FunctionRestricted ignores warning in some cases.

[emgk]

In WordPress-VIP there are many WordPress functions which are restricted to use due to not caching the data, slow performance and other various reasons.

WordPress_Sniffs_VIP_RestrictedFunctionsSniff sniff works great when I call the function in the normal way. for Eg. wp_remote_get( 'http://example.com' ); it will throw the WARNING.

wp_remote_get() is highly discouraged, please use vip_safe_wp_remote_get() instead.

But it may be the case that these functions are calling using call_user_func(), call_user_func_array().

for Eg. call_user_func( 'wp_remote_get', 'http://example.com' );

In this case, PHPCS showing no warning when calling the restricted function call_user_func(), call_user_func_array().

Environment:
phpcs : v2.9 ,
wpcs: develop branch

Let me know any further info needed.

Thanks for the report @emgk. This is actually a duplicate of #611. It will be fixed by #843.

@JDGrimes Bonus points for sneaking in "duplicate of" keyword :-)

[JDGrimes]

@GaryJones I actually didn't realize that GitHub looks for that keyword until after posting. 😄

@JDGrimes It's a recent feature and even has it's own "saved reply" which is available to everyone ;-)

I am developing a plugin that uses wp_remote_get() to retrieve reCaptcha response.
I get the above error on sniff

wp_remote_get() is highly discouraged, please use vip_safe_wp_remote_get() instead.

What is my alternative if I don't have access to the vip_safe_wp_remote_get() function?

@khacoder Your question is completely unrelated to the issue reported in this thread. It may refer to the same function, but it is most definitely not the same issue. So, please do not pollute issues with unrelated questions. If you can't find an issue which already covers your question, open a new ticket.

Aside from that, if you don't run on the VIP platform, you can safely exclude the WordPress.VIP sniffs. Also have a look at #1288.

So polite of you to offer your help.

Many thanks :)
