annoying newline after an empty diff

[hujuice]

This is a very minor bug, but annoying for me.
If I run
phpcs --report=diff
in absence of errors and warnings, a newline is printed.

So, for example, my pre-commit git hook results malformed

echo -n 'PHP CodeSniffer... '
if vendor/bin/phpcs -s --report=diff $i; then
    echo 'ok'
else
    echo 'failed'
    exit 1
fi

Yes, it's really minor, but grrrr >:-(

What is malformed?

[hujuice]

Even if I use the -n option after the first echo command, the output will be

PHP CodeSniffer...
ok

What I want, using the -n option, is

PHP CodeSniffer... ok

Very minor, I know.

In other words, the output is not an empty string '' but a newline "\n".

Annoying no more!

composer require --dev "squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer" : "dev-master#ef0678a"
is very nice 👍
