Pest Autocomplete Support

A VS Code extension that automatically configures Intelephense to include your Composer vendor directory, providing accurate autocomplete support for Pest testing framework.

How It Works

The extension automatically:

1. Searches for composer.json files in your workspace (recursively up to 5 levels deep)
2. Detects corresponding vendor directories with Pest installed
3. Prompts you to configure Intelephense include paths for better autocomplete
4. Handles multiple Composer projects by letting you choose which vendor directory to configure

Supported Project Structures

• Standard Laravel/PHP projects: composer.json in project root
• WordPress themes: wp-content/themes/theme-name/composer.json
• Laravel packages: packages/package-name/composer.json
• Monorepos: Multiple composer.json files in subdirectories
• Nested projects: Any Composer project up to 5 levels deep

User Experience

• Single Composer project: Simple "Configure/Not Now/Don't Ask Again" prompt
• Multiple projects: QuickPick interface to select which vendor directory to configure
• Persistent preferences: Remembers your "Don't Ask Again" choice
• Non-intrusive: Only prompts when vendor directory is found and not already configured
• Smart prioritization: Root-level vendor directories are suggested first
• Manual configuration: Command palette command available for immediate setup after installation

Requirements

• PHP Intelephense must be installed
• Composer project with Pest installed in vendor directory

What It Does

• Adds your Composer vendor directory to Intelephense include paths
• Enables accurate autocomplete for Pest functions (it(), test(), beforeEach(), etc.)
• Provides proper type hints and method chaining support
• Uses actual Pest classes from vendor directory (no stub files needed)
