Key additions include automatic task discovery from package.json, Makefiles, Deno, Composer, just, and go-task without any configuration. The release adds 34 new project types (Bun, Deno, uv, Laravel, Flutter, Terraform, Helm, Hugo, Jekyll, and more) and fixes three long-standing bugs in project type detection for Angular, Python, and Symfony. Monorepo support is improved with subproject-aware lifecycle commands that work across polyglot repositories. New commands include projectile-dashboard for a project overview and projectile-doctor for debugging Projectile's configuration. Smaller additions include TODO/FIXME collection, project-scoped bookmarks, per-command compilation buffers, and optional Embark/Marginalia integration. Notable bug fixes address infinite spinning during async indexing, CMake compile command persistence, and a 2016-era bug where git-ignored files appeared in file completion. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What changed in Projectile 3.3 for detecting project tasks automatically? Projectile 3.3 reads task definitions directly from existing project files instead of requiring manual configuration in projectile-tasks. Out of the box it detects npm scripts (via npm, yarn, pnpm, or bun based on the lock file), Deno tasks, Composer scripts, just recipes, go-task tasks, and Makefile targets, prefixing each with its tool name like npm:build or make:build to avoid collisions. _Teams adopting Projectile for multi-tool repos can track workflow changes like this one on daily.dev._ ### Why didn't Projectile detect Django or Symfony projects correctly before version 3.3? Because pyproject.toml was checked before django, python-poetry, python-pipenv, and python-tox, nearly any Python project with a pyproject.toml matched the generic python-toml type instead, losing its correct file kinds and commands. Symfony detection failed too, since it required an app directory removed in Symfony 3 and a vendor directory that only exists post-install. Version 3.3 fixes both ordering and marker issues. _Developers debugging framework misdetection issues can follow fixes like this via daily.dev._ ### How does Projectile 3.3 improve monorepo and subproject support? Projectile now treats any directory holding its own manifest as a subproject, and every lifecycle command has a subproject-scoped variant, so compiling, testing, or running only affects the nearest subproject rather than the whole repository. Previously, subproject commands only recognized markers of the top-level project's own type, making them useless in polyglot repos; now markers from every registered project type are considered. _Engineers working in polyglot monorepos can stay on top of tooling updates like this through daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Projectile 3.1](https://daily.dev/posts/projectile-3-1-iup9erkpl) · Meta Redux · 4 upvotes · 1 comments - [Projectile 3.0](https://daily.dev/posts/projectile-3-0-fhljzga55) · Meta Redux · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Projectile 3.4](https://daily.dev/posts/projectile-3-4-xdqraspom) · Meta Redux · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Projectile 3.2](https://daily.dev/posts/projectile-3-2-ax6by8jvi) · Meta Redux · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [WebStorm 2025.3: Enhanced Monorepo Support, Framework Improvements, Vitest 4 Support, Multiple Agents in AI Assistant, Remote Debugging, and More](https://daily.dev/posts/webstorm-2025-3-enhanced-monorepo-support-framework-improvements-vitest-4-support-multiple-agent-7f89pbr2m) · JetBrains · 25 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#general-programming](https://daily.dev/tags/general-programming), [#project-management](https://daily.dev/tags/project-management) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/projectile-3-3-mdfynfdcd) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Projectile 3.3","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/projectile-3-3-mdfynfdcd","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/projectile-3-3-mdfynfdcd"},"datePublished":"2026-07-27T11:03:51.880Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T07:14:58.650Z","description":"Projectile 3.3 is released, the fourth release this month for the Emacs project management tool.
