yamllint plugin example
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
This is a yamllint plugin example as a reference, contains the following rules.
|
|
|
|
- ``forbid-comments`` to forbid comments
|
|
- ``random-failure`` to fail randomly
|
|
|
|
To enable thes rules in yamllint, you must add them to your `yamllint config
|
|
file <https://yamllint.readthedocs.io/en/stable/configuration.html>`_:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
extends: default
|
|
|
|
rules:
|
|
forbid-comments: enable
|
|
random-failure: enable
|
|
|
|
How to develop rule plugins
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
yamllint rule plugins must satisfy the followings.
|
|
|
|
#. It must be a Python package installable using pip and distributed under
|
|
GPLv3+ same as yamllint.
|
|
|
|
How to make a Python package is beyond the scope of this README file. Please
|
|
refer to the official guide (`Python Packaging User Guide
|
|
<https://packaging.python.org/>`_ ) and related documents.
|
|
|
|
#. It must contains the entry point configuration in ``setup.cfg`` or something
|
|
similar packaging configuration files, to make it installed and working as a
|
|
yamllint plugin like below. (``<plugin_name>`` is that plugin name and
|
|
``<plugin_src_dir>`` is a dir where the rule modules exist.)
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
[options.entry_points]
|
|
yamllint.plugins.rules =
|
|
<plugin_name> = <plugin_src_dir>
|
|
|
|
#. It must contain custom yamllint rule modules:
|
|
|
|
- Each rule module must define a couple of global variables, ``ID`` and
|
|
``TYPE``. ``ID`` must not conflicts with other rules' IDs.
|
|
- Each rule module must define a function named 'check' to test input data
|
|
complies with the rule.
|
|
- Each rule module may have other global variables.
|
|
- ``CONF`` to define its configuration parameters and those types.
|
|
- ``DEFAULT`` to provide default values for each configuration parameters.
|
|
|
|
#. It must define a global variable ``RULES`` to provide an iterable object, a
|
|
tuple or a list for example, of tuples of rule ID and rule modules to
|
|
yamllint like this.
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
RULES = (
|
|
# (rule module ID, rule module)
|
|
(a_custom_rule_module.ID, a_custom_rule_module),
|
|
(other_custom_rule_module.ID, other_custom_rule_module),
|
|
)
