Problem running Zend commands inside NetBeans (solved)

When trying to run zf commands inside Netbeans

it didn't work until I did the following:

1. ​Using cmd I created the .zf.ini file using the script​ "zf --setup fonfig-file"
1. .zf.ini is in your user directory like in windows: "C:\Users\abdelhady_mohammed"
1. Then I opened netbeans and from tools>Options>php>Zend, then choosed "Register Provider"
2. Right click the project Zend>run command and choose "Refresh Commands"

And here we go, every thing is Ok inside Netbeans

Then I tried to run zf commands again on windows command line:

And here comes the bug, zf commands is no longer runnable on windows command line and here is the full bug report on Netbeans site:

http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=187234

Solution:

get the "NetBeansCommandsProvider.php" located in "D:\Boston_Dev_Env\NetBeans\php\zend"

and copy it to the Zend Library folder "D:\Boston_Dev_Env\server\ZendFramework-1.11.7\library"

and every thing will be fine then

Portable Netbeans

 Simply do this:

• Make sure you have the same JDK installed (in the same paths) on the machines where you use the USB drive - or copy the JDK on the drive too. The same applies to web servers / version control systems / runtimes, whatever is applicable.
• Download the OS-independent.zip distribution of NetBeans. Unpack it on your usb stick.
• The directories you need to copy are the netbeans userdir (.netbeans directory), and of course your project directories.
• Check whether you have a global netbeans.conf file: If yes, make certain it is identical to the one in your userdir to prevent unexpected behaviour in either environment.
• In your netbeans installation directory, open /etc/netbeans.conf in a text editor.

• Change netbeans_default_userdir="${HOME}/.netbeans/6.5rc2" to something like

  netbeans_default_userdir="X:/.netbeans/6.5" 

  assuming X is your USB sticks drive name.
• Change the path to the JDK from #netbeans_jdkhome="/path/to/jdk" to e.g.

  netbeans_jdkhome="X:/jdk"
