Can't specify a report file path using the tilde shortcut

When I use the following command

mkdir ~/foo && vendor/bin/phpcs --report=junit --report-junit="~/foo/phpcs.xml"

I get the error

ERROR: The specified junit report file path "~/foo/phpcs.xml" points to a non-existent directory

But the directory exists when I check using ls -l ~/

What am I doing wrong?

None of the CLI arguments used to set report file paths supported the tilde shortcut properly. They would have worked if you the files you specified already existed, but would always show an invalid directory error if not. I've fixed this now.

I also found and fixed a problem with --report-junit and the toher report-specific file path arguments where specifying a directory would throw a PHP error inside of a friendlier PHPCS error.

Thanks for reporting this. The fix will be in 3.5.4

Oh excellent! At least I now know I wasn't being stupid!

Thank you for fixing this :)
