PhpStorm Startup task - php artisan serve

Question

I am working with a project locally and I want to run "php artisan serve" with the PhpStorm's startup task feature every time I start the project.

I went to Settings -> Tools -> Startup Tasks and clicked the green plus, then Add New Configuration. However, I don't know what to choose from there. There is no "artisan" option there.

How should I do it?

Answer 1

Artisan is a php script so you can simply add a new PHP Script task:

File: Browse to you project directory and select artisan.

Arguments: serve

If your php interpreter is setup correctly in your PHPStorm settings, then you will be able run this task and it will automatically run at startup.
