Using Jenkins and Php Code Sniffer

I'm trying to use the Php Code Sniffer plugin in Jenkins. It generates a checkstyle.xml file but there are no errors inside, and I know that I should have.

Here's the containt of my checkstyle.xml : 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<checkstyle version="1.5.0RC2">
</checkstyle>

My build.xml file for Jenkins is : 

<target name="phpcs" >
  <exec executable="phpcs">
    <arg line="--report=checkstyle 
 --report-file=${project.basedir}/build/logs/checkstyle.xml
 --standard=Zend
 ${project.basedir}/*.php" />
  </exec>
 </target>

And when i do it in command line, I have a different result. My command : 

phpcs --report=checkstyle --report-file=checkstyle.xml --standard=Zend *.php

It generates the same checkstyle.xml with no errors, and a phpcs-checkstyle.tmp which contains the errors.

How can I do to have the results with the errors in my checkstyle.xml file ?

Thanks.

  • I think your problem is that you are suffering from this bug: http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=19930

    The bug only occurs in the RC version you are using.

    Reverting to the current stable version (1.4.5) should get things working again for you.
