5 years ago Hi! Which plugin version are you using? The 0.1.5 version is old and out of date. You should try the 1.0.0-RC1 (https://github.com/WPTRT/theme-sniffer/releases/download/1.0.0-RC1/theme-sniffer.zip). This version has the latest phpcs and the latest wpcs standards built in.
Also the plugin doesn't offer phpcbf capability so this is not the place to ask for this issue. I'd recommend asking it in the WPCS repo.
Aside from that, I don't like to use phpcbf, as it's known to break the formatting when you have deeply nested multidimensional arrays 🙂
This plugin version, when used for WordPress-Core coding standards does not agree with the latest version of phpcs and the WordPress-Core standards installed as a standalone program on my dev site.
Which standard should be used? Seems the two should agree. Since this plugin hasn't been updated in some time, I suspect the standards have gotten out of sync. Need to know which to trust.
And, by the way, phpcbf totally broke my code when trying to "fix" a file. It seems it left out several lines of real code. This isn't exactly relevant to this, but when one tries to use that to fix the errors in the WordPress-Core coding standard as reported by this plugin, one doesn't want code broken!
