Add cli interpreter for PHPStorm

If you are working with Valet you would probably have multiple projects, running multiple PHP versions

PHPStorm is able to run test inside the IDE, but you need to configure a PHPCLI interpreter and every version has its own executable path

Find Laravel Valet PHP executable path

You are going to be able to see all the PHP versions that you have available using Valet by running

ls /opt/homebrew/Cellar

You would find different directories for different PHP versions, in this example I am using php 8.0.18, so I can see the executable files by running

ls /opt/homebrew/Cellar/php@8.0/8.0.18/bin/php

This is the path to set this PHP cli interpreter to your project in PHPStorm

You can replace the values as your need

ls /opt/homebrew/Cellar/php@<PHP_VERSION>/<PHP_VERSION>/bin/php

You can dive into the Cellar directory to check the different versions and get a list with the PHP files that you need for your current version

Now you are able to run tests
