spawn ENOENT

[Cipa]

Just installed and the console opens every time I open a php file.

Here is what I see when I start atom by clicking index.php in a project.
Atom 0.122.0/ MaxOs 10.9.4

Any ideas?

Thanks

See common errors, and if you think your problem is new then reply and I'll reopen this issue. I'm betting it's steelbrain/linter#150 though. You do have phpcs installed, right?

[Cipa]

Hi,

I have phpcs installed

pear install PHP_CodeSniffer
pear/PHP_CodeSniffer is already installed and is the same as the released version 1.5.4
install failed

and the problem seems like it's similar to the one you mentioned
I get an Uncaught Error: spawn ENOENT

Thanks

[dmnd]

Did you try opening Atom from the command line as described in steelbrain/linter#150?

[Cipa]

Yes, I get the same errors

tried both
atom Dropbox/Sites/startup/

and

cd Dropbox/Sites/startup/
atom

[dmnd]

ok, reopening

[Cipa]

Thx, let me know if you need more details

[patrickmaciel]

I get the same error... I'm giving up.

Fixed by #30

[Arcanemagus]

Are you sure this was fixed in #30?

I am now getting the following on v1.0.1:

spawn phpcs ENOENT
Error: spawn phpcs ENOENT
  at exports._errnoException (util.js:734:11)
  at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (child_process.js:1035:32)
  at child_process.js:1127:20
  at process._tickCallback (node.js:357:13)

However no further information is being shown in the console.

@Arcanemagus it means that phpcs binary wasn't found in your $PATH. You can fix it by giving it the exact location to PHPCS in settings

[Arcanemagus]

It looks like even though phpcs is in the $PATH, it needs to be explicitly told where it is on Windows.

PS C:\Users\Arcanemagus> where.exe phpcs
C:\php5\phpcs
C:\php5\phpcs.bat
PS C:\Users\Arcanemagus> phpcs --version
PHP_CodeSniffer version 2.3.2 (stable) by Squiz (http://www.squiz.net)
PS C:\Users\Arcanemagus> C:\php5\phpcs.bat --version
PHP_CodeSniffer version 2.3.2 (stable) by Squiz (http://www.squiz.net)

Setting the executable path to the full C:\php5\phpcs.bat causes it to work. I'm guessing it is simply trying phpcs and is not getting automatically expanded to phpcs.bat for some reason.

I think that's a nodejs bug for windows. nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#2318

Subscribed, thanks 😉.

Thanks @steelbrain. I just did:

sudo apt-get install php-codesniffer

But should warn that too for the user in the error alert.
