executable path not found

[MrTucks]

Hi, after updating php to 5.6.40 and changing the install directory of it this plugin doesn't work anymore (even though new php.exe is in my PATH, same as old version). I always get the error "PHP CS Fixer: executablePath not found, please check your settings. It will set to built-in php-cs-fixer.phar. Try again!" I constantly get that error. Even after restarting my PC and trying again multiple times. php-cs-fixer.phar is in the extension directory. I also tried installing php-cs-fixer.phar to my PATH and changing the php-cs-fixer.executablePath to "php-cs-fixer.phar" but it still gives the same error even though I can type "php-cs-fixer.phar" in any console window anywhere and it works there. I also put php-cs-fixer.phar in my D: drive and my own documents folder and put the whole path to the file in php-cs-fixer.executablePath, still the same error message. I also reinstalled the extension, and uninstalled it, deleted the extensions folder and installed it again. Still not working.

I'm at a total loss now.

OS: Windows 10 Home 1809 VS-code: 1.36.0 Extension version: the latest.

Edit: I also reinstalled VS-Code and it's still the same error.

you can check you php path, can you execute php without full path? php -v

I don't think this helps :( because I'm on Windows 10. I tried a full path (to a folder without admin rights) and it also didn't help

I have exact same problem - does not work with full path to my phar or with default settings

"php-cs-fixer.executablePath": "${extensionPath}\\php-cs-fixer.phar",
"[php]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "junstyle.php-cs-fixer",
    "editor.formatOnSave": false
},
"php-cs-fixer.rules": "@PSR2",
"php-cs-fixer.formatHtml": true,

I get error 'executable path not found' every time Windows 10 / VS Code 1.44.0

OK, I see what's happening here now ....If you have other PHP extensions installed in VS Code you may have the built in PHP features disabled.

Firstly I needed to add back in my settings.json path to php.exe :

"php.validate.executablePath": "C:/devserver/eds-binaries/php/php738vc15x86x190920053344/php.exe",

then downloaded php-cs-fixer.phar ad my working settings on Windows 10 are as follows:

    "php.validate.executablePath": "C:/devserver/eds-binaries/php/php738vc15x86x190920053344/php.exe",
    "php-cs-fixer.executablePath": "C:/Users/paulm/Downloads/php-cs-fixer.phar",
"[php]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "junstyle.php-cs-fixer",
    "editor.formatOnSave": false
},
"php-cs-fixer.rules": "@PSR2",
"php-cs-fixer.formatHtml": true,

I am using Windows 10

1. I set up an openserver.exe
2. I have installed Composer (Composer-Setup.exe)
3. On windows 10, I added the composer to the PATH environment variable. I showed it on stackoverflow
4. Install PHP-CS-FIXER Using Composer composer global require friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer
5. Then i install HP-CS-FIXER VSCODE Extension

My settings in vscode, in settings.json

  "php.validate.executablePath": "C:\\OpenServer\\modules\\php\\PHP_8.1\\php.exe",
  "php-cs-fixer.executablePath": "C:\\Users\\Brendan\\.vscode\\extensions\\junstyle.php-cs-fixer-0.2.10\\php-cs-fixer.phar",
  "php-cs-fixer.executablePathWindows": "C:\\Users\\Brendan\\AppData\\Roaming\\Composer\\vendor\\bin\\php-cs-fixer.bat", 

These steps helped me. This solved my issue. 😉
