Invalid "indent" param, expected tab or two or four spaces

[ngdangtu]

I got this error while attempt to fix a php by right-clicked on the file in explorer panel and chose php-cs-fixer: fix

From OUTPUT:

Loaded config default from "c:\...\project/.vscode/.php-cs-fixer.php".



In WhitespacesFixerConfig.php line 35:
                                                               
  Invalid "indent" param, expected tab or two or four spaces.

From Dev Console:

And if I chose php-cs-fixer: diff then nothing display in OUTPUT but I have a long list in Dev Console:

PHP CS Fixer: php general error.

At first it gave me a lot of error like:

• The rules contain unknown fixers "no_space_around_double_colon"
• [binary_operator_spaces] Invalid configuration: Unexpected "operators" key, expected any of "=", "", "/", "%", "<"
  , ">", "|", "^", "+", "-", "&", "&=", "&&", "||", ".=", "/=", "=>", "==", ">=", "===", "!=", "<>", "!==", "<=", "an
  d", "or", "xor", "-=", "%=", "=", "|=", "+=", "<<", "<<=", ">>", ">>=", "^=", "", "=", "<=>", "??", "??=", got
  "integer#0".
• and some other error that I can't reproduce

Here is my config (this is the config producing "indent" param, Uncomment fixes to see other error:

it's clear from the error info.

single quote and double quote is differrence in php

define('INDENT_STYLE', "\t", true);

[ngdangtu]

Thank god that wasn't a bug. And I'm sorry, it was my fault. But what happens to The rules contain unknown fixers "no_space_around_double_colon"? Set it to true is correct config right?

[junstyle]

i think you should read the doc of php-cs-fixer, i do not know yet.

maybe no_space_around_double_colon not exists now

[ngdangtu]

Ok, I will try to google it few more times.
