Format Code command automatically adds the "" before a class when it is used to invoke a static method.
Example:
\testClass::staticMethod()

Intellisense is taking an enormous amount of time to index a project (a WordPress site with 2352 files to parse). After 30mins it's still chugging through. During this time CPU usage is at 99.8% and both fans are going bonkers (2015 top spec MacBook Pro 15").

So I looked at the output window and discovered it seems to be going round and round and never reaching the end. Here's the bit of the output showing where it gets to before a Connection to server got closed. Server will restart error occurs:

As soon I install your plugin I get a lot of PHP errors or warnings in my problems window.

All of those problems are related to files I did not create and I would like to disable code validation for those directories or files.

Is it possible to exclude some files from validation?

I’m running into this error and I’m not quite sure what to do about it. A search through the issues reveals nothing so could be unique to my setup?

Not sure how I can explain better, but this would be very useful, especially for private variables in classes.

Thank you for this great extension, makes VSCode perfect!

In the language server project it says: "Errors/Warnings from the vendor directory are ignored."

Would be great to have a way to specify either a different directory, or multiple directories. Right now my composer.json has this:

"config": {
	"vendor-dir": "library"
},

It is possible to make Ctrl + Click works to Go To Definition like PHP Storm or Netbeans?

I work on a big project which includes lots of files. Which can have a lot of issue in them and make it really slow to run.

How can I tell it folders not to search? Or if there is a way can it be added to the documentation.

Is it possible?
Thanks.

I'm getting this error in class files where there's no a defined namespace:

Great extension, but is it possible to configure formatting options to follow PSR-2 standard - like do not remove empty lines, align assignments (by = sign), do not convert "else if" to "else } if", etc.?
Thanks.

When I click some warnings, vscode return an error "Unable to open 'common.php': File not found (e:\path\to\common\file\common.php)."

Like this

Copied from original issue: felixfbecker/php-language-server#130

After updated version 0.0.12, I always got error.

The PHP Language Server server crashed 5 times in the last 3 minutes. The server will not be restarted.

Another message found in the console:

// Place your settings in this file to overwrite the default settings

}

One thing that I still miss from Netbeans is it's superb intellisense that offers suggestions to include files from a given path as you are typing plus bringing the docs (if available).

From Netbeans:

vscode-php-intellisense

How can we implement similar functionality?

VSCode Version: 1.6.0-insider
OS Version: Win10
Steps to Reproduce:
Install PHP 7.1.0-RC1 and you will get this error :

The language server needs at least PHP 7 installed and in your PATH. Version found: 7.1.0-RC1

Hi,

It was long time ago I had to do any PHP coding and lot has changed since then (I use NET in my everyday development) and now I have some small PHP project to attend to, so I decided to use VS Code to help me with PHP.

First thing I did is to install PHP Debug (thank U for this extension too) and made it work pretty fast. Now I can debug PHP code :)

During my PHP development sessions, I saw that there is no VS code PHP intellisense for MySQL objects (in specific mysqli), so I decided to try your other extension - PHP Intellisense and I failed :(

After I installed extension, I can see format code option in context menu, but no matter what I tried I could not see any intellisense regarding MySQL PHP objects.

Here are my settings:
"php.validate.executablePath": "C:/xampp/php/php.exe", "php.validate.run": "onType", "php.validate.enable": false

I tried "php.executablePath" too, without and in combination with "php.validate.executablePath" but it did not seem to work. As U can see, I am using XAMPP with PHP 7.0.13 (cli) (built: Nov 8 2016 13:45:28) ( ZTS ) (PHP is in my PATH too).

Based on all said in READ.me I was not sure if I need to install PHP language server in order to make intellisense work so I did not install it :)

Is there anything else that I can do/try in order to get PHP MySQL objects intellisense to work?

Thanks

• VSCode Version: 1.7.2
• OS Version: Max osX 10.11

Steps to Reproduce:

Hi, I'm trying to point VSCode to my PHP executable. I'm on a Mac and using MAMP Pro, which I believe is the PHP executable that I'm suppose to point to.

I've gone into settings.json and added this line:

// Points to the php executable.
"php.validate.executablePath":  "/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.0.12/bin"

Here's an image to help if needed.

Not sure if I entered the file path wrong or if I should use a different one, it doesn't seem to click. I still get a message that PHP executable is not connected to VSCode.

Also, new to Github and trying to tag this as a question but don't see an option to tag a label to this post.

Hi,
I'm playing with your extension and I have problems with using it with VS Code. After cloning I executed:

• npm install
• tsc

I copied whole directory to vscode extensions directory and now when I open PHP file in developer tools console I have error message:
[Extension Host] Response handler 'initialize' failed with message: Cannot read property 'code' of null

for example if i have a class defined as class Extremely_Long_Class_Name aliased as Name
i can call a static method 'foo' from the class using either the full class name or the aliased name like this.

Extremely_Long_Class_Name::foo() // go to definition on foo works fine

Name::foo() // go to definition on foo doesn't work

I'm running Gentoo and this extension fails to compare the version of php:

The language server needs at least PHP 7 installed and in your PATH. Version found: 7.0.10--pl0-gentoo

I don't know if I am doing something wrong or if it is even possible but I have framework classes in vendor folder so I would thought that autocomplete function hinting/completing these classes, eg. in use statement, function parameters etc. Every other function of your extension works well, great job! But autocomplete is not, even with your PDO example.

In output console

MAC Os sierra.

Message: InvalidArgumentException: Not a valid file URI: inmemory://model/26 in...

I think it may be because the diff views shown aren't on disk, but instead loaded in memory? To reproduce, just open a repository folder, modify a PHP file, switch into the Git panel, and select the modified file.

My VScode config specifies some files and folders to ignore:

files.exclude": {
        "**/.git": true,
        "**/.svn": true,
        "**/.hg": true,
        "**/.DS_Store": true,
        "**/docs": true,
        "**/upgrade": true,
        "**/uploads": true,
        "**/node_modules": true,
        "**/.vscode": true
    }

But Intellisense is scanning some of these as can be seen in the output window:

Parsing file 1/2352: file:///private/var/www/sites/mysite/docs/temp/inc/admin.php
Parsing file 2/2352: file:///private/var/www/sites/mysite/docs/temp/inc/comments.php
Parsing file 3/2352: file:///private/var/www/sites/mysite/docs/temp/inc/core.php
Parsing file 4/2352: file:///private/var/www/sites/mysite/docs/temp/inc/courses.php

In this case the docs folder contains a lot of PHP files that are not part of my project. Is there a way to specify that some folders should not be scanned, or for Intellisense to not scan excluded folders?

Hi, first off thank you for the wonderful php intellisense plugin.

I tried the format code option, but doesn't seem to show any effect on the file. Is there anything i am missing out on ?

Hi,

I just downloaded the extension for VSCode, but it does not seem to work. For example, i cant find symbols (it says "unfortunately we have no symbol information for the file") or format code (the option doesn't appear on the context menu).

I'm using Linux Mint 18, the latest version of VSCode, and installed PHP 7 using sudo apt-get install php.

Is there something else i'm supposed to do?

Thank you.

Copied from original issue: felixfbecker/php-language-server#26

This is a question:

I am getting this error in the output window:

Connection to server is erroring. Shutting down server.

What does this mean?
Do I have to install anything else apart form the VS Code extension? :^)
I don't even know what the language server is supposed to be (I guess the parser for the language?).
If you can help it would be cool. :)

Paradoxically, the "format code" option seems working (maybe it is native functionality of VS Code that you override?), but not the symbol listing.

On OSX 10.12.3 with VSCode 1.8.1 the language server sometimes keeps running in the background, eating CPU resources at 80-99%.
Judging by the older issues and the performance mention in the readme its still indexing projects
I'll try to find out more when I have a bit more time to experiment.

/**

Actual: Problems panel has problems of total workspace.

Can you add setting to scan on problems only opened file(s)? I have too large workspace with many "prev-" temporary files. I don't need to see errors from temporary files. And I don't need to scan all files, because it take CPU resources.

thank you.

P.S. related with comment of microsoft/vscode#19018 (comment)

I install this extension all day
but always installing,why....

VS code 1.3.1
OS: win7

I tried to compile plugin from scratch and after npm run compile I got such error:

npm run compile

I tried several solutions from web but nothing helped. Any hints?

Hi.

I have been trying to install your plugin but I cannot seem to get it to work.

I turned off php.suggest.basic, however I cannot seem to get autocomplete to work at all now? See the image below.

The output tab shows that the server booted and indexed all my files I guess. See below.

The Developer Tools tab give me no indication why it is not working.

Stuff like Find All References also turn up no result. Not sure if this feature is simply not supported or what? Find All References does work for classes.

I have tried various things, running the composer run-script --working-dir=vendor/felixfbecker/language-server parse-stubs directly from the installed extensions folder. I am wondering I have missed some obvious installation instruction or something?

I am using VS Code 1.9.1 and I am on OSX

As discussed extensively in felixfbecker/php-language-server#31 we need to talk to the server through a socket on Windows if we want to allow tasks to run between commands from the client.
For this, php-intellisense needs an OS switch to decide which means of communication to use.

Here is my hacky implementation so far. It currently always uses a socket, still needs the OS switch.

'use strict';
var path = require('path');
var child_process_1 = require('child_process');
var vscode = require('vscode');
var vscode_languageclient_1 = require('vscode-languageclient');
var semver = require('semver');
var net = require('net');

function activate(context) {
    // Check if PHP is available and version is ^7.0.0
    child_process_1.execFile('php', ['--version'], function (err, stdout, stderr) {
        if (err) {
            if (err.code === 'ENOENT') {
                vscode.window.showErrorMessage('PHP executable not found. You need PHP 7 installed and in your PATH');
            }
            else {
                vscode.window.showErrorMessage('Error spawning PHP: ' + err.message);
                console.error(err);
            }
            return;
        }
        // Parse version and discard OS info like 7.0.8--0ubuntu0.16.04.2
        var version = stdout.toString().match(/^PHP ([^\s]+)/)[1].split('-')[0];
        // Convert PHP prerelease format like 7.0.0rc1 to 7.0.0-rc1
        if (!/^\d+.\d+.\d+$/.test(version)) {
            version = version.replace(/(\d+.\d+.\d+)/, '$1-');
        }
        if (semver.lt(version, '7.0.0')) {
            vscode.window.showErrorMessage('The language server needs at least PHP 7 installed and in your PATH. Version found: ' + version);
            return;
        }
        var serverOptions = function () {

            return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
                var childProcess;
                var pipeServer = net.createServer((pipe) => {
                    // 'connection' listener
                    console.log('PHP process connected');
                    pipe.on('end', () => {
                        console.log('PHP process disconnected');
                    });
                    pipeServer.close();

                    resolve({
                        reader: pipe,
                        writer: pipe
                    });
                });

                var listener = pipeServer.listen(0, '127.0.0.1', function() {
                    var address = '127.0.0.1:' + pipeServer.address().port;

                    // The server is implemented in PHP
                    var serverPath = context.asAbsolutePath(path.join('vendor', 'felixfbecker', 'language-server', 'bin', 'php-language-server.php'));
                    childProcess = child_process_1.spawn('php', [serverPath, '--tcp', address]);
                    childProcess.stderr.on('data', function (chunk) {
                        console.error(chunk + '');
                    });
                    childProcess.stdout.on('data', function (chunk) {
                        console.log(chunk + '');
                    });
                });
            });
        };
        // Options to control the language client
        var clientOptions = {
            // Register the server for php documents
            documentSelector: ['php']
        };
        // Create the language client and start the client.
        var disposable = new vscode_languageclient_1.LanguageClient('PHP Language Client', serverOptions, clientOptions).start();
        // Push the disposable to the context's subscriptions so that the
        // client can be deactivated on extension deactivation
        context.subscriptions.push(disposable);
    });
}
exports.activate = activate;
//# sourceMappingURL=extension.js.map

I'm getting the following notification on top:
The PHP Language Client server crashed 5 times in the last 3 minutes. The server will not be restarted.

My output window shows:

[Info  - 5:49:53 PM] Connection to server got closed. Server will restart.
[Info  - 5:49:53 PM] Connection to server got closed. Server will restart.
[Info  - 5:49:53 PM] Connection to server got closed. Server will restart.
[Info  - 5:49:54 PM] Connection to server got closed. Server will restart.
[Error - 5:49:54 PM] Connection to server got closed. Server will not be restarted.

EDIT: Just noticed that you closed issues relating to these problems while mentioning the WIP state. However, this extension is publicly available, and it is not mentioned it doesn't work out-of-the-box.

PHP IntelliSense is very good.But "Go to Definition" needs to be improved.
Look this code:

class ParentItem
{
    public function test()
    {
        echo 'test';
    }
}
class Child extends ParentItem
{
    
}
$a = new Child;
$a->test();

I can't go to definition$a->test()

Add the ability to ignore folders that contain libraries. That way I don't get hundreds of warnings from somebody elses code.

Thanks for your efforts for doing this extension, but I get a high CPU overloading... And even, it will fork another process named PHP in some cases.

Here is the processes:

is it possible to add the ability to jump back to last definition?

I'm on:

• PHP 7.1
• MacOS 10.12.1
• vscode 1.7.2

and I can't see the Goto Definition on the popup menu.

Any ideas?

When analyzing files, the PHP Language Server Output window opens. After it is closed manually, it re-opens after a while. Also, it appears as though the PHP Language Server is continuously re-parsing the files in the project when it re-opens.

Congrats on hitting v1.

Hi. your work is very good. but you know not all use php in our projects. Some use php 5 or less. You know you should allow choose the version of php or that automatically detects and should also allow use more than one version of php

I cannot install the language server in my current project (nor do I want to) because it conflicts with laravel's install. I would like to be able to point to the install location of the language server through a config setting, but this doesn't seem to be supported.

I can install it somewhere else and run it through a seperate terminal, but this is undesired.

Hello,

Thank you for this useful extension for visual studio code.

Is there any way to exclude some folders from scan, because I got below error, it seems that this extension search node_modules folder too, so I think that excluding this folder from search can help us.
