Description: ------------ When using the PHAR on Windows 7 command line CodeSniffer wont detect any issues with malformatted code. Using verbose output I noticed that it seems to be because of no sniffs being registered. Running it on OS X will work but will produce some PHP warnings that may be related to spaces in the path to the PHAR. Test script: --------------- php phpcs.phar -v --standard=PSR1,PSR2 test.php Expected result: ---------------- Registering sniffs in the PSR1 standard... Registering sniffs in the PSR2 standard... DONE (40 sniffs registered) Creating file list... DONE (1 files in queue) Actual result: -------------- Registering sniffs in the standard... Registering sniffs in the standard... DONE (0 sniffs registered) Creating file list... DONE (1 files in queue)

Full output from OS X terminal, including stacktrace, showing the PHP warnings: $ php phpcs.phar -v --standard=PSR1,PSR2 test.php PHP Warning: simplexml_load_file(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity "phar:///Users/mikaeljorhult/Dropbox/Projekt/Brackets%20PHP%20Code%20Quality%20Tools/Source/modules/vendor/phpcs/phpcs.phar/CodeSniffer/Standards/PSR1/ruleset.xml" in phar:///Users/mikaeljorhult/Dropbox/Projekt/Brackets PHP Code Quality Tools/Source/modules/vendor/phpcs/phpcs.phar/CodeSniffer.php on line 516 PHP Stack trace: PHP 1. {main}() /Users/mikaeljorhult/Dropbox/Projekt/Brackets PHP Code Quality Tools/Source/modules/vendor/phpcs/phpcs.phar:0 PHP 2.

In my testing, the OS X issue was only present when using the verbose option, and has been fixed here: https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/commit/e37732cd974198a8e636a90ec 9822e483194770e I still need to look into the Windows problem.

Fix for Win committed here: https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/commit/ed5aed8d3b55b144f1cc8ecddb b240c43a5e4eed
