Sometimes I open a php file in VS Code and no linting occurs until I open the linting console from the bottom, switch over to the terminal pane where a dialog shows up that asks me if I trust the authors of this workspace. If I say yes then linting errors are shown until I close VS Code.

Other times, I open a php file in vs code, no linting errors show so I open the linting console from the bottom and switch over to the terminal pane but nothing happens.

There is no pattern that I can see as to when the linter will work and when it will do nothing. I have never encountered a problem like this. Does anyone know anything about this problem?
