Add an empty line at end of file according to PSR-2 on PhpStorm

Question

I use PSR-2 for code styling my code.

When I inspect a file using Codesniffer most of the times I get the following error.

332 | ERROR   | [x] Expected 1 newline at end of file; 0 found

It's obvious how to fix this. What I need to know is if PhpStorm has a way to add the 1 newline at end of file

I already loaded the predefined style from Settings -> Editor -> Code Style -> PHP -> Set From -> PSR-1/PSR-2 and also used the Reformat Code to change the CS accordingly.

Everything is fixed except from the new line. Am I missing something?

Answer 1

You already have two answers for how to turn it on for ALL file types in IDE (in short: Settings/Preferences | Editor | General -> Ensure line feed at file end on Save).

In modern version (2020.3) that option has been reworded a bit. Now it says Ensure every saved file ends with a line break

---

To do this for .php files only you can do the following:

1. Install EditorConfig plugin (if you do not have it installed yet). In modern versions it is already bundled and enabled by default.
2. Create .editorconfig file in your project root (or whatever folder that would be where you want to apply such style -- it will be applied to files in this folder and below). If you have one already -- open and inspect it
3. Add rule for *.php files only -- property to use would be insert_final_newline

An example:

[*.php]
insert_final_newline = true

To me did not work until I also enabled Editor -> General -> Virtual Space -> Allow placement of caret after end of line – Gilbertina

As of PhpStorm 2020.3.2, I see this setting worded slightly differently: Ensure every saved file ends with a line break. – Maki

@KyleTolle Yeah, they seem to make changes in wording from time to time. Could also be that not everybody was understanding how that option worked... – Sita

Yes, the current wording does seem to be clearer and match what I'd expect. – Maki

Answer 2

someone said picture speaks louder :D

you will need to tick the Ensure line feed at file end on save box

Answer 3

In PhpStorm preferences go to:

Editor > General

Check the box "Other: Ensure line feed at file end on Save."

Just realize this affects all code files you edit in PhpStorm, not just PHP files.

Answer 4

Under Settings: Editor > General click Ensure line feed at file end on save is checked.

It will add a new line to EVERY file (.js, .css, .html), but it's the only way I've found, and it's a small hit for allowing PSR-2.
