The Problem

phpcbf complains about missing CodeSniffer but it appears to be missing from its own phar.

My setup

Ubuntu 14.04 using ondrej ppa for PHP 5.6

Here's what I've tried for installation and the output to verify installation

  • sudo pear install PHP_CodeSniffer

    pear list => PHP_CodeSniffer 2.6.0 stable

  • curl -OL https://squizlabs.github.io/PHP_CodeSniffer/phpcbf.phar

    php phpcbf.phar --version => PHP_CodeSniffer version 2.6.0 (stable) by Squiz (http://www.squiz.net)

How I'm running phpcbf

php phpcbf.phar --standard=PSR2 ./MyDir/MyClass.php

PHP Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in phar:///home/myuser/projects/myproject/src/phpcbf.phar/CodeSniffer.php on line 861

Update: Despite the warning, it seems to work fine.

    It looks to be a bug in the phar file. I can replicate it and will look into a fix. In the meantime, you've already PEAR installed PHPCS so you can just use the phpcbf command directly, like you can with the phpcs command. – Greg Sherwood Apr 15 '16 at 06:50
  • Thanks Greg! I'll keep an eye out for the update. – Matt Apr 15 '16 at 11:35
  • Here is the bug report on Github for the issue you're seeing: https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/issues/944 – mkasberg Apr 16 '16 at 00:42

PEAR is way out of date in 2017.

You should be using composer nowadays instead:

composer require squizlabs/php_codesniffer --dev

Then run like:

vendor/bin/phpcs ...

To get more details about PEAR timeout, there is RFC about PEAR removal for PHP 8.
