Not replacing custom variables on on existing files

[ghost]

Hi,

first thanks for this great plugin, proved very useful already!

But I have one little issue.

It it's only replacing the variables when using the "New File" / #parse(<INCLUDE_NAME>) function. It's not working when I simply add a "File and Code Template - Includes" in an existing file.

Thx in advance.

The solution i've found for that is to remove the .idea folder and reopen the directory, its not optimal but it works.

@MTon I'm not sure that understand you... Could you please a litle bit more describe the scenario what happens and what should be?

[th3fallen]

@MTon or a better one i just found is to copy the templates directory from the .idea dir into your old projects.

@vkravets Sorry to be not precise. Next try.

Preconditions

Under the Settings IDE Settings -> File and Code Templates I got these three tabs Templates, Includes and Code

Under the Templates-Tab I got a template for PHP-Classes called PHP Class which looks like this.

<?php
#if (${NAMESPACE})
namespace ${NAMESPACE};
#end

#parse("PHP Class Doc Comment.php")
class ${NAME}
{

}

The Include PHP Class Doc Comment looks like this, where ${AUTHOR} and ${COPYRIGHT} are my custom variables that are set under Default Settings -> File and Code Template Variables and Settings -> Project Settings -> File and Code Template Variables

/**
 *
 * Class        ${NAME}
 *
#if (${NAMESPACE}) * @package     ${NAMESPACE}
#end
 *
 * @author      ${AUTHOR}
 * @copyright   ${COPYRIGHT}
 */

The Problem

When I create a new PHP-Class in a project, ${AUTHOR} and ${COPYRIGHT} are filled with the correct values from the settings. So far so good.

But when I try to add the docblock from the above Include to an existing class. Eg.

<?php
namespace MyNamespace;

class MyClass
{
    // some stuff
}

I'm doing it this by adding /** and press enter above the class definition. It should add the stuff from the above Include too. But I get

<?php
namespace MyNamespace;

/**
 *
 * Class        MyClass
 *
 * @package   MyNamespace
 *
 * @author      ${AUTHOR}
 * @copyright   ${COPYRIGHT}
 */
class MyClass
{
    // some stuff
}

As you can see, the default variables are filed, but the custom ones aren't.

Hope you can follow now :-)

@th3fallen Thx for the suggestions, will try!

@th3fallen Removing the .idea-Folder from the project didn't make any difference to me.

Ok, now it's clear for me what happens. The similar issue was already open (#3) and I cannot implement such functionality since I cannot inject(trigger) my code during docblock insert. IDEA Platform don't have such API, unfortunately... Sorry... =(

Ok! Thanks a lot anyway!
