Ignoring single PHPCS rule when running from command line

Question

Scenario

Some times, I want to run PHPCS, but have it ignore one rule, in this case the Camel Case Method Name rule.

I know that I can create a new ruleset which inherits all from another ruleset, and excludes one, but I'd like to do this from the command line if possible.

Question

When running phpcs --standard=PSR2 --extentions=php src/, is there a way to exclude a single rule from the standard for this run?

There is no way to currently do this. The CLI only allows you to selectively include sniffs and not to exclude them. But it's a good idea for a feature. You should consider adding an issue here: github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer – Washerwoman

As of June 29th, 2016, this is now possible.

To exclude specific sniffs, use the flag --exclude=sniff1,sniff2,sniff3.

For more information, see GitHub issue and commit.

To find out the sniff names: phpcs -e will list the sniffs, so that you can copy-and-paste them to the --exclude argument. – Sukkoth
