PHP Fatal error: Class 'RemoteWebElement' not found in - facebook

Question

I have a symfony project that run normal in command line:
php app/console server:run
But, I want to run inside PhpStorm. When I try to do this, it gives the fatal error:
PHP Fatal error: Class 'RemoteWebElement' not found in
I already tried to look the oficial documentation of the classe:
http://facebook.github.io/php-webdriver/classes/RemoteWebElement.html. But I didn't found information that culd help me.
I also added the compose dependency:
composer require facebook/webdriver
But had no effect!
=======================================
I'll explain step-step how to get this the bug (It will be very long!):
I have:
PHP 5.5.9
PhpStorm 10.0.3
composer 1.0-dev (7117a5775ffdcdfd31bbd52a138a6f9c65e7e3c2) 2016-02-03
So, create a new symfony project (current version 3.0) and add composer dependencies:
symfony new project
cd project
composer update
Then, open this project inside of phpstorm and I configure settings for to run the project:
Settings -> Languages & Frameworks -> PHP
"PHP language level": 5.5
"Interpreter": 5.5.9
Add through plus(+) the PHP folder:
/usr/share/php
Click 'OK'
Now, try to run de project through PhpStorm by the shortcut:
Ctrl+Shif+F10.
Will appear the bug:
PHP Fatal error: Class
'Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Test\WebTestCase' not found in
Solve this by this way inside of PhpStorm:
Settings -> Languages & Frameworks -> PHP -> PHPUnit
Choose: "Use custom autoloader"
And, in the field "Path to script", informe the autoloader's address. For example:
/home/murilo/git/slu/app/autoload.php. Click 'OK'.
Again, try to run de project through PhpStorm by the shortcut:
Ctrl+Shif+F10
Will appear the bug:
PHP Fatal error: Class 'Doctrine\Tests\Common\Cache\CacheTest' not
found in
Solve this through this command inside the project folder:
composer require maslosoft/cachetest:dev-master -n --no-progress
For the last time, try to run de project through PhpStorm by the shortcut:
Ctrl+Shif+F10
Will appear the bug:
PHP Fatal error: Class 'RemoteWebElement' not found in
I'm at this bug.
Please, someone knows how I can overcome this bug? o.O

I struggled with the same exact issue as you have described. After breaking my head for most of the day with this problem, I found the issue.
When you execute the command php app/console server:run in command line, it sets up a server and runs the website. However, when you run the project in PHPStorm, it doesn't actually run it as a server but runs it as a PHPUnit. What you need to do is configure a PHP Web Application in PHPStorm and run that.
Check the image below where I have configured the website. When I run the Web Application, it will run by the url and it will show up in your browser.
