Issue with running on PHP 8

[TeBenachi]

When I tested a theme that requires PHP 8, the sniffer kept running without any results. The sniffer also kept running when testing with Twenty Twenty-Two.

It did not seem to matter what minimum PHP version I picked (Screenshot).

The sniffer ran without any issues on PHP 7.4.1.

I have the Local by Flywheel on Mac. I tested Twenty Twenty-Two on WordPress 5.9.1 on Firefox and Chrome.

Do you have any errors in the debug.log? And in the inspector console?

The plugin wasn't tested with PHP8, and I'm not sure if anybody stepped up to maintain it.

I did not see errors in the console but the debug log shows this error.

Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported
Line : 420

This is due to the fact that the packages haven't been updated in a long while. I've pushed the branch with the updates: https://github.com/WPTT/theme-sniffer/tree/update-packages you can try this.

I've tried on PHP 8.1 and it seems to be working (the whole admin is completely broken because WP core is not compatible with 8.1 yet).

Thank you for working on this so quickly! When I tried to install it via git, I get the error message below. If it isn't too much trouble, would you mind sharing in zip?

Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires dealerdirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer ^0.5.0 -> satisfiable by dealerdirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer[v0.5.0].
    - dealerdirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer v0.5.0 requires php ^5.3|^7 -> your php version (8.1.3) does not satisfy that requirement.

I just cloned the repo, but I am not able to check it.

@dingo-d how can i check the GitHub version instead of using the ZIP file?

[kafleg]

Sorry, I mistakenly closed it. But i reopened now.

Try removing the composer.lock file and installing it from the scratch. Should be working then.

@kafleg For GH version, you'll need to clone the repo, checkout the branch I've pushed, delete composer.lock, and then run composer install and npm install && npm run build.

That should make it work.

I’ve been trying for a few days but I still can’t seem to build a zip. I’m not entirely sure but node-gyp might be causing the build issue.

On what command does this happen? I think I manually bundled the zip file 🤔

[TeBenachi]

Ha! I didn’t think about bundling manually 🙂 I will try that next time.

It fails at npm install.

[dingo-d]

Weird, should work on node 16 (it worked for me 😅)
