Unable to setup Symfony2 framework with NetBeans IDE (8.1)

Stuck at Error: "Symfony console must be selected"

I've been trying for almost a week to set up an environment to develope a web application using Symfony2 framework and NetBeans IDE. I already have a an HTML-Bootstrap-Javascript project ready. There is no engine to the car yet, except for a few trial use cases. The requirement is to select an approriate framework and IDE to develop the php part of the application.

I've done the following:

After creating new project, and going through all the steps of the wizard (selecting framework symphony2) I get the error "symfony2 console must be selected" At this point the options dialog box comes to foreground with the "frameworks & tools" tab open.Option dialog box when pops up when error dialog box is closed

Since I'm not using any zip file, instead I'm using the installer, I cannot apply the recommendations on another post here which talks about extracting the zip folder and creating a new zip folder with the sub contents.

Getting frustrated with this combo now, btw...I have tried an older version of NetBeans so I could use the .zip folder from GitHub, implemented the solution I found on stackoverflow....same result. I can really use some help here!! Thanks in advance.

Here is my solution:

  1. This solution was tested using Windows XP, Xampp, NetBeans 8.1 and symfony 2.8.
  2. Download Symfony 2.8 as explained in the Symfony official site.

  3. Download it into a folder named "C:\my_project" (but my destination folder, will be: "C:\projects\my_project") Then I compressed this folder (for example, by using Winzip).

  4. Open NetBeans 8.1. First of all, I select "Tools|Options|PHP and put in the PHP 5 Interpeter: "C:\xampp\php\php.exe" and click "OK"

  5. Select : "File | Import project ... | From the ZIP file" I select the ZIP file "my_project.zip", and the "Folder: C:\projects" and proceed to import the project

  6. When importing is finished, select: "File | Close All Projects"

  7. Then "File | Open project ..." and select the new project

  8. Finally, select "File | Project Properties" and in the "Sources" option make sure that the path: "Project folder" and "Source folder" are the same. In my case: "C:\projects\my_project"

In Netbeans: Project Properties, Ignored Folders, include the project's vendor folder. Any errors Netbeans finds there can be ignored.

Also, in project properties, select Frameworks, Symfony2. Check "Enabled" and "Ignore app/cache Directory". With Symfony already installed, you do not need an entry in Netbean's Tools, Options, PHP, Frameworks..., Symfony2 Installer. Be sure that "Ignore cache Directory by Default" is checked.
