Setting up MEQP Coding standard checks in PHPStorm

Overview

In order to submit extensions to Magento marketplace, source code needs to pass Magento Extension Quality Program Coding Standard checks.

You can either do it manually, by following this guide in official Github repository, or by fixing things as you code, by setting up check in PHP Storm.

Install and configure Code Sniffer on system

• Install the phpcs to your system by executing:

# pear install PHP_CodeSniffer

• Git clone the repo with official standards:

$ git clone git@github.com:magento/marketplace-eqp.git 

• Locate where phpcs sotres standards and copy them from the repo above. On Ubuntu based systems, they are located in /usr/share/php/PHP/CodeSniffer/Standards. You have to copy MEQP1, MEQP2 and Utils folders there:

# cp -R marketplace-eqp/MEQP1 /usr/share/php/PHP/CodeSniffer/Standards/
# cp -R marketplace-eqp/MEQP2 /usr/share/php/PHP/CodeSniffer/Standards/
# cp -R marketplace-eqp/Utils /usr/share/php/PHP/CodeSniffer/Standards/

PHPStorm setup

• Make sure you have configured PHP interprter. You can do so by going to

Languages & Frameworks > PHP

• Make sure you have confiugred PHP Code Sniffer. You can do so by going to

Languages & Frameworks > PHP > Code Sniffer

• Enable code sniffer and choose validation standard:

Editor > Inspections > PHP

• Find PHP Code Sniffer Validations and tick the box next to it, in order to turn it on

• On the right pane, select MEQP1 for Magento 1 validation, or MEQP2 for Magento 2 validation

Same Steps I followed and getting below error.

Does anyone know/have the solution?

If you don't want to copy the MEQP rules to the code sniffer folder you can also tell CodeSniffer where your rules are located:
phpcs --config-set installed_paths ~/.magento-eqp

Another note: Apparently the latest PHPStorm uses the phpcs executable that it finds in the Magento project. So you must require the magento/marketplace-eqp package in you project to fix this error.

@michielgerritsen, good catch.

I added via composer require magento/marketplace-eqp --dev in the project

In Languages & Frameworks | PHP | Quality Tools | Code Sniffer, I set the path vendor/bin/phpcs and worked without errors.
