PHPStorm not open on Magento root

[dmanners]

Describe the bug (*)

Using the PHPStorm plugin when having PHPStorm open a level above the Magento root seems to not show target modules when creating a plugin or any other option with the "Target Module" dropdown.

To Reproduce (*)

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Setup PHPStorm so that it is open one directory above the Magento root. E.g. ProjectName->src when src is the Magento root and project name contains other project-related files.
2. Enable module,
3. Go to a class in Magento,
4. Right-click on the method name and select "Create a Plugin",

Expected behavior (*)

All modules under app/code to be shown in the "Target Module" drop-down

Screenshots

Please complete the following information: (*)

• OS: Ubuntu
• PhpStorm/Intellij version 2020.1.1
• Version: 1.0.0

Additional context

I have tested this by using the same directory but opening only the Magento root. It could be that I do not have something correctly setup with the src folder but all the URNs are setup and navigation from the plugin seems to be working as expected.

Hello @dmanners !
Thank you for your report. I made a test according to your request and this is the result:

1. I created a folder
2. Add the scr folder into it and in it create a new Magento CE project
3. Open PHPStorm
4. Target project root for PHPStrom on the src level so the Magento project is one level under
5. Create 2 modules in the app/code
6. Tried to create a plugin
7. All 2 new modules appeared in the module selection dropdown
   

I think that the problem, possibly, in the settings of your project. Please, check the Magento install path and if the problem would not be solved or my test was incorrect ping me :)

Example of my settings for Magento install path:

Thanks for looking at this @coderimus I have these settings and that also seems fine as it picks up the version of Magento as well. Like I said if I just open the src directory as a PHPStorm project everything works fine but when I have the main project root open and not Magento root it does not work :(

Are there any other PHPStorm seetings like source root that I need to take care of?

[dmanners]

Ah I think I have found the problem with it. I have the PHPStorm project setup in a different directory as the actual code. And when I just open the directory with the code even with the multiple levels then it works well. I wonder if the module does not work with my setup.

Steps to get my setup:

1. In PHPStorm create a new project and put it in any place. For me it's /home/dmanners/PhpstormProjects/ProjectName.
2. Add the source root via the settings in PHPStorm and point to another directory. Using Settings->Directories and click "Add Content Root".

The reason I did this was in my old setup I had the content linked over a samba share. Technically now I do not need to run it this way but can simply put the project and content in the same place. But old habits die hard it seems.

This means I have my .idea settings under /home/dmanners/PhpstormProjects/ProjectName/.idea
but for example, some of the files are not set up correctly. The modules file is actually empty and not the same as if I open the folder directly.

Hello, @dmanners!

Is it still actual for you?
The settings mentioned by @coderimus should cover case if you want to have Magento src folder under the project directory.
So, if it is the expected behaviour, we can close this issue.
What do you think?
