@brothman01 How did you install WordPressCS ? Looks like you didn't answer that question or is "Composer global" your answer ?
If so, there must be a version mismatch as the list of installed standards from phpcs -i
does not match what I'd expect to see when someone is running with WordPressCS develop
as you claim to be.
Can you please run composer global info
and post the output ?
yes composer global
was my answer. I edited the comment to remove the eg but it is not showing on the comment. I ran the command but I think the output is weird:
composer global info
Changed current directory to /Users/bmr/.composer

@brothman01 Well, if that is what the response is, then you don't have WPCS installed via Composer global and I'm not surprised it doesn't work.
I suggest you follow the installation instructions in the README to install it and try again.
@jrfnl
I can use WPCS and have been using it so it is installed. When I execute phpcs index.php --standard="WordPress"
(specifying the WordPress ruleset) it outputs errors so something is installed.
Solution:
I took your advice and took a look at the installation instructions.. I ran
composer global config allow-plugins.dealerdirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer true
and
composer global require --dev wp-coding-standards/wpcs:"^3.0"
so it looks to me like I was either missing that dealerdirect plugin OR running an old version of wpcs so it all works as expected now.
Thanks
I have been using phpcs with wpcs for a while so I am confused here.
Bug Description
What did you expect to happen? What actually happened? I expected it to lint the file. -->
Minimal Code Snippet
When I execute
phpcs index.php --standard="WordPress"
in a terminal I get the error "ERROR: Referenced sniff "PHPCSUtils" does not exist".When I execute
phpcs -i
in a terminal I can see that WordPress is in the installed list. "The installed coding standards are MySource, PEAR, PSR1, PSR2, PSR12, Squiz, Zend, WordPress, WordPress-Core, WordPress-Docs and WordPress-Extra"The code in the file
The code in the php file does not matter because the command cannot be executed.
The PSR2 standard does work, so I do not think the problem is not with the phpcs installation. -->
