vagrant-phpstorm-tunnel

vagrant-phpstorm-tunnel installs a proxy php binary which can be configured as a php-interpreter in PhpStorm. It will forward all php calls to php in the Vagrant VM.

This is a workaround for a missing feature in PhpStorm (see http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-19485).

Installation

vagrant plugin install vagrant-phpstorm-tunnel

Vagrantfile

You can configure your project_home path within vagrant machine. This is needed for proper paths mapping from PhpStorm during debugging (please have a look also section below). Also you can configure prefix for each command executed into VM. For example you can prefix command with extra sudo permissions like in example below.

Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|
  (...)
  config.phpstorm_tunnel.project_home = '/home/vagrant/fuboo'
  config.phpstorm_tunnel.command_prefix = 'sudo'
end

By default the plugin assumes that your project is shared as /vagrant in the VM. It will copy PhpStorm's helper-scripts into .idea/vagrant/tmp/ to make them accessible from within the VM.

PhpStorm

vagrant-phpstorm-tunnel will create a file .idea/vagrant/php in your vagrant-project.

Select this file as a PHP interpreter in PhpStorm:

Add PHP server for your project

VM

You should also export PHP_IDE_CONFIG parameter into VM environment with the same value as your PHP server name configured above

export PHP_IDE_CONFIG='serverName=www.fuboo.dev'

This is recommended to append above line to ~/.profile file of your VM
