PHPUnit composite configuration scope

Posted on August 16, 2018 by Anton Monakov

PhpStorm 2018.2 comes with an extra level of flexibility for working with PHPUnit tests. Previously, you could run either a single method in a class, or all methods at once. Now, PhpStorm also lets you run an arbitrary selection of tests.

To get started, right-click your test target, that is, a class or a method being tested, and invoke Go To | Test or press Control+Shift+T (⇧⌘T for macOS). Then, select several tests to be executed by using Ctrl (⌘ for macOS) and Shift keys.

To run your selection, use the provided keyboard shortcut (Control+Shift+F10 for Windows and ⌃⇧R for macOS):

Simplified CodeSniffer and MessDetector Setup

Posted on August 9, 2018 by Anton Monakov

PHP Code Sniffer and PHP Mess Detector are the proven tools for ensuring that your code is clean, consistent, and conforming to the chosen coding standards.

In PhpStorm 2018.2, we’ve simplified setting up of these tools to the point that almost no setup is actually required. The paths to Code Sniffer and Mess Detector are now automatically detected from composer.json – in the same way as it happens for PHPUnit or Behat.

New inspections in PhpStorm 2018.2

Posted on August 6, 2018 by Anton Monakov

Every PhpStorm release brings new inspections among other features, and PhpStorm 2018.2 is no exception.

The new inspections will detect extensions that are not listed in composer.json, highlight the non-canonical order of elements in PHPDoc annotations, and warn you when an optional parameter is used in a method declaration before the required one.

Let’s take look at them in more detail.

Move Instance Method Refactoring

Posted on August 2, 2018 by Anton Monakov

When you need to move a method across the class hierarchy, PhpStorm provides you with several facilities for this. For example, you can move some functionality between a class and its parent using the Pull Up/Push Down refactorings. Or you can use the Make Static refactoring in combination with Move Static Method to move a method to a different class.

To cover the cases when a method cannot be made static or moved across the class hierarchy, PhpStorm 2018.2 introduces a new Move Instance Method refactoring.

As its name states, the new refactoring allows moving an instance method to a parameter class or to a field class. Why use it after all? The primary reason is reducing the dependency between classes. If your method uses the data mostly contained in a different class, it probably makes sense to keep the method itself there, too, for simplicity and better consistency. See here for more theory behind this.

Fully Qualified Class Name Completion

Posted on July 30, 2018 by Anton Monakov

In PhpStorm 2018.2, code completion comes with an extra perk: When searching for a class, you can now provide the class namespace in the suggestion list, in addition to the class name itself.

So, to locate, for example, an \Illuminate\Routing\Console\MakeControllerCommand  class, you don’t have type or invoke completion separately for each part of its FQN. Simply type something as simple as “IRCM” and have the сlass matched and suggested to you:

Run suite

You can customize the way completion works on the Editor | General | Code Completion preferences page. By default, completion will only match the first letter’s case, so, typing “Ircm” for the above example will do the trick and suggest the proper class.

competion_preferences

Depending on what works better for you, you can choose All letters, which will require typing “IRCM” (or “IRoCoM”), or disable case matching altogether: in this case, typing “ircm” is sufficient.

PhpStorm 2018.2 is now available! You can download it here or via JetBrains Toolbox App.
