PHPStorm cannot run phpstan

[maybe-Baylie]

Hello,

I am new to phptan, and am looking to integrate it into our codebase to help myself and my team with development. I am unable to get phpstan to run in phpstorm. I installed with composer, followed the guide on phpstorm's website, as well as the official phpstan docs. I am however able to run it using the .phar download. I am curious if any of you have run into similar problems or if this is to be expected using windows. I attached a few screenshots showing the issues that occurred when trying to link phpstan through phpstorms quality tools. Any help or direction would be much appreciated, I cannot seem to find anything on the web.

I am running windows 10, php 8.2.2 and phpstorm 2023.1.

Thanks,
Baylie

You should ask somewhere Jetbrains are going to see it.

In other words , maybe-Baylie, did you post this anywhere or solve?

After a year of pulling my hair out I finally figured out that it was due to a naming conflict. We had a global constant "DS" defined for the native "DIRECTORY_CONSTANT" variable. The conflict occurred with the data structures package included in phpstan, which is namespaced under "Ds". I found it personally surprising that a more informative error message wasn't generated when attempting to run the tool, but never the less this problem helped demonstrate the importance of keeping your global namespace clean and bumped the priority of that task up internally.
