Describe the current, buggy behavior
Some syntax issues in my commits haven't been caught because I haven't been able to run the full test suite. This is because of a PHPCS error I've been getting in my environment. @danielbachhuber saw it on contributor day, but wasn't sure how to fix. The message is below, and appears any time I try to run composer test.

Script run-phpcs-tests handling the phpcs event returned with error code 1
Script @phpcs was called via test

It's happening with PHP 8.1 and 8.2. For some reason this doesn't seem to be happening in the automated commit tests (at least in the media-command repo), and is happening even with a fresh composer install in the wp-cli-dev repo, on the main branch. So I guess it might be something with my particular environment. Any suggestions?

[danielbachhuber]

I'm experiencing the same issue. I'm not sure what it is, though. Upgrading might fix it wp-cli/wp-cli-tests#175

[swissspidy]

Yeah that's one of the PHP 8 compat issues that got resolved in WPCS 3.0. We should definitely get that upgrade sorted.

Started with wp-cli/wp-cli-tests#176.

I think we'll need to tag a wp-cli-tests 4.0.0 release, and then update each repository individually.
