phpstorm unresolved function or method $()

Question

I have the following problem: phpstorm do not recognize jquery methods and here and there I see

Unresolved function or method $()

This was bugging me for sometime but finally I tried to get rid of it with File->Settings->JavaScript->Libraries and adding jquery as a global / project.

My library setup looks like this:

But is has not changed anything. I still see those pesky notices. Does anyone know how to get rid of them?

Answer 1

There is a really stupid workaround,

Download the Library (in this case jQuery) from inside the IDE itself.

• Open up settings (Ctrl + Alt + S on Linux)
• Navigate to Languages & Frameworks -> Javascript -> Libraries
• Click Download and choose jQuery

Hopefully the errors will vanish

EDIT: After running the IDE through Fiddler, I realised this only solves the problem because of the version the IDE downloads.

So, the correct workaround is to Add older, non-AMD jQuery versions as a Global scoped Library and add the latest one as a Project scope library.

The latest non-AMD versions are:

1.10.2 for 1.x series. And, 2.0.0 for 2.x series.

Answer 2

I had the same issue with version 1.11.2, and resolved it simply by adding the uncompressed version into my js folder.

Answer 3

Just copy the uncompressed version of jQuery into your project folder. you don't even need to import it into your project, just copy it to javascript folder.
