scope: Defined in the configuration file
• Use alternative configuration file: (current_dir)/phpunit.xml.dist
• Custom working directory: (current_dir)/test
