You can use cmder instead of cmd in Webstorm

This is far better option that the actual cmd.

Notes :

There is a problem when the cmd is opened.
Occurs only when the project is on another disk.
The path is not the one of your current project.
You should always cd to set the correct path.

To shortcut the process :

• Open the npm cli
• Right-click on the first line (which is the path of your package.json)
• Left-click on copy path
• Open the cmd
• Go to your project disk like g:
• cd + CTRL + V to set the new path
• CTRL + Z to remove package.json end string
• Enter and you are good to go

Set the environment variable

Set an environment variable called CMDER_ROOT to your root Cmder folder (in my case D:\Program Files (x86)\cmder).
It seems to be important that this does not have quotes around it because they mess with concatenation in the init script.

Change the cmd path in Webstorm

In your Webstorm terminal settings, use "cmd.exe" /k ""%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\init.bat"" as the Shell path.
The double-double-quotes are intentional, as they counteract the missing double quotes in the environment variable.

To shortcut the process :

• CTRL + ALT + S
• Enter the word “terminal” in the search field
• Select the entry “Tools/Terminal”
• Paste "cmd.exe" /k ""%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\init.bat"" in the Shell path
