Getting started

Setting up JetBrains PhpStorm

PHP Code Sniffer

The Code Sniffer rules for Moodle can be found in the local_codechecker plugin at https://github.com/moodlehq/moodle-local_codechecker which can also be installed into your Moodle development instance for additional checks. See the local_codechecker repo for installation/set up instructions.

Debugger (XDebug)

To set up remote debugging go to the [Run] menu and select [Edit Configurations...]

Click the [+] symbol in the top left of [Run/Debug Configurations] screen and select [PHP Remote Debug]

Give your new configuration a name (it is the name that will appear in the menu to start the debugger).

Check [Filter debug connection by IDE key] and set the IDE key to vagrant.

Click the [...] button for the [Server:] option. This will allow you to define servers that you are are debugging and how their remote code paths match up to what is on your local computer.

Add a new server by clicking [+], give it a name and what host name it is at (likely to be {folder name}.localdomain with this environment).

Check [Use path mappings] and define the mappings for your project. Assuming your project is in {folder name}/moodle/ then you will just set the [Absolute path on the server] to /vagrant/moodle/.

Don't forget to hit enter when you type in the path otherwise it will not save (this is some annoying behaviour I have noticed)

Now just hit Okay until you get back to your main IDE interface and you are ready to start debugging web requests using [Run > Debug...]

P.S. You might need to open up port 9000 on your workstation to allow the debugger to connect back to PhpStorm.
