PhpStorm Can not run PHP Code CodeSniffer

Question

Im trying to use CodeSniffer in PhpStorm.

In settings->PHP->CLI Interpreter I linked to the php.exe Im using https://windows.php.net/ but also tried it with Cygwin and XAMPP.

PhpStorm shows me the right PHP Version 7.2.5 and the php.ini

In the CodeSniffer configuration I selected the phpcs.bat When Im clicking on Validate I just got

Can not run PHP Code

Also added everything to the PATH

Did I miss something?

Answer 1

You should put phpcs.bat and phpcs in your PHP folder - e.g. d:\program\php\phpcs. The CodeSniffer itself should reside in d:\program\php\PEAR\PHP\CodeSniffer - there will be a script autoload.php and a subfolder src.

Then in Settings -> Languages & Frameworks -> PHP -> Code Sniffer you specify the path to phpcs.bat and Validate it.

Then in Settings -> Editor -> Inspections you find the node PHP Code Sniffer validation and enable it. After enabling it you will be able to configure it - specifically choose the coding standard.

This is my phpcs

#!D:\PROGRAM\Inet\Design\php\php.exe
<?php

if (is_file(__DIR__.'/../autoload.php') === true) {
    include_once __DIR__.'/../autoload.php';
} else {
    include_once 'PHP/CodeSniffer/autoload.php';
}

$runner   = new PHP_CodeSniffer\Runner();
$exitCode = $runner->runPHPCS();
exit($exitCode); 

This is my phpcs.bat

@echo off

if "%PHPBIN%" == "" set PHPBIN=D:\PROGRAM\Inet\Design\php\php.exe

This is my PEAR_ENV.reg which I have imported into Windows Registry
