VIP Go PHPCS Standard for Blockers

This is a ruleset for PHPCS intended to show all known VIP Go incompatible code as errors. This doesn't define any sniffs but references them from other coding standards.

Some useful defaults are set but can be overridden using phpcs flags:

• PHP memory_limit set to 1024M
• Show sniff codes in the report
• Only scan files with a php extension

Installing

Overview

• Install PHPCS and the WordPress Coding Standards
• Add the PHPCS binaries to your PATH
• Install this standard
• Add both the WordPress Coding Standards and this standards to PHPCS

Example

We'll install the above from source to the ~/projects/coding-standards directory. Feel free to change this to the directory of your choice and replace accordingly in the commands below.

Install PHPCS, the WordPress Coding Standards, the VIP Coding Standards, and this standard

mkdir -p cd ~/projects/coding-standards
cd coding-standards
git clone https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer.git phpcs
git clone -b master https://github.com/WordPress-Coding-Standards/WordPress-Coding-Standards.git wpcs
git clone -b master https://github.com/Automattic/VIP-Coding-Standards.git vipcs
git clone -b master https://github.com/Automattic/VIP-Go-PHPCS-Blockers.git vipgoblockerscs

Add PHPCS binaries to your PATH

echo 'export PATH="~/projects/phpcs/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile

If you are using a different shell, adjust the above to use your profile or rc file.

Add all coding standards to PHPCS

cd phpcs
phpcs --config-set installed_paths ../wpcs,../vipcs,../vipgoblockerscs

To use this standard, pass in --standard=VIP-Go-PHPCS-Blockers to your phpcs command.

For example, to scan the PHP code in the current directory using this standard:

phpcs --standard=VIP-Go-PHPCS-Blockers .
