PHP formatting on save difference than with VS Code

[kjvdven]

I have a WordPress project using Roots 9 from Sage. This uses a phpcs.xml to setup PHP Code Sniffer.

Now I want Zed to format my code just like VS Code does, so that people can easily choose their editor. I set up both editors to use PHP Actor as LSP.

Zed with PHP Actor notices it's a Code Sniffer project and makes an PHP Actor settings file, and I do get proper warnings.

As example: I have a rule set to change the indenting to 2 spaces.

  <rule ref="Generic.WhiteSpace.ScopeIndent">
      <properties>
          <property name="indent" value="2"/>
      </properties>
  </rule>

1. If the spacing is wrong I do get a warning from Zed, saying the indenting is wrong
2. If I right click, I can format with Code Sniffer --> I get 2 spaces
3. If I save the file in Zed, the file is formatted --> I get 4 spaces
4. If I save the file in VS Code the file is formatted --> I get 2 spaces

Can I "correct" this behavior in the Zed config?
It feels like when formatting the Code Sniffer rules are ignored by PHP Actor in Zed.

    "PHP": {
      "language_servers": ["phpactor", "!intelephense"]
      // "formatter": {}
    },

I guess zed try to format using prettier. Try changing formatter:

{
  "formatter": "language_server"
}

The configuration I'm trying out now:

    "PHP": {
      "language_servers": ["phpactor", "!intelephense", "..."],
      "formatter": "prettier", // is this necessary? 
      "code_actions_on_format": { 
        "source.fixAll.phpactor": true // does this do anything?
      }
    },

It looks like something is formatted 🤔
