Question

I am facing this issue in Visual Studio Code. I have already tried reinstalling the phpcs extension but still facing this issue.

Unable to locat

Answer 1

My solution without the need to install php_codesniffer globally.

Just go to VSCode settings and define the local path ./vendor/squizlabs/php_codesniffer/bin/phpcs

Or you can set the path directly in your settings.json

"phpcs.executablePath": "./vendor/squizlabs/php_codesniffer/bin/phpcs"
