phpcs and phpcbf configuration isn't read

[bricebou]

Hi,

I'm trying to understand how to use phpcs and phpcbf (introduced by @gbprod : #178) with null-ls and I'm completely lost...

It seems the per-project PHP_CodeSniffer config file isn't read... I've tried with a phpcs.xml or a phpcs.xml.dist but both aren't working : if I change the standard, if I ignore some folders... these modifications aren't taken into account, even If I quit and reopen NeoVim...

Thanks in advance for your help !

For example, I'm building a simple Symfony project but the root PHP_CodeSniffer configuration file isn't read. Whatever standard I specify, the warnings stay the same, even if I restart nvim.

If I run my globally installed phpcs or the ~/.local/share/nvim/mason/packages/phpcs/phpcs, the config file is well read...

It sounds like it may not be spawning the program in the correct directory. Have you tried enabling debug mode and seeing if the output matches what you expect?

After further testing and investigating, I noticed that the null-ls phpcs/phpcbf was looking upper in the folder structure...

I had something like this:

main
-- .git
-- ...
-- php project
--- .git
--- composer.json
--- phpcs.xml(.dist)
--- index.php

And null-ls wasnt looking within the php project folder but at the main folder...

You can either modify how null-ls detects its root directory or override the source's spawn directory.
