NPM GROOVY LINT (and FIX !)

Groovy / Jenkinsfile linter and autofixer

Based on CodeNarc , this out of the box package allows to track groovy errors and correct a part of them

Use option --fix to activate autofixing (the function is still in experimental phase, you may have to run it several times at first so CodeNarc take in account the updates)

Easy to integrate in a CD/CI process (Jenkins Pipeline,CircleCI...) to lint your groovy or Jenkinsfile at each build :)

INSTALLATION

    $ npm install -g npm-groovy-lint

USAGE

    $ npm-groovy-lint OPTIONS

Parameter	Type	Description
-p --path	String	Directory containing the files to lint Example: ./path/to/my/groovy/files
-f --files	String	Comma-separated list of Ant-style file patterns specifying files that must be included. Default: "**/*.groovy,**/Jenkinsfile", or "**/*.groovy" if --rulesets Groovy, or **/Jenkinsfile if --rulesets Jenkinsfile Examples: - "**/Jenkinsfile"<br/> - "*/*.groovy"
-r --rulesets	String	RuleSet file(s) to use for linting. If it is a directory, all rulesets will be used. RuleSet file definition: http://codenarc.sourceforge.net/codenarc-creating-ruleset.html. If not specified, npm-groovy-script default ones will be used depending on file types found in --path: - Groovy recommended rules, also usable with --rulesets Groovy - Jenkinsfile recommended rules, also usable with --rulesets Jenkinsfile Examples: - "./config/codenarc/RuleSet-Custom.groovy" - "./path/to/my/ruleset/files" - Jenkinsfile
-o --output	String	Output format (txt,json,html,xml), or path to a file with one of these extensions Default: txt Examples: - "txt" - "json" - "./logs/myLintResults.txt" - "./logs/myLintResults.json" - "./logs/myLintResults.html" - "./logs/myLintResults.xml"
-l --loglevel	String	Log level (error,warning or info) Default: info
-v --verbose	Boolean	More outputs in console, including performed fixes
--fix	Boolean	(Experimental) Automatically fix problems when possible See Autofixable rules
-i --ignore-pattern	String	Comma-separated list of Ant-style file patterns specifying files that must be ignored Default: none Example: "**/test/*""
--failonerror	Boolean	Fails if at least one error is found
--failonwarning	Boolean	Fails if at least one warning is found
--failoninfo	Boolean	Fails if at least one error is found
--codenarcargs	Boolean	Use core CodeNarc arguments (all npm-groovy-lint arguments will be ignored) Doc: http://codenarc.sourceforge.net/codenarc-command-line.html Example: npm-groovy-lint --codenarcargs -basedir="jdeploy-bundle/lib/example" -rulesetfiles="file:jdeploy-bundle/lib/example/RuleSet-Groovy.groovy" -maxPriority1Violations=0 -report="xml:ReportTestCodenarc.xml
-h --help	Boolean	Show help (npm-groovy-lint -h OPTIONNAME to see option detail with examples)

EXAMPLES
