#1 Create sniffs for PHP Code Sniffer
Status: Tim Eilers and Malte Jansen are working on this
Introduction
PHP Code Sniffer is a PHP-based tool which automatically checks code for coding guideline compliance and creates reports with errors and warnings. We would like to use this tool to complement quality assurance for TYPO3 5.0 related code.
For TYPO3 5.0, the framework and all other related packages we have created some improved coding guidelines which contain instructions for the code layout and coding style. It is essential that we follow these guidelines - but sometimes we might oversee discrepancies and need someone (... something) who makes us aware of them. Using a tool which automates this task seems like a good idea.
Task Description
In order to use PHP Code Sniffer, the TYPO3 5.0 coding guidelines need to be implemented as PHP classes, following a certain syntax. These classes need to be accompanied by proper unit tests.
We suggest the following steps:
- download and get familiar with PHP Code Sniffer
- get familiar with our Coding Guidelines and let us know if something is missing or unclear
- create unit tests and then Sniff classes for the most important rules
If you would go even one step further, you can help us or take over the deployment of the whole tool at 5-0.dev.typo3.org.
