Creating a project programatically
Hi,
I use a script to start a new mobile app, create the source control etc and it would be amazing if i could also start the progject programcailly in web storm too. I know it's not a huge job to add it after, but it's a bit annoying.
Any sort of hints would be really appreciated.

Hi there,
What exactly you mean by "creating a project"?
With WebStorm/PhpStorm it's easy -- just point to any folder (pass it as parameter to webstorm executable) and IDE will open project there (or create brand new if .idea subfolder is not found).
Ah, that's awesome, I didn't know about that. Is there a flag to open it in a new window? If i have a project open already it seems to ignore the path for the files to create / open. It works if i start it with WebStorm closed at the start.
/usr/local/bin/wstorm /Users/Tom/Development/Apps/AppName/ is the line I used

I do not know about such command line switch.
I guess such behaviour depends on your IDE settings -- where to open new project: a) instead of current b) always new window; c) always ask. So check your Preferences -- use search box to quickly find that option and see if changing it will do any better.
