WordPress-Coding-Standards: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught PHP_CodeSniffer\Exceptions\RuntimeException: trim(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /srv/vendor/squizlabs/php_codesniffer/src/Files/LocalFile.php on line 32 in

You may need to add minimum-stability: dev as well.

I can’t use develop

Why not?

Because it brings in in-progress / unstable code into my repo, I don’t want to chase things down if something is not working as it should. But if above fix is implemented and its released, I know what changes I am bringing in, and don’t have to worry about it, as have been using 2.3.0 long time now.

@jrfnl Getting there. So dev-[branch-name](/[some-feature]) is a Composer syntax/feature, where is is checking for the string dev-?

I think this page of the Composer documentation may help: https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/aliases.md

You rock, by the way.

Always nice to hear 😉

So, you can use develop, but you choose not to.

You could, of course, pull in a particular commit: either the head of develop as it is today, or find where the fix was added that you’re affected by and use that commit instead - that way the list of changes is fixed.

The three items you highlighted were fixed in #1984 and #1985. So https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards/commit/2fdc57f70b8d1c027b6393362226b880ef88f087 would include those fixes.

Here is the list of changes from 2.3.0 to 2fdc57f.

And the list of changes from 2fdc57f to the head of develop.

I think it’s this one: #2035

You can just search the issues for the relevant information 😉

Thanks, but there is nothing there which resolves my issue, I can’t use develop and I see no solution out there which resolves it.

I did some quick search and found no helpful solutions / answers, that’s why asked you.

Anyway, I understand the reasoning, so no problem.

Closing as duplicate. This has been asked and answered multiple times before.

Could you please point me to relevant questions where you have provided an answer? I could benefit from those replies as well. Thanks.
