Configure PhpStorm to show Issues/Tasks from GitLab

Question

I have a trouble to set up a GitLab's account to manage the tasks (issues) inside the PhpStorm from TOOLS > TASKS & CONTEXTS > CONFIGURE SERVERS

What is a TOKEN field ? Where do I find it, I've searched in my Profile on GitLab server but found nothing.

Only thing I have found and tried, is a Personal Access Tokens located here: https://gitlab.com/profile/personal_access_tokens

PERSONAL ACCESS TOKEN was already generated and used but it does not work.

Error log (I have replaced a real URL path with asterixes because of the privacy)

Answer 1

You need to create a new Personal Access Token here https://gitlab.com/profile/personal_access_tokens and put it in that field.

Have you checked this: https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/Integration+with+an+Issue+Tracking+System+in+PhpStorm

Answer 2

From what I gather, if you generated the token correctly on the Gitlab side ( SETTINGS > ACCESS TOKENS > CREATE PERSONAL ACCESS TOKEN ) and inserted it into the token field at TOOLS > TASKS & CONTEXTS > CONFIGURE SERVERS in PhPStorm, it could be a timeout problem.

If you go to SETTINGS (Ctrl+Alt+S) > TASKS and change the CONNECTION TIMEOUT parameter to, say, 20000ms it should work.

Please refer to this post if you have any doubts.
