Early Access Program

PhpStorm 2018.2.2 EAP 182.4129.18

It’s a start of Early Access Program for PhpStorm 2018.2.2, a minor update for the recently released PhpStorm 2018.2. A fresh build 182.4129.11 is available here, in JetBrains Toolbox App or, if you have installed PhpStorm 2018.2 and have “Early Access Program” channel selected in Settings->System Settings->Updates, you should soon get a notification in the IDE about a patch update.

This build delivers bug fixes and improvements for PHP and the Web, and takes on the latest improvements in IntelliJ Platform.

PHPCS and PHPMD usability improvements

PhpStorm continues to simplify usage of PHP_CodeSniffer and Mess Detector. Now, if you have phpcs.xml or phpmd.xml config files in the root of your project, they will be automatically detected and grasped by the PhpStorm.

phpcs.xml and phpmd.xml auto-detected

The IDE now also detects custom rules/rulesets for PHPMD specified in composer.json.

Platform updates:

  • The database tools now support ClickHouse out of the box
  • Fixed a couple of performance issues related to VCS (file scanning)

Notable bug fixes and features worth mentioning:

  • WI-35124 Set debugging maximum simultaneous connection configuration setting default to 3
  • WI-43157 Completion doesn’t show all interfaces
