Description: ------------ Found a bit of a weird error message in Squiz.WhiteSpace.ControlStructureSpacing that may indicate something fishy is going on. It's telling me "Expected 0 spaces [...]; 0 found." This also affects PSR2.ControlStructures.ControlStructureSpacing which says "Expected 0 spaces after opening bracket; newline found." Steps to reproduce: Run the following on the attached test script. $ phpcs -s --standard=Squiz --sniffs=Squiz.WhiteSpace.ControlStructureSpacing ~/test.php - OR - $ phpcs -s --standard=PSR2 --sniffs=PSR2.ControlStructures.ControlStructureSpacing ~/test.php Test script: --------------- <?php if ( true ) { echo "true is truthy"; } Expected result: ---------------- No output? Actual result: -------------- FILE: /home/dchurch/test.php ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- FOUND 1 ERROR AFFECTING 1 LINE ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- 3 | ERROR | [x] Expected 0 spaces after opening bracket; 0 found | | (Squiz.WhiteSpace.ControlStructureSpacing.SpacingAf terOpenBrace) ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- PHPCBF CAN FIX THE 1 MARKED SNIFF VIOLATIONS AUTOMATICALLY ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- Time: 21ms; Memory: 2.25Mb

The error message was supposed to be "Expected 0 spaces after opening bracket; newline found". This has been fixed here: https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/commit/b024ad84656c37ef5733c6998ebc1e60957b22 77 Thanks for reporting.
