Error running PHPCS TypeError: Invalid Version: undefined

[andy-preston]

I'm getting the following message in my Atom console ever time I try to run linter-phpcs

I assume it's got something to do with Atom's continuous changing of the linter API???

Can confirm that I am seeing the same behaviour.

Can you share your linter-phpcs settings and the output of phpcs --version in a terminal?

[markb-wa]

Certainly.

Output of phpcs --version:

Can you update to the latest version and provide the error if it is still happening?

[andy-preston]

Screenshots are a really unhelpful way of sharing information.

It looks like the error comes from not being able to parse the phpcs version from the executable listed in the Executable Path setting.

I just released a new version (v1.8.1) that might provide a better error with more information that might be helpful.

If this happens again please share the error thrown. It should be something like:
Cannot parse PHPCS version for {Executable Path}: '{version output}'

Can you update to the latest version and provide the error if it is still happening?

Have updated to the latest, and so far so good. Will update if I see the error recur.
