Any chance you can provide the code that you were running phpcs on at the time? This error would be caused by a specific piece of code, so I really need it to be able to debug it.

We run CS on every build with ANT.

Sorry, I meant the code in the file that causes the error. Are you able to

Sorry, I meant the code in the file that causes the error. I am not able to reproduce this error on my tests files so I will need the code that is causing you a problem to be able to fix this. The error cannot simply be suppressed because it points t an error during tokenizing so it is probably causing other errors or stopping errors from being reported correctly. Can you run phpcs directly on the file and use the -v option. This will print the file being processed and will let you determine which file is causing the problem (the error will be shown directly after the file's name is printed). You can then run phpcs directly on the file to confirm. If you can provide me with the content of that file I can fix the issue. If you can't (commercial in confidence maybe) then at least I can provide you with some more steps to help me fix this.

Ok, I've found those files. Here you are error message for the file: Processing functions.js.

DONE in < 1 second (0 errors, 0 warnings) ------ And all the files that caused the error were empty (for example, function.js with no code). So I think now it's pretty obvious what is the problem now.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better. The error was only generated when checking a JS file with absolutely no content (not even a newline character).
