I have the default WebStorm file watcher running on our coffeescript files. I can disable file watchers in the general settings section of WebStorm, but I can't find where I can modify the coffeescript watcher itself, to pass an extra parameter to it?
Preferences/Tools/File Watchers (or Settings/Tools/File Watchers if you are on Windows/Linux), select 'CoffeeScript' file watcher on the left, open it for editing, modify Arguments field accordingly

In WebStorm (2020.2.2) I accidentally named a file foo.jss and I renamed the file name to .js but WebStorm has not recognized the change. I already removed my .idea folder.
I appreciate any help or hint.
Focus the file in the Project View (just like you have on your screenshot).
Now invoke View | Quick Documentation: IDE will show a popup with file info. The info you are after is the File Type (how IDE treats this file).
I cannot say what the file type might be as it shows WebStorm's icon (never seen that before)... but .jss file extension usually stands for "JavaScript Style Sheet".
Now go to the Settings/Preferences | File Types, locate that file type in the top list, then look in the middle list (patterns) and remove such unwanted pattern (will be similar to the original file name before the rename).
If it's not under that file type... then also look through other file types, "Files Opened In Associated Applications" entry in particular (the idea based on the WebStorm file icon).
If such unwanted pattern cannot be found under any of the file types for some reason... then we need to look into the actual config files where such info is stored.
The Prettier docs say to use --use-tabs to override the default behavior. WebStorm automatically populated the Prettier package:
That's a folder. I tried changing it to npm\prettier.cmd and adding the switch, but that doesn't work (It just turns red).
How can I set WebStorm to use tabs with Prettier?
If your project has a .editorconfig file, you can override the indent_style setting in there.
# top-most EditorConfig file
root = true
[*]
indent_size = 4
indent_style = tab
I found these resources helpful too:
https://prettier.io/docs/en/options.html#tabs
https://editorconfig.org/
Due to https://github.com/prettier/prettier/pull/2434 fix, Prettier (even global!) uses configuration file nearest to current file (up the directory tree) when formatting.
So, you can install it globally and configure it in your project, by adding the corresponding .prettierrc file or "prettier" section in project package.json.
The documentation for WebStorm says if you want to rename a file, do it in the Project Tool window. The problem is that finding a file in the Project Tool window is a hassle. If you start typing there to find the file, it won't be able to locate it unless it is in an expanded folder.
How can I easily rename a file in WebStorm?
There is no way to rename file right from the editor. Try Navigate/Select In.../Project view to open a file in Project Tool window and then use Refactor/rename in its right-click menu
You can also enable the 'Autoscroll from source' Project tool window option to have the currently opened file auto-selected in the project tree
Also, Refactor/rename is available in file right-click menu in the Navigation Bar if it's enabled (View/Navigation bar)
In addition to that, You can use the shourtcut.
Click on the file in the project window & Press the buttton Shift+F6.
Right click on the file -> Refactor -> Rename or just use Shift+F6 as a shortcut and a dialog window will open up so you can change the name.
I want to use "FileTemplates" plugin in Sublime Text 2. I installed it with Package Controller, but when I use "Create file from template" and select something, nothing happens! It doesn't even create a file.
How can I make it work? Any ideas?
You need to find you current user's packages folder. Here you will find where the FileTemplates package has been installed. On my Windows system it is %APPDATA%\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\Packages\FileTemplates. You may also get to this folder from the Preferences menu by selecting Browse Packages...
Inside this folder there is a Templates folder. Inside this folder you will find the pre-canned file templates. You may create your own by copying and pasting the existing files to create the templates you like. You will need to create a .file-template file in the FileTemplates folder. This file is an xml file which tells sublime where to find the actual template and what parameters to the file creation the user may pass into the template. For instance $name is the parameter that the user is prompted for which will be used to name the file created from the template. Hope this helps.
I have a django project that I have been working on as a solo developer, and have been using TortoiseSVN to keep the code managed in a repository on a work server. I work on this on a local installation of django etc.
There is now a second person who will be working on this project, and the possibility of working on some other PCs.
Now, there should, for the time being, only be one development version (branch?) of this project, but the configuration file (settings.py) will need to be different on each computer that is being used. I want to create one local version of this file on each PC which should not need to be changed again.
How can I set the repository (preferably within TortoiseSVN) to exclude this one file? E.g. the repository should not include settings.py. When a checkout occurs, it should update all files in the local folder but not change/remove the local copy of settings.py. When a commit occurs, settings.py should be ignored and not uploaded.
At the moment settings.py is overwritten/updated as per any other file in the project folder/repository.
Any nudges in the right direction would be useful - I'm new to SVN generally and would like to know if this is something that's going to need detailed understanding of branching or if there is a simpler way.
Thanks
In TortoiseSVN, when you try to commit your files, in the file list dialog, right click the file and look for the Ignore option. You can ignore by complete filename or extension.
If the file is already in the repository, and you want to remove it from there and ignore it, you can simply right-click the file and in the TortoiseSVN menu look for the 'Delete and add to ignore list' option.
You'll be looking for the svn:ignore property, which tells subversion to not version files matching a pattern or patterns you specify.
There's some guidance on using it with TortoiseSVN at:
http://arcware.net/tortoisesvn-global-ignore-pattern-vs-svn-ignore/
These should help:
I have a file in my project that every developer must change, but I don't want those local mods to ever be committed. How can I make 'svn commit' ignore the file?
Excluding Items from the Commit List
The typical solution is to do what bgever said and ignore the settings file itself, and then commit a file with example values, something like settings.py.example. That file should only be updated when you add or remove settings. When deploying, you'd copy that to settings.py and edit the values.
