I glanced through the code and I'm not sure what's wrong, but phpcs doesn't seem to respect the report-width or extensions arguments when specified via ruleset.xml.

My ruleset.xml starts like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <ruleset name="MySniffs"> <arg name="report-width" value="auto" /> <arg name="extensions" value="php" /> <! -- rule refs omitted --> </ruleset>

I do see that the arguments are captured, but the report isn't as wide as it should be:

$ ~/code/codesniffer/scripts/phpcs --standard=CSNStores -vv Processing ruleset ... ... => set command line value --report-width=auto => set command line value --extensions=php ... FILE: /home/nick/foo/bar/baz.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FOUND 39 ERRORS AFFECTING 23 LINES ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ... 

I noticed that extensions doesn't work by observing the file counts given by the -p option when using the command line --extensions=php versus the xml <arg name="extensions" value="php">.

Any thoughts?
