PHPCS cannot be set to PSR2 by default

I'm trying to set up PHPCS to run with PSR2 by default instead of having to specify it on each run.

I set the default with phpcs --config-set standard PSR2 When I check the configuration, it appears to be set:

$ phpcs --config-show
Using config file: /usr/bin/CodeSniffer.conf

standard: PSR2

When I actually run it on files, it runs as PEAR:

$ phpcs -v transarray.php 
Registering sniffs in the PEAR standard... DONE (28 sniffs registered)
Creating file list... DONE (1 files in queue)
Changing into directory /root
Processing transarray.php [PHP => 136 tokens in 26 lines]... DONE in 2ms  (11 errors, 0 warnings)
...

If I run phpcs --standard=PSR2 ... it works correctly, but I would rather not have to include that every single time I run it.

The code errors reported match the standards in use.

Solution

  • According to the documentation you have to use default_standard as configuration key. So the command must be:

    phpcs --config-set default_standard PSR2
