Hello!
MediaWiki-Codesniffer 0.2.0 is now available for use in your MediaWiki extensions and other projects. Here are the changes since the last release (0.1.0):
* Fixed sniff that checks globals have a "wg" prefix (Divya) * New sniff to detect unused global variables (Divya) * New sniff to detect text before first opening php tag (Sumit Asthana) * New sniff to detect alternative syntax such as "endif" (Vivek Ghaisas) * New sniff to detect unprefixed global functions (Vivek Ghaisas) * New sniff to detect "goto" usage (Harshit Harchani) * Update ignore with some emacs files. (Mark A. Hershberger) * Use upstream codesniffer 2.3.0 (Kunal Mehta) * Make mediawiki/tools/codesniffer pass phpcs (Vivek Ghaisas) * New sniff to check for spacey use of parentheses (Kunal Mehta) * Modify generic pass test with a case of not-spacey parentheses (Vivek Ghaisas) * Make failing tests fail only for specific respective reasons (Vivek Ghaisas) * Change certain errors to warnings (Vivek Ghaisas) * Update ExtraCharacters Sniff to allow shebang (Harshit Harchani)
To upgrade, just update your composer.json to say 0.2.0 and see if your code still passes :) In this release we are now tracking an explicit upstream version (2.3.0), so you may need to update that dependency as well.
Special thanks to Vivek and James F for helping out with the release today!
If you want to set up PHPCS for your project, see the documentation at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Continuous_integration/Entry_points#PHP to configure your repository, and file a bug under #Continuous-Integration-Config to have jenkins configured to run it on patches.
