Project Goals

Arcanist provides an excellent linting system, that aggregates other linting tools for easy consumption. This makes tools that output content in the checkstyle format consumable by arcanist.

Similar Work

This was largely based off the script-and-regex check that already existed

Justification

I could not figure out a way to get checkstyle content into arcanist easily otherwise; Checkstyle is XML, so it was easy and interesting to build a parser.

Limitations

• Only tested with shellcheck

Summary

• License: MIT
• Code Style: PSR2*
• Locale: en-AU [lang]_

• Amusingly, it fails PSR2

Compatibility

PHP

• 5.6 (probably)
• 7

Installation

This tool can be installed with composer:

$ composer require --dev littlemanco/arcanist-lint-checkstyle

It's available on Packagist, so it should "Just Work"

Usage

This linter integrates with the normal Arcanist lints, however some additional setup is required to get Arcanist to find the linter. Create a file in your repo as follows:

{
  "load": [
    "vendor/littlemanco/arcanist-lint-checkstyle/src/"
  ]
}

This allows arcanist to discover the lint. Then, it can be configured like other lints:

{
  "linters": {
    ...
    "sh": {
      "type": "checkstyle",
      "include": "(\\.sh$)",
      "checkstyle.script": "sh -c 'shellcheck --format=checkstyle \"$0\" || true'"
    }
    ...
  }
}

Thanks
