Multi Line comments in javascript aore marked as error

Hi there,

Please provide sample code (ideally not as copy-paste text but as a downloadable file).

Please also state your exact IDE version.

Hallo Andriy

I could find out a little more details. But it is very strange

When I create a new PHP file test.php and insert this code

<?php
/**
* Created by PhpStorm.
* User: xxx
* Date: 22.09.16
* Time: 08:17
*/

?>

<script type="javascript">

/* Test */

</script>

everything works finde. But if I create a new file named test.js.php (which I use to determine if JS is used in this php file) and use the same contents, it get the error. It is very easy to reproduce.

Regards

Claus

Thanks for clarification.

It's not a bug but expected behaviour. And the issue is not about comments .. but actual <script> tags -- you do not need them in such file (if you remove them your comments will be treated properly).

What is ".php" file (from IDE point of view)? It's a file where PHP code is allowed/supported and outside them is a HTML context.

In your case you have double extension -- ".js.php". Here IDE does what users have asked to do (see original WI-24237 ticket) -- to have JavaScript as outer language context instead of default HTML. Basically -- IDE treats this file as ".js" file (where you do not need any <script> tags and write JavaScript straight away) with PHP code support. Before (few versions back -- like v8 and earlier) to have that done, you had to go into "Template Data Languages" settings page, find such file and associate JavaScript language manually -- now it's done automatically based on the file extensions.

To sum it up:

• Any file with .js.php extension is treated as JavaScript file with possible PHP code in it.
• This means that you simply do not need any <script> tags in such files

If you want to have "original" behaviour -- where file is treated as HTML with possible PHP code in it (as any .php file would be) you have few options:

1. Do not use double extension
2. If you have to use double extension -- use different one . Don't know --  .js.html.php maybe
3. Keep this double extension ... but go into "Settings/Preferences | Languages & Frameworks | Template Data Languages" settings page (you can use search box in top left corner to speed up search) -- find this file in the list there and assign "HTML" in the right column

Hallo Andriy,

thanks for the fast reply and explanation.
