Bin Folder Path Issue

[pokoot]

Im trying to install phpcs using composer. So i call phpcs by ./vendor/bin/phpcs on my root folder and works perfectly fine.

When using gulp-phpcs I get an error Error: Command failed: The system cannot find the path specified.

pipe(phpcs({
            bin: 'vendor/bin/phpcs',
            standard: 'PSR2',
            warningSeverity: 0
        }))

The reason I call via composer because phpcs is installed on different environments like windows and unix servers and etc.

Anything i can do to make this work? Or how should I call the right path? or am i just missing something.

Where do the gulp file lives? Could you provide a draft of directories structure of your project?

As for composer, I've used it with gulp-phpcs in one of my projects and it works fine. Here is the gulp file: https://github.com/Mibew/mibew/blob/master/src/gulpfile.js#L59

phpcs lives in my project relative path which is ./vendor/bin/phpcs. Take note of the ./

[JustBlackBird]

if you have the following directories structure:

project_root\
    gulpfile.js
    ...
    vendor\
        bin\
        phpcs\

and you run gulp from the project_root it should works fine. Check the gulp file I've provide you in the last comment.

May be you do something with cwd in the gulp file or run the gulp from another place?

[JustBlackBird]

@pokoot Do you still have the problems with you gulp file?

[JustBlackBird]

The problem is not reproducible and seems to be invalid.

I also have this problem.

Directory structure:

gulpfile.js
...
\vendor
    \bin
        phpcs

Gulp code:

gulp.task('php_cs', function() {
    return gulp.src(['src/**/*.php'])
        // Validate files using PHP Code Sniffer
        .pipe(phpcs({
            bin: 'vendor/bin/phpcs',
            standard: 'PSR2',
            warningSeverity: 0
        }))
        // Log all problems that was found
        .pipe(phpcs.reporter('log'));
});

Results:

Using gulp-phpcs 1.0.0

[JustBlackBird]

Did you try to use ./vendor/bin/phpcs as phpcs bin? Also, as I see you use windows. So, did not you try to use .\\vendor\\bin\\phpcs as bin option?

[PhantomWatson]

Code:

bin: './vendor/bin/phpcs',

Result:

Error: Cannot find "./vendor/bin/phpcs"

Code:

bin: '.\\vendor\\bin\\phpcs',

Result:

Error: Cannot find ".\vendor\bin\phpcs"

It worked fine before updating from version 0.7 to 1.0.

[JustBlackBird]

Yep, I finally found it!

The problem is in files extensions. As I see, composer creates vendor\bin\phpcs.bat on windows instead of just vendor\bin\phpcs. Normally windows cmd resolves command.bat to command. At the same time, node.js child_process.spawn does not use shell to spawn PHPCS process, so no resolving is done.

As a temporary workaround you can specify .\\vendor\\bin\\phpcs.bat as bin option. Does it work for you, @PhantomWatson?

[JustBlackBird]

Moved to #21 because it's not related with the original @pokoot issue.

[PhantomWatson]

Aha! .\\vendor\\bin\\phpcs.bat works for me!

Thanks for getting back to me, and thanks for your work on this project!

[JustBlackBird]

You're welcome, I glad that the workaround works for you.

Actually, I need some time to figure out how to fix real problem without any workarounds. You can watch the progress in #21 (I've moved your problem there).
