  1. Hello,
    I use your plugin since years and i love it.
    Yesterday i upgrade to Monterey (MacOs 12.2.1) and then an error appeared when i save php file :
    “Sorry, we have an exception.
    NSInvalidArgumentException
    Reason: launch path not accessible”
    Then :
    “PHP returned nothing
    Make sure the file has no errors, try using UTF-8 encoding.”

    Of course i check encoding type and confirm to use UTF-8 encoding.

    That error appears on every php file when i save them.

    Do you know a way to fix this error ?

    Best regards

    1. I was running into the same errors, and for me, I needed to do two things.

      1. Update PHP using homebrew and

      2. Update the path to “/usr/local/bin/php”

      Updating PHP required me to update Homebrew using the following procedure taken from https://github.com/httpie/httpie/issues/645#issuecomment-456902997

      “Just Run below command

      1)brew doctor

      2)sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(brew –prefix)/*

      3)sudo install -d -o $(whoami) -g admin /usr/local/Frameworks
      ”

      I hope this helps!

  2. Hi,

    I’ve recently upgraded to a new M1 MacBook Pro. I’m now getting an error when validating php files..

    Sorry, we have an exception
    NSInvalidArgumentException
    Reason:
    launch path not accessible

    Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    1. Hi,
      the plugin is discontinued but maybe the php binary is not set up correctly in the settings? It should be something like “/usr/bin/php”.

  3. Just wondering;
    Is it possible to hook in to the validator in coda?

    And the error message is barely readable when dark mode is activated. The white color behind the letters is not a good choice. Can we edit this?

  4. Hello! Do you plan on building a version of this PHP/Toolkit plugin for Panic’s new Nova editor?

  5. I’m trying to tidy up HTML with your plugin but I’m getting this error:
    (I have updated the plugin, running Coda 2.75)
    Any ideas?

    Sorry, we have an exception.
    NSInvalidArgumentException

    1. Hi –

      since I don’t continue the development anymore, it’s a bit difficult to help here. But you can turn on debug mode in the preferences, open Console on your Mac, try again and have a look at the console output. There should be a log message showing which command the plugin was trying to execute.

  6. Is there an option to not add an extra linebreak after a comment (//comment or /*comment*/) in the JS tidy?

  11. Tried to run tidy CSS on a .less file, and boy that messed it up :) Would be nice to be able to auto-tab those files as well, but realize that’s a bit different.

    1. Hi –

      PHP 7+ is supported. The plugin uses the PHP binary installed with OS X on your Mac (/usr/bin/php).
      If you use an older OS X version (where PHP 7.1 is not included yet) you can install a newer PHP version (via Homebrew for example).
      Then simply the the path to the new php binary in the settings.

      1. Ahhh gotcha. That explains it then.
        I was wondering why PHP validation was throwing an error when I used something like:
        $username = $_GET[‘user’] ?? ‘nobody’;

        But I found that on my work computer, I have PHP 5.6 installed.
        On my personal computer, I have PHP 7 and everything is working great.

        Thanks for the speedy response. And also, big thanks for the development of this Coda plugin. I can say without doubt that I use it more than any other, and it honestly fills the gap in my decision of what IDE to use. Phenomenal!

  16. Hi,
    I’m using semanticUI which uses an i TAG to display predefined icons.
    Tidy always removes them with the warning “Warning: trimming empty “.

    I tried adding this i to the various new-xx-tags parts, but to no avail.

    Help and FAQ do not help or answer Q. Neither does my google-fu.

    anyone? ;-)
    thanks

  17. Hi,

    I’m on Coda 2.6.9 / Mac OS 10.13.1 Hight Sierra and unable to use “Tidy javascript” command.

    I confirm my file is encoded in UTF-8.

    I have following errors :

    Make sure the file has no errors, try using UTF-8 encoding.

    Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Function name must be a string in /Users/fabrice/Library/Application Support/Coda 2/Plug-ins/PhpPlugin.codaplugin/Contents/Resources/jsbeautifier.php:193

    2. I fixed by myself.
      1 – Open /Users/[YOUR USER NAME]/Library/Application Support/Coda 2/Plug-ins/PhpPlugin.codaplugin/Contents/Resources/jsbeautifier.php
      2 – At line 162, modify:
      $handlers = array…
      by
      $this->$handlers… (just make $handlers part of the class)
      3 – At line 193 replace the wrong function call:
      $this->$handlers[$token_type]($token_text);
      by the correctly call:
      call_user_func(array($this, $this->$handlers[$token_type]), $token_text);
      4 – Save the file.

            Make sure the file has no errors, try using UTF-8 encoding.
