Command Line Tools Console Tool Window

Tools | Run Command

N/A

The tool window is available only when the Command Line Tool Support plugin is installed and enabled as described in Managing Plugins.

The tool window is marked with the icon . Use the tabs of this tool window to type and run commands in the command line and to validate .xml descriptors for structure consistence. See PHP Command Line Tools for details.

The tool window consists of the following tabs and areas:

• The Input pane for typing commands in the format <tool alias> <command>. The location of the Input pane (text box or pop-up window) depends on the Show console in setting on the Command Line Tool Support page.

• The Output tab shows the results of executing commands. The tab is named after the last invoked command.

• The Tool definition file errors tab is hidden by default. The tab is accessible only if any structure discrepancies are detected in the .xml descriptor during validation. See How do I keep a tool descriptor consistent? for details.
