Wordpress code style on Mac M1

DimitriLongo

Hello, just bought the licence and test everything,
What I need the most is the code style Wordpress - but I can't make it work
in my project I have "php.format.codeStyle": "WordPress",
I can see the errors for instance : Call to unknown function: 'get_header'

[{
	"resource": "/Users/.../..../wp-content/themes/mytheme/best-sales.php",
	"owner": "_generated_diagnostic_collection_name_#4",
	"code": "PHP0417",
	"severity": 4,
	"message": "Call to unknown function: 'get_header'",
	"source": "PHP",
	"startLineNumber": 6,
	"startColumn": 1,
	"endLineNumber": 6,
	"endColumn": 11
}]

But no reference to WordPress coding standards
I think I miss nothing in the setup but who knows
Thanks for any advices (same issues with M1 and M2 - Ventura everything uptodate)

DimitriLongo Thank you Dimitri for reporting the issue.

The codeStyle is only for the code formatting purposes.

If you have problems like "Call to unknown function", it means, the source code of the function is not included in your Visual Studio Code workspace.

Do you have the file /wp-includes/general-template.php in the VSCode Explorer included?

thanks for answer, so in my project I need the whole wordpress installation ? because my project is sometimes only a theme or a plugin)
And I think I understand the code style "Wordpress" is not the wordpress coding standards ? Am I right ?

JakubMisek

DimitriLongo yes, usually in VSCode you suppose to have all the sources within the project.

But you can point to the files outside your project directory using the setting "php.workspace.includePath":

{
  "php.workspace.includePath": "path_to_wordpress",
}

Right, the code style "Wordpress" refers to the formatting code style. But it is a good idea to somehow include WordPress and simplify working with it :)

really thanks for explanations - so my fault I really thought code style "WordPress" was the official wordpress coding standard : https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards

Maybe nice to include them

DimitriLongo I see, yep, and thank you for the feedback and for the link. We'll take more care of the WordPress in the future update.
