Error when running phpcs

[judodan]

Came in after several months not working with PHP to find my php not working. I updated versions (to PHP 8.2.3) and things seemed OK. So I upgraded my phpcs to 3.7.2 and ran it on a directory like so:

phpcs -s -p -v --ignore=plugins/,vendor/,gsdata/,wp-admin/,wp-includes/,.css,.js . --standard=PHPCompatibility --report-file=compat.txt

And I am receiving a number of same errors on each file (below). Google search didn't seem to help me much. Any ideas to give a kick in the right direction?

Errors look like this:

FILE:

FOUND 1 ERROR AFFECTING 1 LINE

1 | ERROR | An error occurred during processing; checking has been aborted. The error message was: trim(): Passing null to parameter #1
| | ($string) of type string is deprecated in /Users/izz/Development/PHPCompatibility/PHPCompatibility/Sniff.php on line 131
| | (Internal.Exception)

Please report issues with the external PHPCompatibility standard in the repo for that standard. This is nothing to do with PHPCS itself.

As a side-note: the issue above has already been fixed in the PHPCompatibility repo. That last release (from 2019) is not compatible with PHP 8.0+. A new release is expected soonish. For the time being, either run PHPCompatibility on PHP 7.4 or use the develop version if you want to use PHP 8.0+.

Thanks for quick response, trying to get this all straightened out (again!).
