NetBeans IDE and Yii projects

I discovered the advantages of using code templates and added some information to the wiki page about it. See if you like it. :)

I had to play with the order of the PHPDoc definitions to get code completion work. Tweak the lines of your definitions if you encounter any problems.

/* @var $matters Matters */
/* @var $model Order */
/* @var $this OrderMatters */

This won't work out of the box, it requires some additional typing. But at least you can make it work. Consider one of your model has some behaviors attached:

class MyModel extends CActiveRecord
{
  public function behaviors()
  {
    return array(
      'someBehavior' => 'MyBehavior'
    );
  }
}
 
class MyBehavior extends CActiveRecordBehavior
{
  public function foo()
  {
  }
}

With this, the IDE has no idea about instances of "MyModel" providing a method "foo". You won't get suggestions for:

MyModel::model()->f <Ctrl> + <Space>

But what you can do is adding some PHPDoc to your model class:

/**
 * @method void foo()
 */
class MyModel extends CActiveRecord
{
  public function behaviors()
  {
    return array(
      'someBehavior' => 'MyBehavior'
    );
  }
}

Now, the the code completion should show the method.

thank you for the setup explanation

How to run selenium with google chrome? IE is too slow.

If you are using 64bit windows with WAMP or XAMPP install then you most likely don't have pear so go to this site and follow the instructions for installing PHPUnit manually.

This is an old article so I am not sure about it's download location, I used the following site to download the current version.

https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/

i did all steps but when i test whole project i get this error

PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class CActiveRecord in /srv/http/weblog/framework/db/ar/CActiveRecord.php on line 1832

Yes but, when i need to configure this, "Open "Tools > Options > PHP > Unit Testing",i don't find the correct path in order to launch the correct script.

I'm using Ubuntu and installed it via

sudo apt-get install phpunit

Thanks, Russ

all is in the title. I can't find the script in this folder "/usr/bin/phpunit". someone can help me plz (NetBeans IDE 6.9.1)

Great article, worked for me, thank you. I must admit, I struggled with Eclipse but Netbeans seems a lot easier to use.

For ubuntu/linux Open a terminal and enter gksudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

the php.ini setting should be

zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/<DATE+lfs>/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_handler = "dbgp"
xdebug.remote_host = "localhost"
xdebug.remote_port = 9000

Save, close and restart apache sudo apachectl -k graceful

Also, I installed netbeans from the Ubuntu Software Centre which doesn't include php. So I downloaded the php bundle from http://netbeans.org/downloads/

Extracted the zip to a directory (/home/russ/Downloads/netbeans) Then ran Downloads/netbeans/bin/netbeans from a terminal

This seems to update the netbeans to include php projects.

If Yii is your primary framework and you are creating many projects then adding the Yii path to every project can be tedious and sometime you can just forget to add it...

To solve this Yii path can be added to the "global include path" so that it's automaticaly included for every old and new projects...

Open "Tools > Options > PHP" and add the Yii framework root path to the "Global include path"

Thanks for posting this! I've been running all my test from my shell, so this is very helpful.

Just a side note: running all tests (Alt-F6) did not work for me until I changed the test directory to /path/to/myapp/protected/tests/unit

Don't forget to escape the dot when you insert yiilite to be ignored. The line should start with:

^(yiilite\.php|
