Uncaught Error: Class 'Symfony\CS\Config\Config' not found

Question

I've been struggling with this all day. I got brought in to a new app and they require php-cs-fixer to be ran on all files. The project has a .php_cs file in it, but I couldn't get it work in sublime text 3 nor could I get vscode to do it.

The command runs but I get the error:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Class 'Symfony\CS\Config\Config' not found in C:\dev\code\.php_cs:63

Here is the .php_cs file

<?php

$finder = Symfony\Component\Finder\Finder::create()
    ->files()
    ->in(__DIR__)
    ->exclude('vendor')
    ->exclude('resources/views')
    ->exclude('storage')
    ->exclude('public')
    ->notName("*.txt")
    ->ignoreDotFiles(true)
    ->ignoreVCS(true);

$fixers = [

    '-php_closing_tag',

    'ordered_use',
];

return Symfony\CS\Config\Config::create()
    ->fixers($fixers)
    ->finder($finder)
    ->setUsingCache(true);

I can run the file manually by going to the cmd prompt and running

php-cs-fixer fix .\Controller.php

And it does what it's supposed to, I think with a default .php_cs file. Driving me bats. :)

Answer 1

Problem is we were trying to use an older version of php-cs-fixer and it didn't function correctly with our version of php.

Fix was to update to php-cs-fixer v2.*
