Describe the bug

I'm getting the following error using the custom project rules:

ERROR: You must supply at least one file or directory to process.

Here's my phpcs.xml.dist:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ruleset name="Project Rules">

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

  git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo this operation with:

  git switch -

Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

Using config file: /usr/bin/CodeSniffer.conf

For anyone running into a similar error: when using local config, the paths setting is ignored.
This also includes default paths: '.'!

You need to specify <file> to be checked inside the phpcs.xml, e.g.:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ruleset xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" name="WordPress - doc comments" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PHPCSStandards/PHP_CodeSniffer/master/phpcs.xsd">

	<description>WordPress project standards except for doc comment rules.</description>

	<file>wp-content/themes/path-to-your-theme</file>

	<rule ref="WordPress">
		<exclude name="Squiz.Commenting.FileComment.Missing"/>
		<exclude name="Squiz.Commenting.ClassComment.Missing"/>
		<exclude name="Squiz.Commenting.FunctionComment.Missing"/>
		<exclude name="Squiz.Commenting.FunctionComment.MissingParamComment"/>
		<exclude name="Squiz.Commenting.VariableComment.Missing"/>
	</rule>

</ruleset>
