2.2.0
PHPCS Config File
If PHP_CodeSniffer is not given a list of files to check and is not given a standard to use, it will now look for a phpcs.xml file in the current directory to figure out what it should do. The phpcs.xml file has the exact same format as a normal ruleset.xml file, so it can also be used as your primary standard. But it should also specify some files and/or directories to process using the new ruleset <file> tags.
Having one of these phpcs.xml files allows you to run the phpcs or phpcbf commands without specifying any command line options and still have them check or fix an entire codebase.
If you are using the phpcs.xml file as your primary standard, the files and directories you specify in there will be ignored if any files or directories are specified on the command line. So you can run phpcs like this:
$ phpcs
Or you can use phpcs.xml as a normal standard:
$ phpcs --standard=phpcs.xml /path/to/file
Auto-Sizing Reports
PHP_CodeSniffer has always allowed you to set a report width so that you can see more output in the screen-based reports. From version 2.2.0, you can tell PHP_CodeSniffer to use as much space as it can by using the --report-width=auto command line argument.
When using auto width, PHP_CodeSniffer will use the entire width of your terminal window to produce report output. If the report doesn't need all that width, PHP_CodeSniffer will only use as much as it needs to print the report without wrapping. Use the command phpcs --config-set report_width auto to use auto-sizing by default, or configure it in your ruleset.
PSR2 Tab Width
The PSR2 standard now includes a tab-width setting of 4 in the ruleset.xml file. PSR2 requires 4 spaces for indenting, so running that standard over tab indented code will now detect, and optionally fix, those tab indents correctly without you needing to specify the --tab-width=4 command line argument.
Other Changes
- Added (hopefully) tastefully used colors to report and progress output for the phpcs command
- Use the --colors command line argument to use colors in output
- Use the command "phpcs --config-set colors true" to turn colors on by default
- Use the --no-colors command line argument to turn colors off when the config value is set
- Added support for using the full terminal width for report output
- Use the --report-width=auto command line argument to auto-size the reports
- Use the command "phpcs --config-set report_width auto" to use auto-sizing by default
- Reports will now size to fit inside the report width setting instead of always using padding to fill the space
- If no files or standards are specified, PHPCS will now look for a phpcs.xml file in the current directory
- This file has the same format as a standard ruleset.xml file
- The phpcs.xml file should specify (at least) files to process and a standard/sniffs to use
- Useful for running the phpcs and phpcbf commands without any arguments at the top of a repository
- Default file paths can now be specified in a ruleset.xml file using the "file" tag
