You can have multiple interpreters setup, a good example for multiple interpreters would be different interpreters for different versions of PHP. Interpreters in PhpStorm enable PHP support within the IDE. Once you’ve got VVV and PhpStorm up an running, we need to add a PHP Interpreter. The first step is to make sure that you have a VVV environment setup and have installed PhpStorm. The rest of this article is going to go through the steps that I followed to get it working so that you too can get it working on your local development environment. Being a really big PhpStorm fanboy and knowing that it is possible to get working in the way that I wanted it to work, I decided to persevere and eventually figured out the correct configurations to get it working. Initially when I started setting up my unit tests to run inside the VVV virtual machine from PhpStorm, I ran into numerous issues. The good news is that I’ve found that even though there is a slight reduction in speed, it’s fast enough that it’s not of concern to me. The virtual machine also does not have the same computing power as your host machine. This is because there is extra overhead involved with the communication over a SSH connection between your host machine and the guest/virtual machine.
There is a downside to running your tests from inside a VVV virtual machine and that is that it can be a bit slower. I love having clear separation between my computer and development environments.
#PHPSTORM PHPUNIT INSTALL#
Since PHP and PHPUnit are bundled with VVV, it makes sense to have PhpStorm utilise those libraries inside the virtual machine than for me to have to install the libraries independently on my Mac. On my local development environment, I specifically use VVV and ideally I wanted PhpStorm to run the tests from within the VVV virtual machine. The challenge however is getting it setup properly and actually running your WordPress unit tests.
#PHPSTORM PHPUNIT CODE#
It also provides you with great code coverage statistics of your unit tests.
PhpStorm has excellent out of the box support for running unit tests using the PHPUnit testing framework.
