PhpStorm .idea in GIT issues-CodePudding

In order to keep codestyles the same for every team member, our projects have PhpStorm config files as a part of GIT.

Conditions

VCS contains config files in .idea. Files list:

codeStyles/codeStyleConfig.xml
sqldialects.xml
inspectionProfiles/Project_defaults.xml;

Problems

The project root directory is shown empty;
Indexation problems (the indexation process never finishes)
Trees display errors (files are not shown in some directories, always "loading files...")

Workaround

If I delete the entire .idea folder with the files in it and PhpStorm reinitializes the settings, everything seemingly works fine.

Have anyone else encountered something similar? What can you recommend?

CodePudding user response：

Yes, that the known problem when .idea folder is present and not empty but does not have minimal needed files (cannot say for sure, but I guess the IDE wants to see workspace.xml and maybe *.iml modules.xml to avoid this issue).

What can you recommend?

Sadly I've got nothing significant to suggest from my end. I simply do not face such problem (can easily manually workaround it if needed).

The only thing I may suggest is:

Make a new project without .idea folder in it.
Once the project is created, close it in the IDE and overwrite those files (a simple copy-paste will do just fine).

CodePudding user response：

You should ignore all user-specific config files. Below is the recommended file list that should be added to the .gitignore

If some files are still on the git, you should delete them and then commit them.
