ERROR: Referenced sniff "XXXX" does not exist. After upgrading to 5.3.0

[kolorafa]

After removing dereuromark/cakephp-ide-helper from app project, we got those upgrades:

• Upgrading cakephp/cakephp-codesniffer (5.2.2 => 5.3.0)
• Upgrading slevomat/coding-standard (8.22.1 => 8.23.0)
• Upgrading squizlabs/php_codesniffer (3.13.4 => 4.0.0)

It results in:

Changing composer.json for cakephp/cakephp-codesniffer from ^5.0 to 5.2.*

• Downgrading cakephp/cakephp-codesniffer (5.3.0 => 5.2.2)
• Downgrading slevomat/coding-standard (8.23.0 => 8.22.1)
• Downgrading squizlabs/php_codesniffer (4.0.0 => 3.13.4)

And problem ofc disappears.

I see that @ADmad did say that he fixed similar error in #420 (comment) but don't see how.

https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp-codesniffer/compare/ae47e566ddeaf72c0e7e9fa0677fcd19b77db236..62b1da84b797ab4cccfea1731560f71a9fb233d8

Tried adding the installer, but that didn't change much (was already installed).

Removing this line

<config name="installed_paths" value="../../cakephp/cakephp-codesniffer"/>

from phpcs.xml fixed the issue 😄
