Cannot Configure PHP CodeSniffer in Windows - WSL

[sreejith-cb]

Description
I am not able to configure Code Sniffer in PhpStorm. I am using WSL with Windows. I have followed the instructions as mentioned in the video guide "Configure PHPCS (PHP CodeSniffer) for Magento" but to no avail. I believe there is something wrong with the Path mappings. I have configured CLI interpreter and everything as explained in the video.

Expected ResultI
PHP CodeSniffer configured successfully.

Actual Result
PHP CodeSniffer not configured successfully. Getting error Can not Run PHP_CodeSniffer.

I do not officially support Windows, but if someone wants to make a PR to fix or add documentation to this to get things working, that would be appreciated and I'd take it in 👍

Hello @sreejith-cb ,
Have you added the mapping for the Ubuntu project src folder local path with the remote "/var/www/html" path in the PHP_CodeSniffer dialog box to add the path for mapping?

@markshust, the user @vpberiya has indicated that they still need help with the issue regarding PHP CodeSniffer configuration in PhpStorm on Windows using WSL. They have also provided a suggestion about adding the mapping for the Ubuntu project src folder local path. Could you please assist them?

FYI there is documentation for setting up docker-magento on Linux: https://github.com/markshust/docker-magento?tab=readme-ov-file#linux

I would think you this would needed to be followed with WSL2 — please correct me if I'm wrong!
