Arcanist Checkstyle Lint
========================

[](#arcanist-checkstyle-lint)

Project Goals
-------------

[](#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
------------

[](#similar-work)

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

Justification
-------------

[](#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
-----------

[](#limitations)

- Only tested with shellcheck

Summary
-------

[](#summary)

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

- Amusingly, it fails PSR2

Compatibility
-------------

[](#compatibility)

### PHP

[](#php)

- 5.6 (probably)
- 7

Installation
------------

[](#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
-----

[](#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'"
    }
    ...
  }
}

```
