Can't get gulp-phpcbf to work! Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

I AM able to run phpcbf from the terminal though with the following command:

$ (Project Folder) lib/vendor/composer/bin/phpcbf --standard="WordPress" src/test.php

Result:

Changing into directory /path/to/project/src
Processing test.php [PHP => 945 tokens in 193 lines]... DONE in 36ms (0 fixable violations)
No fixable errors were found
Time: 70ms; Memory: 5.75Mb

I have composer installed in my project directory in:

path/to/project/lib/vendor/composer

I'm also using gulp-phpcs and it seems to be working fine, I get an output of problems. I've also got the WP coding standards installed, although gulp-phpcbf fails with any standard.

PHP Codesniffer and the WP Standards seem to be installed fine, as they also work with gulp-phpcs. I'm on Ubuntu.

Here's my gulp task:

gulp.task( 'phpcbf', function() {
    return gulp.src(['src/**/*.php']) 
        .pipe(plugins.phpcbf({
            bin: 'lib/vendor/composer/bin/phpcbf',
            standard: 'WordPress'
            //warningSeverity: 0
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest(['src/']));
});

I get the following error:

events.js:141
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^
  Error: /bin/sh -c lib/vendor/composer/bin/phpcbf --standard="WordPress"

  - Command failed: /bin/sh -c lib/vendor/composer/bin/phpcbf --standard="WordPress"

    internal/child_process.js:817:16

  - child_process.js:211 Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit
    internal/child_process.js:211:5

Some kind of permissions problem? Why can't gulp execute the phpcbf script?

Not sure where to go from here. Thanks for any help!

Hi! This is a really great package, very handy!

I'm running into a problem when trying to use this with gulp watch. Basically, gulp-phpcbf retriggers itself when writing out the changed files, so it just keeps running again and again. Do you have any ideas on how to be able to utilize phpcbf with gulp watch?

Here's my relevant code:

gulp.task('phpcbf', function() {
    return gulp.src('app/**/*.php')
        .pipe(phpcbf({
            bin: 'phpcbf',
            standard: 'PSR2',
            warningSeverity: 0
        })
        .pipe(gulp.dest('app'));
});

gulp.task('watch', function() {
    gulp.watch('app/**/*.php', ['phpcbf']);
});

Thanks!

Hi there,

Awesome tool, making good use of it so far. Thanks for you efforts.

I've noticed that on large code bases, the following error is logged and the files not 'fixed' as a result:
{ [Error: stdout maxBuffer exceeded.]
name: 'Error',
message: 'stdout maxBuffer exceeded.',
stack: 'Error: stdout maxBuffer exceeded.\n at Socket. (child_process.js:699:13)\n at Socket.emit (events.js:95:17)\n at Socket. (stream_readable.js:765:14)\n at Socket.emit (events.js:92:17)\n at emitReadable (_stream_readable.js:427:10)\n at emitReadable (_stream_readable.js:423:5)\n at readableAddChunk (_stream_readable.js:166:9)\n at Socket.Readable.push (_stream_readable.js:128:10)\n at Pipe.onread (net.js:529:21)',
showStack: false,
showProperties: true,
plugin: 'gulp-phpcbf' }

Is there a way to set 'maxBuffer' through your tool's settings? If not, consider it a feature request!

Thanks again.

Hey there,
Thanks for doing this; it's pretty cool. =)

So I'm using this for a WordPress project. When I run this task it completes; however, no changes are made, even though, PHPCS reports code issues. If I uncomment the gulp.dest stream, the files are sent to the src folder that are defined within the phpSource variable I set. So it seems like it's doing mostly what it should; but I don't see it fixing anything. Thoughts? I noted this with the Standard from your config and also the 'WordPress' config option set as well.

gulp.task('phpcbf', function () {
  return gulp.src( phpSource)
  .pipe(phpcbf({
    bin: vendors+'composer/bin/phpcbf',
    standard: 'WordPress',
    warningSeverity: 0
  }))
  .on('error', gutil.log)
    .pipe( notify( { message: 'phpcs task complete', onLast: true } ) )
    // .pipe(gulp.dest('src'));
});
