FileCommentSniff error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting ')'

[shinobu]

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting ')' in var/www/html/OntoWiki/applications/tests/CodeSniffer/Standards/Ontowiki/Sniffs/Commenting/FileCommentSniff.php on line 34

The line returning the error was added in 4d94718

it seems the '.' concatenation isn't allowed in phpcs

Which PHP version are you using?

Maybe you could test the following MWE:

<?php
    $copyright = array(
                            1  => "/**\n",
                            2  => " * This file is part of the {@link http://ontowiki.net OntoWiki} project.\n",
                            3  => " *\n",
                            4  => "",
                            5  => " * @license   http://opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php "
                                . "GNU General Public License (GPL)\n",
                            6  => " */",
                           );

var_dump($copyright);

It works for me with PHP 5.6.22-0+deb8u1.

i'm using php 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.17 *edit The MWE works without a problem

[white-gecko]

when do you get the error? make codesniffer?

[shinobu]

yeah through make codesniffer (excluding the filecommentsniff obviously solves the problem) *edit Only executing vendor/bin/phpcs --sniffs=Ontowiki/Commenting/Filecomment / throws the same error

the issue as been fixed between now and 4d94718
