Error with PHP Code Sniffer and PhpStorm

Question

17:18   PHP Code Sniffer
        No response from /home/my_user/.composer/vendor/squizlabs/php_codesniffer/bin/phpcs after 5000 ms
        Disable inspection

Any idea? I've tried a lot of solutions like disable xdebug, increment response time.

It does not work in PhpStorm but works in the terminal.

3.2.0. I've tried to install it with apt-get instead composer and it works. I think it is a permission issue. — Juan Wilde, Dec 13 '17 at 18:33
So ..3.2.0 works for you? because there were few complains for this version not working in PhpStorm... (e.g. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-39190 and few other) — LazyOne, Dec 13 '17 at 18:39
Yes. Installing it with apt-get instead composer worked for me — Juan Wilde, Dec 14 '17 at 08:58

I looked into this problem today and it is caused by a change to the STDIN processing code for PHPCS 3.2.0. I don't know exactly why it looks like STDIN has content but nothing is coming through, but that's what PHPCS sees and so it waits forever. PHPStorm times out after 5 seconds (I think it is, by default).

I've pushed up a change to PHPCS to enforce a short time-out on STDIN and tested this change with PHPStorm, which is now working for me.

If you can use the current master branch for PHPCS, it should work ok. If not, reverting back to 3.1.1 (or earlier) is all you can do until 3.2.1 is released. I'm not sure when that will be just yet.
