Configuring PhpStorm 2016.1 with PhalconPHP 2.1

Question

I have installed PhpStorm 2016.1 and configured it to use the Phalcon Devtools for Phalcon 2.1.0 RC1 also I configured the PHP language level to PHP 7 with the interpreter to PHP 7.0.5 (I have that version installed), I can run commands using the "Run-Command" option in PhpStorm and tested the Phalcon Dev-tools commands from there and they work perfectly, the only problem I'm having is that the IDE doesn't recognize Phalcon code, eg.

<?php
class ClientController extends Phalcon\MVC\Controller

The IDE shows the following message:

Undefined class Controller

Like it does not recognize the Phalcon PHP code methods and classes, when I run my code in the browser it works perfectly, so I have everything installed correctly (Phalcon + PHP 7.0.5), I'm using Ubuntu 15.04

Do I need to do something else? Any help is really appreciated, thanks!

Answer 1

Inside PhpStorm, open your project view ( View > Tool Windows > Project ). At the bottom of your project files you'll have the item "External Libraries".

Open it and browse to the location where you have stored your IDE files for Phalcon 2.1.0 ("/your/directory/phalcon-devtools-master/ide/2.1.0")

Add and apply the changes and you should have IDE support now.
