| Name | In this text box, specify the name of the current run/debug configuration. This field does not appear for the default run/debug configurations. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Defaults | This node in the left-hand pane of the dialog box contains the default run/debug configuration settings. Select the desired configuration to change its default settings in the right-hand pane. The defaults are applied to all newly created run/debug configurations. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Temporary configurations limit | Specify here the maximum number of temporary configurations to be stored and shown in the Select Run/Debug Configuration drop-down list. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Share |
Select this check box to make the run/debug configuration available to other team members.
The shared run/debug configurations are kept in separate xml files under .idea\runConfigurations folder, while the local run/debug configurations are kept in the .idea\workspace.xml. This check box is not available when editing the run/debug configuration defaults. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Single instance only | If this check box is selected, this run/debug configuration cannot be launched more than once.
Every time a new run/debug configuration is launched, PhpStorm checks the presence of the other instances of the same run/debug configuration, and displays a confirmation dialog box. If you click OK in the confirmation dialog box, the first instance of the runner will be stopped, and the next one will take its place. This make sense, when usage of certain resources can cause conflicts, or when launching two run/debug configurations of the same type consumes too much of the CPU and memory resources. If this check box is not selected, it is possible to launch as many instances of the runner as required. So doing, each runner will start in its own tab of the Run tool window. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Before launch | Specify which tasks should be carried out before starting the run/debug configuration.
The specified tasks are performed in the order that they appear in the list.
