How to open a project in WebStorm, using the command line (Windows 10)
command-line, command-prompt, webstorm
Solution
The syntax to open a project from command line on Windows is `path/to/WebStorm.exe path/to/your/project` - see https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/2016.2/working-with-webstorm-features-from-command-line.html#d279626e72. You can add `%WebStorm installation directory%/bin` to your system %PATH% to be able to run WebStorm using `WebStorm` command instead of entering a full path to exe.
To open current directory as a project, you can (in principle) just run `WebStorm .`. But this doesn't currently work (IDEA-108586). You can try using `WebStorm.bat .` instead
Problem
I would like to open WebStorm from the command line. My goal is, when I have navigated to the right directory on my PC, to use a command, which opens the current directory as a project in WebStorm.
