Testing

All rules should be covered by unit tests. Each Test.php class should be accompanied by a Test.inc file to allow for unit testing based upon the PHP_CodeSniffer parent class AbstractSniffUnitTest. You can verify your code by running

vendor/bin/phpunit

Also, verify that the sniffer code itself is written according to the Magento Coding Standard:

vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=Magento2 Magento2/ --extensions=php

ESLint

Prerequisites: Node.js (^12.22.0, ^14.17.0, or >=16.0.0).

You need to run the following command to install all the necessary packages described in the package.json file:

npm install

You can execute ESLint as follows:

npm run eslint -- path/to/analyze

RECTOR PHP

From magento-coding-standard project, you can execute rector php as follows:

vendor/bin/rector process Magento2 Magento2Framework PHP_CodeSniffer --dry-run --autoload-file vendor/squizlabs/php_codesniffer/autoload.php

The rules from rector that are applied are set inside the config file: rector.php

The option --dry-run displays errors found, but code is not automatically fixed.

To run rector for magento projects you need to:

• Specify the magento path and the autoload file for the magento project:

vendor/bin/rector process MAGENTO_PATH --dry-run --autoload-file MAGENTO_AUTOLOAD_FILE

Example:

vendor/bin/rector process magento2ce/app/code/Magento/Cms/Model --dry-run --autoload-file magento2ce/vendor/autoload.php
