Before use, start it with `vendor/bin/sail up -d`. ### WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) [](#wsl-windows-subsystem-for-linux) This package supports WSL environments where PhpStorm runs on native Windows and PHP runs in WSL. This is a common development setup that provides Windows IDE features with Linux development environment. #### Requirements for WSL [](#requirements-for-wsl) - `wslu` package must be installed in WSL - Check if installed: `wslvar -v` - Install if needed: `sudo apt install wslu` - Ensure your user profile is on the C drive (default location) How it works1. **Detection**: Automatically detects WSL environment by checking `WSL_DISTRO_NAME` environment variable 2. **Path Resolution**: Uses `wslvar LOCALAPPDATA` to get Windows AppData\\Local path (e.g., `C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local`) 3. **File Writing**: Writes MCP config to Windows side via PowerShell commands - Creates temporary file in Windows `%TEMP%` directory - Uses Base64 encoding to safely transfer JSON content - Copies to final location: `%LOCALAPPDATA%\github-copilot\intellij\mcp.json` 4. **Path Handling**: Converts WSL paths to Windows paths for absolute command and artisan paths Troubleshooting WSL- Ensure `wslu` is installed and `wslvar` command works - Check that PowerShell is accessible from WSL with `powershell.exe -Command "Write-Output 'test'"` - Verify Windows LOCALAPPDATA path with `wslvar LOCALAPPDATA` (should return `C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local`) - If MCP config file is not created, check Windows directory permissions - Ensure your user profile is on the C drive (default location) - `[error] WSL Interoperability is disabled. Please enable it before using WSL.` If you see this error, enable WSL Interop by adding the following binfmt configuration: ``` echo ":WSLInterop:M::MZ::/init:PF" | sudo tee /usr/lib/binfmt.d/WSLInterop.conf sudo systemctl restart systemd-binfmt ``` #### Remote Development [](#remote-development) Running PhpStorm within WSL is not supported.Because it is not possible to distinguish between a "Windows version of PhpStorm and WSL environment" and a "PhpStorm remote development environment with WSL". The remote development environment is the same as Linux, so if you really want to use it, please configure the MCP file manually. `~/.config/github-copilot/intellij/mcp.json` ``` { "servers": { "laravel-boost": { "command": "/absolute/path/to/php", "args": ["/absolute/path/to/laravel/artisan", "boost:mcp"] } } } ``` #### Recommendation for WSL [](#recommendation-for-wsl) Consider using [laravel-boost-copilot-cli](https://github.com/invokable/laravel-boost-copilot-cli), which allows you to use a project-level MCP configuration file. ### Testbench for Package Developers [](#testbench-for-package-developers) Not supported. Please use [laravel-boost-copilot-cli](https://github.com/invokable/laravel-boost-copilot-cli) instead. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require revolution/laravel-boost-phpstorm-copilot --dev ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) When you run the Laravel Boost installation command within your Laravel project, you'll see a `PhpStorm with GitHub Copilot` item added to the list. - First, you will see `Which Boost features would you like to configure?`. The files will be installed depending on the features you select. - `AI Guidelines`: `.github/instructions/laravel-boost.instructions.md` - `Agent Skills`: `.github/skills` - `Boost MCP Server Configuration`: A location appropriate for your environment. - Next, you will see `Which AI agents would you like to configure?`. Select `PhpStorm with GitHub Copilot` for the AI agent. ``` php artisan boost:install ``` Note **DO NOT** select `PhpStorm`, it's actually `PhpStorm Junie` ### Important [](#important) With PhpStorm and GitHub Copilot plugin, the MCP configuration file is stored in a system-wide location. Therefore, you need to run the `boost:install` command to update the configuration file whenever you switch Laravel projects. The configuration file contains the absolute path to your Laravel project. ``` php artisan boost:install --guidelines --skills --mcp --no-interaction ``` In boost 1.8 and later, the `boost:update` command does not update the MCP configuration file. ### MCP Configuration File Location by OS [](#mcp-configuration-file-location-by-os) - macOS, Linux: `~/.config/github-copilot/intellij/mcp.json` - Windows: `%LOCALAPPDATA%\github-copilot\intellij\mcp.json` License ------- [](#license) MIT ### Health Score 49 — FairBetter than 95% of packages Maintenance85 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity27 Limited adoption so far Community10 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity60 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 62.4% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
