PhpStorm 6.0.1 Web Help

Besides working from within PhpStorm, it is possible to perform certain actions "offline", without actually launching the IDE. This way you can:

To launch code inspection from the command line
  1. Under the bin directory of your PhpStorm installation, use one of the following launchers, depending on the operating system:
    • Specify command line arguments:
      • Project file path is the full path to the project to be inspected.
      • Inspection profile path is the path to the profile, against which the project should be inspected. The inspection profiles are stored under USER_HOME\.PhpStormXX\config\inspection
      • Output path is the path to an existing directory where the report will be stored.
      • Options. You can specify:
        • The directory to be inspected -d <full path to the subdirectory>
        • The verbosity level of output -vX, where X is 0 for quiet, 1 for noisy and 2 for extra noisy.

    Examples

    Windows

    MacOS

    To view differences using command line diff tool
    • In the command line, type the following:
                          <PhpStorm> diff <path1> <path2>
                      
      where:
      • <PhpStorm> is platform-specific product launcher
      • <path1>, <path2> are full paths to the files to be compared.

    Examples

    Windows

                PhpStorm.exe diff C:\SamplesProjects\MetersToInchesConverter\src\javascript\numbers.js C:\SamplesProjects\MetersToInchesConverter\src\coffeescript\numbers.coffee
            

    MacOS

                /Applications/PhpStorm.app/Contents/MacOS/idea diff ~/Documents/file1.txt ~/Documents/file2.txt
    To open file for editing
    • In the command line, type the following:
                          <PhpStorm> <path1> --line<number> <path1>
                      
      where:
      • <PhpStorm> is platform-specific product launcher
      • <path1> is the path to the project that contains the desired file
      • <number> is the number of the line, where the caret should rest
      • <path2> is the path to the file to be opened

    Examples

    Windows

                PhpStorm.exe C:\SamplesProjects\MetersToInchesConverter --line 3 C:\SamplesProjects\MetersToInchesConverter\src\javascript\numbers.js
            

    MacOS

                /Applications/PhpStorm.app/ ~/IdeaProjects/MyTestProject --line 3 ~/IdeaProjects/MyTestProject/file1.txt
