Be aware that exclude-pattern values are interpreted as regular expressions, so this snippet would exclude every directory which included the string vendor/, i.e. /some-other-vendor/ would also be excluded.

While this may be something which will rarely cause issues, you can stabilize this to just the Composer vendor directory by using something along the lines of ^/vendor/* or the slightly more generic ./vendor/

Darn... my bad. The more generic version should be /vendor/. The . which I'd inadvertently placed in front of it will not be interpreted as root, but as a regex wildcard, so, while it shouldn't give any problems, it also isn't necessary.

I would recommend adding a link here to the PHPCS wiki so people will know where to find more information about these options.

You can either use the generic wiki link: https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/wiki

Or links to both these pages as good starting points for people:

<arg value="sp"/> <!-- Show sniff and progress -->
<arg name="basepath" value="./"/><!-- Strip the file paths down to the relevant bit -->
<arg name="colors"/>

Just a side-note: colors will only work on certain platforms. Not sure by heart, but IIRC it works on Linux and Mac, but not on Windows.

Another potentially useful arg is <arg name="parallel" value="8"/> - the number can vary, but 8 is a nice starting point.

👍 Comment to add along-side it: <!-- Enables parallel processing when available for faster results. -->

As per the earlier comments, using PHPCompatibilityWP will be the better choice.

I'd also recommend adding a link to the PHPCompatibilityWP repo as a comment, again to help people to more easily find out more info: https://github.com/PHPCompatibility/PHPCompatibilityWP

Maybe also add a link for more info about what the testVersion means and how it works: https://github.com/PHPCompatibility/PHPCompatibility#sniffing-your-code-for-compatibility-with-specific-php-versions

You may also want to add a comment saying that people can change the testVersion to suit their project.

<config name="testVersion" value="5.3-"/>
<rule ref="PHPCompatibility"/>

Since this is a WordPress plugin/theme, then it can reference the PHPCompatibilityWP ruleset instead - would need the composer.json template updated as well to pull that package in.

Since that is outstanding, should this remain as is and implement a change for it with #63?

I would most definitely recommend changing this already to use the PHPCompatibilityWP standard instead as it will prevent false positives for things WP back-fills/poly-fills.

Along the same lines as some of my other comments, you may want to add a link here to the WPCS repo and/or to the WPCS wiki page about configuring sniffs:

<config name="minimum_supported_wp_version" value="4.6"/>
<rule ref="WordPress">
<exclude name="WordPress.VIP"/>

Might be worth waiting until WPCS 1.0.0 drops, which already removes WordPress-VIP from the WordPress ruleset.

This will work either way, even if the WPCS VIP deprecation would not make it into 1.0.0, so I'd leave it for now.

@jrfnl may know better, but having a my-plugin placeholder here may better point folks towards changing it to something useful when it gives some warnings on the first run, rather than an empty value which may either blow things up, or not show any related violations (and therefore not drawing attention to changing it) at all.

I concur with @GaryJones, please do add a placeholder to give people incentive to change it.

An empty value won't blow things up, but will basically disable the sniff.

I think WPCS 1.0.0 now supports a better way of adding in array properties - individual entries, instead of a comma-separated value.

Not WPCS, but PHPCS 3.3.0+. So if you would want to use the new array format, you would need to make sure that people are aware that they will need a very recent PHPCS version.

@jrfnl will the current CSV method work with PHPCS 3.3.0+? If so it seams like it might be better to wait before implementing that even by reference.

This is more a personal preference, than a recommended setting. I'm not sure if it belong in a scaffold.

I haven't looked at the scaffold in detail, but in case it also adds a PHPUnit test set-up, you may want to add an additional set of custom properties for that: https://github.com/WordPress-Coding-Standards/WordPress-Coding-Standards/wiki/Customizable-sniff-properties#custom-unit-test-classes
