atom-beautify & php-cs-fixer

Question

I am a new programmer and I need your help. I'm pretty much new to Atom editor, but setup some nice packages like Atom Beautify. After using it in a html / php file I'm getting the error "Could not find 'php-cs-fixer' . The program may not be installed. The strange thing is, I did install the package php-cs-fixer but nothing happens.

My system is Windows.

Anyone got an idea how I can fix this?

You must have installed "php" usually when installing the Wamp or Xampp servers are installed by default.
Download the file "php-cs-fixer.phar" https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer
In the CMD execute this command: php where.exe
You get a path, that path copy in: Open Atom Packages / Atom Beautify / Settings / Executables / PHP

In the same folder where the php.exe is located copy the file "php-cs-fixer.phar"
Redo the previous process with the CMD and the Atom in PHP-CS-Fixer "

These screenshots and explanation were really helpful. The explanation at https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer is completely ununderstandable to me. It says 'place "php-cs-fixer.phar" *anywhere* on your computer. ??? This is wrong, your explanation explains it should be in the folder where php.exe is. And the Atom-beautify settings are confusing too. One directly sees a heading 'PHP'. If you place the path at PHP-CS-Fixer path there, that's the wrong place.You should ignore that and go inside 'executables>PHP and place the pathes there. Thanks for giving the correct instructions! – Paul Gobée Jun 19 '19 at 21:51
@PaulGobée The note about adding `PHP-CS-FIXER` at `executables>PHP-CS-FIXER` is valid and highly recommended as the other option is now deprecated. However, I am not sure if it HAS to be at the same location of `php.exe` given that the documentation states otherwise. – Abdelrahman Shoman Apr 30 '21 at 14:57

I am not sure about in Windows, but on Mac and Linux, I do the following. You may be able to do this with Git Bash in Windows.

Install php-cs-fixer with Homebrew (via PHP-CS-Fixer Instructions)

brew install php-cs-fixer

Confirm php-cs-fixer was installed

which php-cs-fixer

Just run this command in terminal, then it will work perfectly:

$ composer global require friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer

Everything will be fixed!

its because you need to install php cs fixer, the atom extension is trying to use it but its not currently installed on your system, install it here: https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer

I entered that link before and I download php-cs-fixer.phar file, but I didn't know how to follow the instructions, If you could clarify the procedure to me I will appreciate that, as I said before I am on Windows system, Thanks for your help – Muhammed Al-Awami Sep 03 '17 at 14:17
first of all, do you have `PHP` in your shell ? if so, you should install `composer` (https://getcomposer.org/) and with it install php-cs – Constantin Guidon Sep 03 '17 at 18:37
I have PHP because I am using XAMP – Muhammed Al-Awami Sep 04 '17 at 10:46
well that not's an answer to my question, so i reformulate it. When you open your terminal a type `php --version` do you have a version output ? Without it, it's a bit hard to develop any PHP application – Constantin Guidon Sep 04 '17 at 17:17
perfect so you have just to follow these steps install composer -> install php-cs-fixer , that's all! – Constantin Guidon Sep 07 '17 at 11:03
So far so good, but is there a specific location should I store the composer and the php-cs-fix – Muhammed Al-Awami Sep 07 '17 at 13:37
you have to install composer globaly in your case ( i think in windows its by default the case) for test the installation `composer -V`, if working then type `composer global require friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer` , after that it should be ok – Constantin Guidon Sep 08 '17 at 09:41
I already did that, but I need to set the path for PHP-CS-Fixer Config File & PHP-CS-Fixer Path in atom-beautify – Muhammed Al-Awami Sep 08 '17 at 13:00
i get these links, let me know if u have some trouble https://atom.io/packages/php-cs-fixer https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer/issues/145 – Constantin Guidon Sep 08 '17 at 13:57
I read that comments but didn't understand anything from there! – Muhammed Al-Awami Sep 09 '17 at 17:28
The github issue was to help to find the path of php-cs-fixer as you said earlier ( i'm not on windows so, i cant' really help you on this ) but i think its like `C:\xamp\bin\php\php7.1.7\php-cs-fixer.phar` – Constantin Guidon Sep 09 '17 at 22:58

I suggest you install manually the php-cs-fixer using the following steps:

You can use yum, apt, and other methods of installing a software or a .exe for windows
Get the path to the installed binary, for example for me i checked using whereis php-cs-fixer and I got /usr/bin/php-cs-fixer
Go to Packages > Atom Beautify > Settings > Executables > PHP-CS-FIXER then in the Binary/Script Path give the path of the php-cs-fixer above (/usr/bin/php-cs-fixer)
Enjoy beautify.

The issue for me was originally installing with composer. Composer does not put a .phar file into the /bin folder.

Download the .phar file (https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer#locally) and place it somewhere explicitly, then put that location in settings->executables->PHP-CS-Fixer path

The manual way did work for me and this how I went about it;

I download php-cs-fixer manually.

    $ wget https://cs.symfony.com/download/php-cs-fixer-v3.phar -O php-cs-fixer

or with curl

    $ curl -L https://cs.symfony.com/download/php-cs-fixer-v3.phar -o php-cs-fixer

Then I fixed the rights and moved it to the right directory.

    $ sudo chmod a+x php-cs-fixer
    $ sudo mv php-cs-fixer /usr/local/bin/php-cs-fixer

Finally, I ran php-cs-fixer and it worked.

make an empty folder somewhere. example: C:\Programs\php-cs-fixer
run composer require friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer
open atom and go to settings -> packages -> atom beautify -> settings -> executables -> php cs fixer input the path there: C:\Programs\php-cs-fixer\vendor\bin\php-cs-fixer.bat
optionally: add C:\Programs\php-cs-fixer\vendor\bin to windows env path so you can use it from cli
