Questions before buying PhpStorm

Hi soettl,

1) File | Settings | Editor | Ensure blank line before end of the file on Save
2) & 3) Not sure what you mean here. But I'm not using formatter that much so I possibly just missing such existing setting somewhere. In any case -- please provide code snippet explaining how it works right now & how it should work instead -- maybe it's a bug (if such setting does exist).

I have the same problem with the whitespaces and automatic reformatting, I just tested and this behaviour is a bug when not using tab characters for indenting.

When tabs are not used and phpStorm saves a file that has "empty" rows (ie. rows that have only spaces), the spaces are stripped out.

For example I have this LESS-file:

table.custom {
    color: black;

    div {
        float: left;
    }
}

Did you try to go to preferences->Editor- and there under general you have option: Strip trailing spaces on Save: None or just modiied lines ?

Regards

Hi Andriy,

thanks for your reply.

The code formatter does always add a new line before the closing ?>-Tag, not at the end of the file.

I want to format my code this way:

class Testing {
     /**
      * comment
      * [blank comment line, but indented with one single space]
      * @var     integer
      */
     protected $test1 = 0;
     [blank line, but indented equal to previous line]
     protected $test2 = 0;
     [blank line, but indented equal to previous line]
     public function __construct($test1, $test2) {
          // first assignment
          $this->test1 = $test1;
          [blank line, but indented equal to previous line]
          // second assignment
          $this->test2 = $test2;
     }
}

This is how it looks like now:

class Testing {
     /**
      * comment
      *[blank comment line, not indented]
      * @var     integer
      */
     protected $test1 = 0;
[blank line, not indented]
     protected $test2 = 0;
[blank line, not indented]
     public function __construct($test1, $test2) {
          // first assignment
          $this->test1 = $test1;
[blank line, not indented]
          // second assignment
          $this->test2 = $test2;
     }
}
[new line]

Is that possible in PhpStorm 3?

Hi soettl,

Thanks for clarification -- now I understand you you meant.

The code formatter does always add a new line before the closing ?>-Tag

Not exactly -- rather "after the class" I would say -- if you add some php command after class but before such closing tag, new line will not be added before the tag but will be before that line (after the class). Possibly it's a bug (I'm not sure) -- I have played with different options and always have the same result. I think it's worth reporting it as a bug on Issue Tracker (if it's not a bug, then at least you should have proper clarification on this).

Is that possible in PhpStorm 3?

In current EAP build -- no -- at least I was unable to acheive such results. I would recommend submitting feature requests (1 ticket per option -- it's easier to track and implementing in this way for devs) on Issue Tracker: http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issues/WI

I already opened a ticket for this issue. While the correct functionality can apparently be achieved as it is (2.1.5) it is still inconsistent depending on does one use tab characters or spaces for indentation.

Hi Andriy,

thanks for your reply, here are the links to the issues:

• WI-8005 Code formatter: indent empty lines equal to previous line
• WI-8006 Code formatter: indent empty comment lines equal to previous line
• WI-8007 Code formatter always adds blank line after last class declaration
