GIT 问题中的 PhpStorm.idea

Question

In order to keep codestyles the same for every team member, our projects have PhpStorm config files as a part of GIT.

Conditions

VCS contains config files in.idea. Files list:

• codeStyles/codeStyleConfig.xml
• sqldialects.xml
• inspectionProfiles/Project_defaults.xml ;

Problems

• The project root directory is shown empty;
• Indexation problems (the indexation process never finishes)
• Trees display errors (files are not shown in some directories, always "loading files...")

Workaround

If I delete the entire .idea folder with the files in it and PhpStorm reinitializes the settings, everything seemingly works fine.

Have anyone else encountered something similar? What can you recommend?

Answer 1

You should ignore all user-specific config files. Below is the recommended file list that should be added to the .gitignore

# Covers JetBrains IDEs: IntelliJ, RubyMine, PhpStorm, AppCode, PyCharm, CLion, Android Studio, WebStorm and Rider
# Reference: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544839

# User-specific stuff

If some files are still on the git, you should delete them and commit them

Answer 2

Yes, that the known problem when .idea folder is present and not empty but does not have all needed files.

What can you recommend?

Sadly got nothing significant to suggest from my end. I simply do not face such problem (can manually workaround it).

The only thing I may suggest:

• Make a new project without .idea folder in it.

• Once the project is made, close it in the IDE and overwrite those files (a simple copy-paste will do).
