Description waldermort 2014-08-01 15:15:23 UTC 
The New Project wizard (Step 5: Composer) is great for selecting a package and version, but, it doesn't create the project.

"composer require xxx" is run rather than "composer create-project xxx".

In addition to this a standard index.php (for a PHP project) is created in the root folder.

An earlier enhancment request https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228399 (marked as FIXED) says this will be available after version 7.4, This does not seem to be the case.

Perhaps that Composer Wizard page should have a check box indicating "use create-project" and default to using "require".

php?
Comment 2 deresh 2014-09-11 20:36:25 UTC 
what is the status of this issue? This shouldn't require much work.
Comment 3 Tomas Mysik 2014-09-12 06:05:41 UTC 
Not so easy as it could seem to be, sorry.
Comment 4 svierkant 2014-11-07 13:36:31 UTC 
@waldermort: the earlier request was something different, but I agree that this is a very important feature.

You can't create a (i.e. Symfony2) project in NetBeans. This is the only step that I have to take in the terminal. The support for Symfony2 (or composer in general) is OK, but this is very important.

+1 for this enhacement
Comment 6 joao_neto 2015-04-13 13:20:19 UTC 
but I think this feature should not be in the window "New Project", but in the "Team" menu. Like Team -> Composer -> Import Composer Project and after create a Netbeans project.
Comment 7 Tomas Mysik 2015-04-14 07:09:25 UTC 
BTW in the development version of NetBeans, one can simply open a directory with composer.json file as a NetBeans project. Feel free to test it and report issues you find.

Thanks.
