PHP Code Sniffer not Picking up File, Class and Function Doc Comments

Question

I'm working on implementing PHPCS into my build scripts and have resolved all ERROR and WARNINGS with relative ease (and a little help from SO :)).

However, I cannot figure out why I'm still getting an ERROR saying the class is missing file, class and function doc comments.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 FOUND 7 ERRORS AFFECTING 7 LINES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
   2 | ERROR | Missing file doc comment
  28 | ERROR | Missing class doc comment
  45 | ERROR | Missing function doc comment
  59 | ERROR | Missing function doc comment
  73 | ERROR | Missing function doc comment
  88 | ERROR | Missing function doc comment
 102 | ERROR | Missing function doc comment
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the PHP class:

<?php
/**

    public static function getReservationUrl()
    {
        $instance = self::getInstanceType();

        return self::$params->get($instance . '_reservation_api_url');
    }

        $instance = self::getInstanceType();

        return self::$params->get($instance . '_rental_api_url');
    }

        return self::$params->get($instance . '_data_cache_api_url');
    }

    public static function getFileSyncUrl()
    {
        $instance = self::getInstanceType();

        return self::$params->get($instance . '_file_sync');
    }

    /**
     * Private utilty class to retrieve current web instance
     * 
     * @return String
     *

    private static function getInstanceType()
    {
        if (!self::$params)
        {
            self::$params = JComponentHelper::getParams('com_custom');
        }

        return self::$params->get('web_instance');
    }
}

Thanks for any help!!

The issue was tied to the ruleset I was using from Joomla. I recently took another stab at getting it to work and the author of the Wiki had updated the article stating you needed to use a specific version of PHP Docs.

Purging the existing install and installing the version listed resolved the issue for me.
