[jgen] PHPcs: spaces, tabs, indenting... and PHPStorm

[Javier Gómez]

Hi,

I've just installed PHPStorm and activated the PHPcs with the sniffers
here https://github.com/joomla/joomla-platform/tree/staging/build/phpcs.
It's awesome!!!

But I'm getting this phpcs response "Spaces must be used to indent
lines; tabs are not allowed".
As far as I know in joomla we use Tabs and not spaces as written here:
http://developer.joomla.org/standards/ch02s03.html

In the previous link says:
"Source code editors or Integrated Development Environments (IDE’s)
such as Eclipse must have the tab-stops for indenting measuring four
(4) spaces in length."

Does any one know how to do that in PHPStorm?

Thanks a lot

In PhpStorm's preferences, there should be an option to define the code
style. As far as I know, you have to manually define the options (I.e. No
way to link it to the PHPCS rules and auto-format it), but once you're set
up, there's very few issues with PhpStorm's auto formatter.

The "tabs" error is generated from within phpcs and you can add the
following commandline parameter to auto-convert tabs to 4 spaces:
--tab-width=4

On a side note, that phpcs joomla profile on github is not correct and
does not follow the newly defined coding standards (seems to use the
old coding standards)

Thanks, Marius

Nope, seems that this sniffer is up to date and okay. It checks for
tabs and not for whitespaces as you can see here:
https://github.com/joomla/joomla-platform/blob/staging/build/phpcs/Joomla/Sniffs/WhiteSpace/DisallowSpaceIndentSniff.php

I will continue searching. Thanks.

Ok solved. There must be a cache in the IDE that stores the Coding
Standard.
The solution is to choose any other coding standard. Save. Go back and
choose the Joomla! coding Standard. And Save. That should work.

By the way, if there is any sniffer not up to date please report it
here so we can check it.

Hi Javier i am aslo facing problems wiht phpstorm + phpcs.

The code editor displays  "tabs must be used to indent lines; spaces are not allowed"

even if i use tabs to indent lines.

Any idea how to fix this editor problem??

[prasath nadarajah]

If you open the same file using notepad++ and then indent it with tabs.

The code editor in the IDE correct itself and does not display the error

There is a setting in PhpStorm that lets you choose between using an actual tab character or the tab button applying X number of spaces.  You may be running into that issue.  Try going back into the config and changing that option.

Try menu

File->setting->

Also I'm learning:

File --> Settings --> IDE Settings --> Editor

Set "strip trailing spaces on save" to "modified"....would have saved a commit if I had that enabled.

File --> Settings --> IDE Settings --> Editor --> Appearance

"Show whitespace" - when enabled it shows a graphical representation of the tab charector so you know your using tabs and not spaces....[19 days after the fact for me]
