I am having a hard time trying to set the javascript libraries used for IntelliJ's auto detect features (so require() for NodeJS is not detected as an error, for example). I know how to do it for a single file, but I want to set some libraries globally, and some I want to be set for all projects. Is there a way to do this? Below is a screenshot of the option I want to set.
Well, I just met this problem few days ago. There is such a function in Settings -> Languages&Frameworks -> JavaScript -> Libraries page. Click the Manage Scope button and then you can set libraries usage for the whole project or any specified directories.
Besides, just putting the js files of the library into project folder seems to have the same effect.

I have a Git repo with two directories:
backend (PHP/Laravel code)
frontend (TypeScript/Vue code)
I would like that backend is marked as excluded when the project is opened in WebStorm and frontend to be excluded when it is opened in PhpStorm.
This is to ensure that searches/indexing only happen for the files that I would actually edit in that specific IDE.
When I change the excluded directory it seems to automatically apply this to the other IDE as well. Is there some way to keep this setting separate?
Comments:
I intentionally have both frontend and backend in one repository.
Opening the subdirectories in their own IDEA projects does not seem
to be an option because the Git integration only works when the
project is in the root folder of the repository.
When I change the excluded directory it seems to automatically apply this to the other IDE as well.
It is expected. That's because the project settings are stored in the .idea subfolder. All IDEA-based IDEs use the same .idea settings format. So opening the same folder/project in different IDEs simply makes them use that already-made config (shared between IDEs).
Plus, both PhpStorm and WebStorm use the same module type ID (WEB_MODULE) and can have only 1 module in total in a project. IntelliJ IDEA and some other IDEs (like PyCharm for example) can work with projects that can have more than one module and of different types.
Is there some way to keep this setting separate?
Yes, with the help of a small workaround: you need to store .idea used by another IDE in another place. As simple as that.
The setup and steps:
Lets assume that you have your project in C:\Projects\MyProject.
Make a brand new empty project in another place, e.g. C:\Projects\IDEProjectsStore\MyProject-frontend. It will be used for a frontend.
Go to Settings/Preferences | Directories and remove an existing Content Root (which will be C:\Projects\IDEProjectsStore\MyProject-frontend from the previous step).
Add new Content Root instead -- point to the actual project (C:\Projects\MyProject from step #1)
Save and configure as needed.
What you will have now:
This frontend project will now have its settings stored in C:\Projects\IDEProjectsStore\MyProject-frontend\.idea while another (original project with backend) will have them in C:\Projects\MyProject\.idea.
Projects (project-specific IDE settings) are stored in 2 separate places while they both use the same folder with the code.
Basically: a project in the IDE's eyes is an .idea folder with a parent folder added as a Content Root by default. Our workaround keeps the second project in a different folder while sharing the same Content Root between them.
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-170102/ -- that's a ticket that asks for a straightforward way of doing this.
I would like that backend is marked as excluded when the project is opened in WebStorm and frontend to be excluded when it is opened in PhpStorm.
Why do you need two IDEs for this?
In case if you do not know: PhpStorm = WebStorm + PHP + Database. You do not really need WebStorm here. Just install any missing plugins that come bundled with WebStorm.
I want to get rid of the annoying popup window when opening the same project in both webstorm and intellij. This window constains
Project components were changed externally and cannot be reloaded:
RunManager
editorHistoryManager
ToolWindowManager
ProjectRootManager
ChangeListManager
FileEditorManager
Would you like to reload project?
Is there a way to do that?
Thank you.
The problem is that WebStorm and Idea use the same project format (https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/help/project.html#d1374457e109), but have different module types, settings, etc. So, it's strongly recommended to avoid sharing the project settings (.idea) between WebStorm and Idea.
If you like to proceed with working on your project in both IDEs, I can suggest creating a separate project to be used in WebStorm: create a new empty WebStorm project anywhere and then add a folder where your javascript, HTML, etc. files are stored as an additional content root to it using Settings/Project/Directories, Add content root.
Is there any way to get IDE support for CasperJS functions? I am currently using PhpStorm, but also tried in netbeans, it won't know which functions are defined. It is quite irritating that I get Unresolved variable / undefined function IDE warnings for all the functions.
I tried to copy \casperjs\modules\*.js files to the project, most of the functions got "defined".
PhpStorm: Download the casperjs.zip from casperjs.org, it will contain a modules folder, copy every .js file to your project. (I put them in an IDE_HELPER folder)
An IDE helper javascript file would still be much better, but it is working.
Alternatively: You can also attach these files as external libraries, so it won't bother you while browsing your own files.
It should work in other IDEs too.
Disclaimer: I'm talking about JetBrains products.
I encountered this problem myself. The easiest way to solve it is to click on a bottom right icon (Finally, I understand that is this for!).
It will show you which libraries are associated with an open file. The only thing you have to do is to click on «Libraries in scope» and add your library by clicking «Download»
I know it's an old post, but after not finding any IDE Helper too I managed to write a script that creates one by scraping the content off of the official docs. You can find out more about the IDE Helper on my website:
http://christophersax.com/2016/casperjs-ide-helper/
(It's free of course)
I hope it helps!
You can add casperjs as a Resource in your Preferences.
Go to Project > Directories > + Add Content Root > Add casperjs folder then > Mark as Resource Root.
I have created a sample application to perform bump distortion, using the GPUImage framework. I added this framework to my application, but I'm seeing the following error
Lexical or preprocessor issue 'GPUImage.h' file not found.
I have added the -ObjC flag to the Other Linker Flags, but I'm still seeing this error. How can I solve this problem and get my application to compile?
Adding GPUImage framework to XCode project could be tricky. So I haved added detailed step-by-step instructions w/ images on how to do it.
Static Compilation Method (detailed solution so we don't mess up)
This is Static compilation method. In this basically we will compile the framework using ./build.sh file. And simply add it to our XCode project, then configure XCode to properly use it.
Download GPUImage from Github and extract it (or just clone it).
Go to the GPUImagefolder in terminal
Run ./build.sh
Note: This will compile and create ready-to-use binary for all the sdks on your mac.
build.sh creates a folder called build and generates compiled binaries and dumps them to folders like: Release-iPhone, Release-iPhoneOS, Release-iphonesimulator etc folders.
For iPhone use Release-iphone (This also works for simulator).
Copy (not drag-drop) Release-iphone to your XCode project's root directory so that we have a local copy of framework.
Now iPhone drag-and-drop Release-iphone onto your XCode project. Make sure to check "Copy to .." option.
Note:
This Release-iphone folder contains two sub-folders: include and lib
include folder contains all the header .h files
lib folder contains compiled binary version file called libGPUImage.a
We now need to simply configure XCode to use .h and .a files.**
Select your project in the project explorer > Project name under Targets > select Build Phases > Expand Link Binary With Libraries
Add the libGPUImage.a to Link Binary With Libraries section. You may want to Right-click on libGPUImage.a then Open in Finder and finally drag-drop it.
While we are at it, also add the following GPUImage's dependent frameworks/ libraries
CoreMedia, CoreVideo, OpenGLES, AVFoundation, QuartzCore to Link Binary With Libraries section
Now, lets configure .h headers.
Select your project in the project explorer > Project name under Targets > select Build Settings > and type search paths to see search paths section.
Open Headers Search Paths by clicking on the value field.
Drag-and-drop the lib folder to that popup. Note: If it shows absolute path, change it to looks $(SRCROOT)/path/to/lib/. (You should have the framework relative to your xcode project see step 6).
Repeat 11 & 12 for Library Search Paths as well.
Additional tips: You can add .h files to Library Search Paths or Headers Search Paths, you can make them Recursive. I have a main root-folder called Dependencies folder where I keep all the dependencies like MySDK-framework including Release-iPhone. And I just have one search-path at the Dependencies (root folder) and made it recursive.
Did you follow all of the instructions from the Readme on the project page? From the installation instructions:
You'll also need to find the framework headers, so within your
project's build settings set the Header Search Paths to the relative
path from your application to the framework/ subdirectory within the
GPUImage source directory. Make this header search path recursive.
If you're seeing the above error, it means that you did not point the Header Search Paths at the right directory where you've installed GPUImage relative to your project, and / or did not click the checkbox to the left to make those search paths recursive.
I show some screenshots of where you need to go to set this in this answer, which explains something similar for the Core Plot framework. The same principles apply, only you need to find where you installed the GPUImage framework at.
I add relative path to "Header Search Paths", but there is still a error that is "not found".
Then, I add path to "User Header Search Paths", and it works.
May help you.
finally, I realized the KEY WORD is relative！
I put GPUImage source files in my project root dir:
before I solved the problem, I add Header Search Paths is:
$(PROJECT_DIR)/GPUImage/framework
$(PROJECT_DIR)/GPUImage/framework/iOS
and make them Recursive, but error is still there, So I changed Paths to:
GPUImage/framework and make it Recursive, then it works.
Hope it helps.
I am trying to incorporate the three20 library and Keith Lazuka's Kal (Calendar UI) library into my project. I have included the three20 static library and everything works fine.
Now when I try to add Kal into to my project using the instruction specified in here https://github.com/klazuka/Kal, Xcode is unable to find the header files and I get an error:
Kal.h:No such file or directory
However if I have a new project and I add the Kal library, it works fine. So do I have to do something special to include two static libraries in my xcode project?
You may still need to tell XCode where to find the header files for the kal.h library.
Go to Project->Edit Project Settings.
Select the "build" tab. Scroll down to the Search Paths.
**Double clicking User Header Search Paths brings a dialog box. NOTE: In Xcode 4 I found that you actually need to add the path to "Header Search Path" NOT "User Header Search Path"
Drag directories from Finder into the dialog box or click the + button to add manually.
** I've not really gotten the hang of xcode yet so Im putting the same search paths in Framework, Header and User Header. So far it's worked out fine, but I shall expect (and deserve) a scolding from the xcode savvy individuals for such behavior.
