Build failing: Referenced sniff does not exist

[dafeder]

We've been using codeclimate for a long time on the open source DKAN project. For the last few weeks all of our builds are failing with the error Referenced sniff "SlevomatCodingStandard.ControlStructures.RequireNullCoalesceOperator" does not exist.

Here is a failing build:

https://codeclimate.com/github/GetDKAN/dkan/builds/2781

We're using only the phpcodesniffer plugin (beta channel), using the Drupal and DrupalPractice standards. Here is the .codeclimate.yml from that particular build.

I have the CLI tool locally and can run codeclimate analyze successfully on the same commit.

The full stack trace from the build:

Exception: ERROR: Referenced sniff "SlevomatCodingStandard.ControlStructures.RequireNullCoalesceOperator" does not exist

Run "phpcs --help" for usage information

Hey @dafeder - can you push a new commit to that PR? We've updated things on the beta channel that should make this work now 👌🏼

• Let me know when you get a chance to test it.

Thanks!

Hi - this appears to have resolved our issue, sorry for the delay in response!
