php.validate setting ignored

[aidantwoods]

v1.1.2

VS Code Version 1.9.1, macOS 10.12.3.

Upon setting "php.validate.run": "onSave" (which is the default anyway), PHP IntelliSense will validate while typing.

Even upon setting "php.validate.enable": false, PHP IntelliSense will still validate while typing.

That is the built-in validation of VS Code.

Setting is only ignored with PHP IntelliSense installed

[felixfbecker]

php.validate controls the built-in validation of VS Code.
It will not affect the validation of the PHP language server.
What is the behavior you expect?

[aidantwoods]

PHP IntelliSense honours the setting?

i.e. doesn't attempt to validate code while typing (only validate on save) – personally I find it distracting when validation occurs before I've finished typing.

I understand that the setting is for the built in validator, but the setting being ignored is caused by installing PHP IntelliSense, so I'm assuming it's either a bug or a feature (I can't find any documentation on the latter behaviour).

[felixfbecker]

What you are seeing is probably PHP IntelliSense's own validation, which can not be configured.
PHP IntelliSense cannot influence the built-in validation in any way.

[aidantwoods]

Can I change this to a feature request to honour the user defined setting?

[felixfbecker]

It would have to be a new setting because as I said that setting is VS Code's own setting. But yeah, just open a new issue

Awesome, thanks :)
