Version 9.0.3 works correctly.
Moving to version 9.0.4 or greater results in the below error.

Actual behaviour

Found origin of issue.
As I've no more free time today, I'll give explains and fixes later (probably tomorrow)

[llaville]

It's time to explains and understand why there are issues since v9.0.4, while v9.0.3 works as expected :

Look and compare Dockerfile both versions :

• 9.0.3
• 9.0.4

I've introduced a non-root user to avoid issue #182

I've also, introduced a new issue with line https://github.com/overtrue/phplint/blob/9.0.4/Dockerfile#L19.

Look and also compare entrypoint.sh both versions :

• 9.0.3
• 9.0.4

Until v9.0.3, PHPLint used Docker root (account), and hardcoded the path with /root/.composer/vendor/bin/phplint

I've tried to removed the hardcoded syntax by using this $(composer config --global home)/vendor/bin/phplint new syntax.

It will be ok, if GitHub Action Runner did not hardcode itself the HOME user directory (with /github/home value).
TL;DR: read actions/runner#863 for more information.

As it's not yet possible, unless GitHub Action team decide to revert their behaviour,
we should come back to a hardcoded path version of PHPLint into entrypoint.sh (but now with the non-root user).

Hope these explains are enough to understand current status of PHPLint !

Bugfix releases 9.0.7 and 9.1.1 are on way !

/cc @overtrue

[llaville]

Fix already available with version 9.0.8

I'll release then 9.1.1 accordingly

[llaville]

@chris-bateman I recommend to use the latest version 9.1.1 (quite similar to 9.0.8) unless you're still running with PHP 8.0 on your platform

[chris-bateman]

@llaville Thank you for the quick turn around. Working perfectly now :)
