PHPStorm IDE issue with PHP Code Sniffer

[news-manishpatel]

Description

I am trying to integrate phpcs with my IDE but it rejects the .phpcs.xml file removing the the dot from the beginning fixies it but then it breaks the composer scripts. I updated the compose script to link to the rule set which appears to have fixed it. Wondering if this an issue the the IDE or the plugin configs?

If the former mind helping me understand what I should report to the IDE owner else could we consider a permanent fix please?

I am PHP newbie so go easy on me please.

Compose changes I made:

    ...
    "scripts": {
        "phpcbf": "phpcbf . --standard=./phpcs.xml",
        "phpcs": "phpcs . --standard=./phpcs.xml",
        ...
    }
    ...

IDE config:
