I had the same error before and I solved it by running visual studio code as Administrator.
My environment:
Windows 8.1
PHP Version 5.4.31
VS setting for the extension:
{
"php-cs-fixer.executablePath": "C:\php-cs-fixer.phar",
"php-cs-fixer.onsave": false,
"php-cs-fixer.rules":
"@psr2",
"php-cs-fixer.autoFixByBracket": true,
"php-cs-fixer.autoFixBySemicolon": false,
"php-cs-fixer.formatHtml": true,
}
VS code installed path:
C:\Program Files [x86]\Microsoft VS Code\
Mar 10, 2017
update
I found that if install VS code somewhere else rather than , like C:\Microsoft VS Code, then you don't need to "run as Administrator"
The folder does exist. or do you run the tool outside of the project directory?
current php_cs i use:
