[Phpcs] env: php: No such file or directory

[whiteheadrj]

I am stumped.

I have reviewed the config option (http://benmatselby.github.io/sublime-phpcs/#configuration) I have reviewed the common errors in the FAQ in the readme (https://github.com/benmatselby/sublime-phpcs/blob/master/README.md) While similar to https://github.com/benmatselby/sublime-phpcs/issues/116, it isn't quite the same.

OS: MacOS 10.12.16 PHP 5.3.29 PHPMD installed today via composer

I am getting the following output in the console when trying to run phpmd triggered by the save event:

[Phpcs] Project files:
[Phpcs]  Current: /Users/rjwhitehead/Documents/nsaWeb.sublime-project
[Phpcs]  Last Known: /Users/rjwhitehead/Documents/nsaWeb.sublime-project

[Phpcs] MessDetector found 0 errors

However, I can copy and paste the command into the terminal and it works just fine:

$ which phpmd

$ /Users/rjwhitehead/.composer/vendor/bin/phpmd /Users/rjwhitehead/nsaWeb/webroot/globals/utils/dispatch.class.php text codesize,unusedcode

/Users/rjwhitehead/nsaWeb/webroot/globals/utils/dispatch.class.php:5    The class dispatch has 86 fields. Consider redesigning dispatch to keep the number of fields under 15.
/Users/rjwhitehead/nsaWeb/webroot/globals/utils/dispatch.class.php:131  The method getDispatchFromDB() has 198 lines of code. Current threshold is set to 100. Avoid really long methods.

Hopefully, I am missing something silly. Thanks for your help.

Hi there, you may need to set this:

    // Options include:
    // - Sniffer
    // - Fixer
    // - Mess Detector
    //
    // This will prepend the application with the path to php
    // Needed for windows, or anyone who doesn't/can't make phars
    // executable. Avoid setting this if at all possible
    "phpcs_commands_to_php_prefix": [],

[whiteheadrj]

I have modified the phpcs_commands_to_php_prefix setting per your recommendation:

    // The path to the php executable.
    // Needed for windows, or anyone who doesn't/can't make phars
    // executable. Avoid setting this if at all possible
    "phpcs_php_prefix_path": "/usr/local/bin/php",

    // Options include:
    // - Sniffer
    // - Fixer
    // - Mess Detector
    //
    // This will prepend the application with the path to php
    // Needed for windows, or anyone who doesn't/can't make phars
    // executable. Avoid setting this if at all possible
    "phpcs_commands_to_php_prefix": ["Mess Detector"],

I also changed phpmd_executable_path to not have to redirect through a symbolic link.

I am still having the same issue:

@whiteheadrj

I think there is a type in our docs. Try this:

"phpcs_commands_to_php_prefix": ["MessDetector"],

[whiteheadrj]

That solved it. Thanks! I created a pull request to update the doc so that other people don't run into the same issue.

[benmatselby]

@whiteheadrj Sorry about the delay! Thank you for replying and raising the PR
