Wait for the new release of WPCS 3.0.0 and see if the issue still exists.
Hey @htdat Can you give me a sense of whether this plugin is alive for public release or not? Are you planning to release a stable version at some point?
@jerclarke - We have tried to improve our tests and make the plugin more stable when fixing bugs or adding new features. So far, we're not yet having a formal plan for the next stable release.
Glad to hear about the testing at least. I guess I'll try updating to the latest master and see if it works for my needs or not. Trying to avoid switching to another plugin if I don't have to.
