Since last update (7.2.0) phpcs create .php-cs-fixer.dist file everywhere

[franck-paul]

Since last update (7.2.0) phpcs create .php-cs-fixer.dist file everywhere (at the same level of edited php file, whatever is the folder or subfolder) even if my configuration define a "config" property with several folders which should be used rather than creating a new one.

Is there any setup to disable those creations of .php-cs-fixer.dist ?

My config (ST):

{
    "phpcs_php_path": "/opt/homebrew/bin/php",
    "phpcs_executable_path": "/Users/franck/.composer/vendor/bin/phpcs",
    "phpmd_executable_path": "/opt/homebrew/bin/phpmd",
    "phpcbf_executable_path": "/Users/franck/.composer/vendor/bin/phpcbf",
    "scheck_executable_path": "",
    "php_cs_fixer_executable_path": "/opt/homebrew/bin/php-cs-fixer",

    "phpmd_run": true,
    "scheck_run": false,
    "phpcs_linter_run": true,
    "phpcs_sniffer_run": true,

    "extensions_to_blacklist": [],
    "extensions_to_execute": ["php"],

    "phpcs_execute_on_save": true,
    "phpcs_show_errors_on_save": true,
    "phpcs_command_on_save": false,
    "php_cs_fixer_on_save": true,
    "phpcbf_on_save": false,
    "phpcs_linter_command_on_save": false,
    "phpmd_command_on_save": true,
    "scheck_command_on_save": true,

    // "php_cs_fixer_show_quick_panel": true,

    "php_cs_fixer_additional_args": {
        "--allow-risky=yes" : "",
    },

    "phpmd_additional_args": {
        "codesize,unusedcode,naming,~/.phpmd/rules.xml": "" // add path to custom ruleset file here
    },

    "config": [
        "${file_path}/.php-cs-fixer.php",
        "${file_path}/.php-cs-fixer.dist.php",
        "${file_path}/.php_cs",
        "${file_path}/.php_cs.dist",
        "${folder}/.php_cs",
        "${folder}/.php_cs.dist",
        "${folder}/.php-cs-fixer.php",
        "${folder}/.php-cs-fixer.dist.php",
        "/Users/franck/.php-cs-fixer.php",
        "/Users/franck/.php-cs-fixer.dist.php",
        "/Users/franck/.php_cs",
        "/Users/franck/.php_cs.dist",
        "/Users/franck/.phpcsfixer"
        ]
}

Apologies, @franck-paul

Could you checkout this branch/PR and see if that fixes it for you please? Seems to work for me, but want to double check

[franck-paul]

I found a workaround by using this in the ST extension settings:

    "php_cs_fixer_additional_args": {
        "--allow-risky=yes" : "",
        "--config": "${project_path}/php-cs-fixer.php",
        "--cache-file": "${project_path}/php-cs-fixer.cache"
    },

And having set a php-cs-fixer.php in my project folder.

Amazing - that feels neater than the PR - So I'm likely to close the other PR, and capture your comment in the docs - that work for you?

[franck-paul]

It works for me, but will it be the case for everyone? Hard to say :-)

Anyway, put my comment in your doc if it may help others!
