PHPCS invocation fails on Windows 10 if installed globally

Problem/Motivation

Running composer update in a project fails on Windows 10 when this plugin is installed globally.

Error

  The command ""C:\users\jonathan\drupal\behatdrupal/vendor/bin\phpcs" "--config-show" "installed_paths"" failed.
  Exit Code: 1(General error)

  operable program or batch file.

Not sure why this is handled differently on Windows.
I personally do not have access to Windows machines, so this needs to be solved/triaged by external contributors.

@jonathanjfshaw I haven't tested with a global install, but I wouldn't be surprised if PR #80 would fix this issue as well as it changes the command used.

Would you be able to test PR #80 with your setup ?

[jonathanjfshaw]

Sorry, no, I don't have a suitable working composer setup

I'll have a look at this soonish, together with #79 and #80.

Version v0.6.0 has just been released. Besides several fixes, this version also adds improved debug/verbose output.

@jonathanjfshaw Could you try to reproduce the issue you reported with v0.6.0 and let us know if it still happens? If so, please run the plugin in verbose mode and paste the output of the run here (that should make it possible for us to re-produce the issue ourselves).

@jonathanjfshaw Any feedback ? I would love to know if this is still an issue or if this can be closed.

[jonathanjfshaw]

Sorry, I'm no longer using composer on Windows 10 so can't retest.

As luck would have it, I now have access to a Windows 10 machine (we've had to buy a family computer to keep up with all the video meetings the children have for school).

My current timetable would allow me to take a look at this the coming weekend. I'll post my findings as soon as I've run throught things. 👍

I've finally gotten round to running this on a Windows machine.

Both powershell and regular shell give me no trouble with a global install present.

Closing this as it can not be reproduced.
