Can't locate phpcs on macOS about vscode-phpcs HOT 12 CLOSED

• Installed plugin
• Installed phpcs globally using composer
• Symlinked /Users/[user]/.composer/vendor/bin/phpcs to /usr/local/bin/phpcs
• Restarted vscode
• Worked!

@Swift-R me too. I has searched solution with Google since yesterday. But nothing help to resolve this problem. And there is not enough detail in the author's docs

from vscode-phpcs.

From what I've read, the issue is with VSCode itself. It doesn't allow extensions to use anything externally anymore.

I was having this same issue. There are two ways I was able to fix:

1. Install dependency on project-level (refer to this README)
2. Fix phpcs installation.

What I mean to fix phpcs installation is that for some reason installing with pear (via this other method) was causing an issue to not load on VSCode, and also break on console.

I installed it globally with composer, and also this installation should be the only one to be pointed on your PATH:

$ where phpcs
> /Users/gabrieloliveira/.composer/vendor/bin/phpcs

Before this, I had the pear installation and two of composer linked to phpcs, for some reason still didn't work. After I removed the pear and composer duplicated entry, VSCode worked successfully.

@Swift-R @oknixus @gwagroves @gabrielboliveira Can you please check whether 0.7.0 fixes your issues?

from vscode-phpcs.

@ikappas looks like it's working now. I've switched back to Atom in the meanwhile for various reasons and it seems that it's working differently. For example, with the exact same code, Atom reports one line having more than 120 characters and a missing namespace while VSCode reports a missing doc comment for a class and a missing blank line before the tags in a doc comment in a method.

Edit: Never mind, I forgot to set the standard to PSR2. It's still not showing the line too long warning though. Another configuration?

@Swift-R Are you using global phpcs or project specific with composer?

from vscode-phpcs.

Global

from vscode-phpcs.

@Swift-R I have switched to using stdIn instead of file parsing and setup utf8 encoding similarly to Atom in v.0.8.0. So I am closing this issue and feel free to test 0.8.0 until it is released!

This is also an issue for me by the way. I'm running Version 1.10.2 (1.10.2), and get the error phpcs: Unable to locate phpcs. Please add phpcs to your global path or use composer depency manager to install it in your project locally..

I tried something akin to @gwagroves' fix, so that it now looks like this:

But unfortunately I still get this error.

@ikappas I'm having the same problem. How can we help test 0.8.0 before it's oficially released with VSCode?

from vscode-phpcs.

ok it needs to be globally installed via composer for the current versions of VSCode to see it.

Just run:

include_once "/usr/share/pear/PHP/CodeSniffer/autoload.php";
