Unable to add WordPress coding standard to PHPCS

[nixcms]

This repository was really helpful for me! But now I have an error connected with setting up WordPress coding standard! :bangbang: This code has worked before but not it is broken:

WordPress standard installation part

WordPress standard usage part

I think it could occur because of changes in your repository https://github.com/WordPress-Coding-Standards/WordPress-Coding-Standards

We couldn't add WordPress coding standard to PHPCS using this code:

- git clone git://github.com/WordPress-Coding-Standards/WordPress-Coding-Standards.git $(pear config-get php_dir)/PHP/CodeSniffer/Standards/WordPress
- phpcs --config-set installed_paths $(pear config-get php_dir)/PHP/CodeSniffer/Standards/WordPress
- phpcs --config-set default_standard WordPress

We've tried this coding standard with these versions of the PHPCS:

• PHP_CodeSniffer version 2.0.0RC1 (beta)
• PHP_CodeSniffer version 1.5.4

## PHP_CodeSniffer
  - pear install PHP_CodeSniffer-2.0.0RC1
  - phpenv rehash

or

## PHP_CodeSniffer
  - pear install PHP_CodeSniffer
  - phpenv rehash

We've saved our previous WordPress standard as a temporary solution. It works for us now:

 # - git clone git://github.com/WordPress-Coding-Standards/WordPress-Coding-Standards.git $(pear config-get php_dir)/PHP/CodeSniffer/Standards/WordPress
  - wget --no-check-certificate https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35151471/WordPressCodingStandards.zip
  - unzip WordPressCodingStandards.zip
  - mv WordPress $(pear config-get php_dir)/PHP/CodeSniffer/Standards/WordPress
  - rm -f WordPressCodingStandards.zip

  - phpcs --config-set installed_paths $(pear config-get php_dir)/PHP/CodeSniffer/Standards/WordPress
  - phpcs --config-set default_standard WordPress

  - phpenv rehash
  # PHPCS version
  - phpcs --version
  # Installed PHPCS coding standards
  - phpcs -i

Could anyone suggest what happened and how to fix it? I want use this repository regulary in order to get correct WordPress coding standards, but it is impossible now. Any help / advice is really appreciated! Thanx in advance!

The reason is likely that structure now has multiple standards in subfolders.

Had you looked at updated how to use section? --config-set installed_paths is now (highly) recommended way to configure. It makes multiple standards play nicely and removes the need to put them inside PHPCS folder.

Good Morning, I have the same problem too. I can not configure Wordpress Coding Standard in PHPCodeSniffer. Doing the commando 'phpcs -i' I can not see it.

I know that you have changed the folder structure, you give us a couple of practical examples to understand how it works now?

Thank you.

[Rarst]

Again, had you been through updated how to use section in readme? :)

PS I screwed up with link in comment above, oops, fixed

'phpcs config-set installed_paths' in Windows is not working.

[Rarst]

Your screenshot shows you are trying to run it on pear, not phpcs?.. :)

[Impesud]

Sorry :D. The final solution in Windows is 'phpcs --config-set installed_paths ../wpcs'

Thanks you.

[Rarst]

Not sure if OP has it resolved as well?..

@nixcms Can you confirm this is working for you as well

[GaryJones]

My bad - didn't look closely enough at the names / icons.

Re-opening for confirmation.

@fulldecent Yes, it works, @Rarst Thanks for the explanation.
