using phpcs withink docker container with syntastic

[sandrodz]

I've phpcs setup inside docker container, with alias in .zshrc phpcs works like a command on machine.

in .zshrc

alias phpcs='docker    run -it --rm -v `pwd`:/app phpcs'

in .vimrc

let g:syntastic_php_checkers = ['php', 'phpcs']
let g:syntastic_php_phpcs_args = '--standard=PSR2 -n'

But inside php file I get:

Syntastic version: 3.8.0-14 (Vim 800, Darwin)
Info for filetype: php
Global mode: active
Filetype php is active
The current file will be checked automatically
Available checker: php
Currently enabled checker: php

is there a way to make this setup work?

Aliases won't work. You have to either write a wrapper script and point g:syntastic_php_phpcs_exec to it, or set g:syntastic_php_phpcs_exe (not exec) like this:

let g:syntastic_php_phpcs_exe = 'docker run -it --rm -v "$(pwd)":/app phpcs'

The first approach (a wrapper script) is preferred.

@lcd047 I tried your suggestion:

let g:syntastic_php_phpcs_exe = 'docker run -it --rm -v "$(pwd)":/app phpcs'
let g:syntastic_php_checkers = ['php', 'phpcs']
let g:syntastic_php_phpcs_args = '--standard=PSR2 -n'

but I still get:

Syntastic version: 3.8.0-14 (Vim 800, Darwin)
Info for filetype: php
Global mode: active
Filetype php is active
The current file will be checked automatically
Available checker: php
Currently enabled checker: php

Is there something else that needs to be done? reloaded?

[lcd047]

Like I said: the preferred way is to do it with a wrapper script. Try that first. There are many problems with just changing the exe.

[sandrodz]

@lcd047 okay you were right. But I don't see error notifications...

let g:syntastic_php_checkers = ['php', 'phpcs']
let g:syntastic_php_phpcs_exec = '/usr/local/bin/phpcs'
let g:syntastic_php_phpcs_args = '--standard=PSR2 -n'

/usr/local/bin/phpcs with x rights:

#!/bin/bash
docker run -it --rm -v "$(pwd)":/app phpcs "$@"

Syntastic version: 3.8.0-14 (Vim 800, Darwin)
Info for filetype: php
Global mode: active
Filetype php is active
The current file will be checked automatically
Available checkers: php phpcs
Currently enabled checkers: php phpcs

Problem now is that it doesn't show errors. I ran phpcs directly on the file and got many errors. But within vim nothing is displayed.

Maybe syntastic is not passing file name correctly to container?

[lcd047]

You can enable debugging: set g:syntastic_debug to 3, run the checker, then run :mes.

Does this log make any sense to you?

okay removing t worked:

#!/bin/bash
docker run -i --rm -v "$(pwd)":/app phpcs "$@"

the input device is not a TTY was the hint

[lcd047]

Does this log make any sense to you?

Absolutely.

syntastic: 29.965899: SyntasticMake: called with options: {'subtype': 'Style', 'errorformat': '%-GFile\,Line\,Column\,Type\,Message\,Source\,Severity% .%#,"%f"\,%l\,%c\,%t%*[a-zA-Z]\,"%m"\,%*[a-zA-Z0-9_.-]\,%*[0-9]%.%#', 'makeprg': '/usr/local/bin/phpcs --standard=PSR2 -n --report=csv src/WeAreDe/Tbc Pay/TbcPayProcessor.php'}

This is the command that got run:

/usr/local/bin/phpcs --standard=PSR2 -n --report=csv src/WeAreDe/Tbc

syntastic: 30.000035: checker output: ['the input device is not a TTY', '']

And this is the output:

the input device is not a TTY

@lcd047 thank you!

I tried to be as descriptive as possible, to help future googlers :)
