atom-beautify & php-cs-fixer

Question

I am a new programmer and I need your help. I'm pretty much new to Atom editor, but setup some nice packages like Atom Beautify. After using it in a html / php file I'm getting the error "Could not find 'php-cs-fixer' . The program may not be installed. The strange thing is, I did install the package php-cs-fixer but nothing happens.

My system is Windows.

Anyone got an idea how I can fix this?

Answer 1

its because you need to install php cs fixer, the atom extension is trying to use it but its not currently installed on your system, install it here: https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer

Answer 2

1. You must have installed "php" usually when installing the Wamp or Xampp servers are installed by default.     

2. Download the file "php-cs-fixer.phar" https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer

3. In the CMD execute this command: php where.exe

4. You get a path, that path copy in: Open Atom Packages / Atom Beautify / Settings / Executables / PHP

5. In the same folder where the php.exe is located copy the file "php-cs-fixer.phar"

6. Redo the previous process with the CMD and the Atom in PHP-CS-Fixer "

Answer 3

I am not sure about in Windows, but on Mac and Linux, I do the following. You may be able to do this with Git Bash in Windows.

Install php-cs-fixer with Homebrew (via PHP-CS-Fixer Instructions)

brew install php-cs-fixer

Confirm php-cs-fixer was installed

which php-cs-fixer

Answer 4

Just run this command in terminal, then it will work perfectly:

$ composer global require friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer

Everything will be fixed!

Answer 5

I suggest you install manually the php-cs-fixer using the following steps:

• You can use yum, apt, and other methods of installing a software or a .exe for windows
• Get the path to the installed binary, for example for me i checked using whereis php-cs-fixer and I got /usr/bin/php-cs-fixer
• Go to Packages > Atom Beautify > Settings > Executables > PHP-CS-FIXER then in the Binary/Script Path give the path of the php-cs-fixer above (/usr/bin/php-cs-fixer)
• Enjoy beautify.

Answer 6

The issue for me was originally installing with composer. Composer does not put a .phar file into the /bin folder.

Download the .phar file (https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer#locally) and place it somewhere explicitly, then put that location in settings->executables->PHP-CS-Fixer path

Answer 7

The manual way did work for me and this how I went about it;

1. I download php-cs-fixer manually.

    $ wget https://cs.symfony.com/download/php-cs-fixer-v3.phar -O php-cs-fixer

or with curl

    $ curl -L https://cs.symfony.com/download/php-cs-fixer-v3.phar -o php-cs-fixer

2. Then I fixed the rights and moved it to the right directory.

    $ sudo chmod a+x php-cs-fixer
    $ sudo mv php-cs-fixer /usr/local/bin/php-cs-fixer

3. Finally, I ran php-cs-fixer and it worked.

1. make an empty folder somewhere. example: C:\Programs\php-cs-fixer
2. run composer require friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer
3. open atom and go to settings -> packages -> atom beautify -> settings -> executables -> php cs fixer input the path there: C:\Programs\php-cs-fixer\vendor\bin\php-cs-fixer.bat
4. optionally: add C:\Programs\php-cs-fixer\vendor\bin to windows env path so you can use it from cli
