Codacy PHP_CodeSniffer

This is the docker engine we use at Codacy to have PHP_CodeSniffer support. You can also create a docker to integrate the tool and language of your choice! See the codacy-engine-scala-seed repository for more information.

Usage

You can create the docker by doing:

docker build -t codacy-codesniffer-base .
sbt docker:publishLocal

The docker is ran with the following command:

docker run -it -v $srcDir:/src  <DOCKER_NAME>:<DOCKER_VERSION>

Test

We use the codacy-plugins-test to test our external tools integration. You can follow the instructions there to make sure your tool is working as expected.

Generating the documentation

Update the versions in composer.json and run:

sbt "runMain codacy.codesniffer.docsgen.GeneratorMain"

This will create updated patterns.json, description.json and the individual documentation Markdown files.

CodeSniffer configuration file

PHP CodeSniffer can be configured by adding a phpcs.xml file to the source code.

Currently, the tool supports this configuration file except from one feature - setting installed_paths: <config name="installed_paths" />
