Error massage: spawn ENOTDIR

[jefiedler]

Hey, I set the executablesFolder in the settings as relative path or as path and get the error message spawn ENTODIR.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Set Executables folder to: /Users/jonaseliasfiedler/dev/subfolder/workspace-folder/cake/framework/Vendor/bin/phpcs
2. Set the Sniff standard to: /Users/jonaseliasfiedler/dev/subfolder/workspace-folder/phpcs.xml.dist
3. Opened a file from the project and saved it.
4. See the error spawn ENTODIR

Expected behavior The file is scanned and the errors and warnings are displayed.

Environment

• OS: macOS Catalina 10.15.6
• VSCode version: 1.51.1
• PHP CLI version: 7.1.3
• squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer version: 3.5.8 (global installed)

Extension settings

{
    "phpSniffer.executablesFolder": "/Users/jonaseliasfiedler/dev/subfolder/workspace-folder/cake/framework/Vendor/bin/phpcs",
    "phpSniffer.autoDetect": true,
    "phpSniffer.standard": "/Users/jonaseliasfiedler/dev/subfolder/workspace-folder/phpcs.xml.dist"
}

Additional context I would be very grateful if there is a solution. I have been trying to solve the whole thing for 4 days. My hope is, that I can use your extension. Otherwise I will have to switch to SublimeText, which I don't want to do. Since I love VSCode. I also felt that your extension is the only one that is still being developed and supported for phpcs for VSCode.

Thank you for the bug report. It looks like it is a misconfiguration with regards to the phpSniffer.executablesFolder setting. As per the README: "The folder where both phpcs and phpcbf executables are", so for your use case, the correct settings would be:

 {
-    "phpSniffer.executablesFolder": "/Users/jonaseliasfiedler/dev/subfolder/workspace-folder/cake/framework/Vendor/bin/phpcs",
+    "phpSniffer.executablesFolder": "/Users/jonaseliasfiedler/dev/subfolder/workspace-folder/cake/framework/Vendor/bin/",
     "phpSniffer.autoDetect": true,
     "phpSniffer.standard": "/Users/jonaseliasfiedler/dev/subfolder/workspace-folder/phpcs.xml.dist"
 }

Thanks for the quick help. Now I don't get the error anymore. But nothing is scanned after I save the file. Maybe it is also because of the workspace I have, or cakePHP... Thanks anyway.
