Remote php interpreter Laravel root directory problem

[Guilhem-DELAITRE]

Stange problem here :

My setup is as follow : my php interpreter is "remote" : ssh connection to a local running VM

It so happens that when i try to run the tinker console, I got this phpstorm notification :
"The configured laravel root is not a directory
Please check if it's the right path. Using a guessed vendor path for now."

The strange thing is that if I take the path in "Laravel root folder", and put "cd path" in my .bashrc, it actually works, which means that the directory definetely exists.

I looked in the repository and came to this (PhpArtisanTinkerUtil.kt line 56)

if (projectSettings.laravelRoot.isNotEmpty()) {
    val customLaravelRoot = File(projectSettings.laravelRoot)
    
    if (customLaravelRoot.exists() && customLaravelRoot.isDirectory) {
        val customComposerDir = File(customLaravelRoot.path + "/vendor")
        
        if (customComposerDir.exists() && customComposerDir.isDirectory) {
            laravelRoot = projectSettings.laravelRoot
        } else {
            LaravelRootDoesNotHaveVendorBalloon(project).show()
        }
    } else {
        LaravelRootDoesNotExistBalloon(project).show()
    }
}

As far as I understand it (not that much), this is for local php interpreter, and I didn't find anything related to remote :
did I missed something ?

You might want to leave your laravel root empty in the settings - it will pick one automatically.

Please check if your path mapping is correct like i suggest here #48 (comment)

Thanks, path mapping worked perfectly (configured tinker plugin to point to local laravel folder and mapped local laravel folder to remote laravel folder in the php interpreter Path mappings).

I'd just like to point that
"When using remote, manually fill in the path as if on the remote" (which appears under the "Laravel root folder" field)
actually hinted me AGAINST using mapping, because it suggested that I enter the path as if I was on the remote system.
I don't know if it's the case for all remote interpreter (ssh, wsl, docker, etc), but maybe you could change the sentence by
"When using remote, make use of PHP interpreter Path mappings)

Yep! You are right, that is info I thought was right and forgot to change. Thanks!
