NPM GROOVY LINT (+ Format & Auto-fix)

Groovy & Jenkinsfile Linter, Formatter and Auto-fixer

New: The article about the story of npm-groovy-lint, and why you should dive in open-source community !

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

Use option --format to format & prettify source code
Use option --fix to activate autofixing of fixable rules

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

You can also use this package in :

Visual Studio Code Groovy Lint extension
Mega-Linter (can be used as GitHub Action, and lints all other languages and formats)
Docker Image

See CHANGELOG

Usage

    npm-groovy-lint [OPTIONS] [FILES|PATH|PATTERN]

| Parameter | Type | Description | |-------------------------|---------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | -o --output | String | Output format (txt,json,sarif,html,xml), or path to a file with one of these extensions Default: txt Examples: - "txt" - "json" - "./logs/myLintResults.txt" - "./logs/myLintResults.sarif" - "./logs/myLintResults.html" - "./logs/myLintResults.xml"Note: HTML and XML are directly from CodeNarc so using these formats will disable many npm-groovy-lint features | | -l --loglevel | String | Log level (error,warning or info)Default: info | | --failon | String | Defines the error level where CLI will fail (return code = 1). error,warning,info or none. Each failure level includes the more critical ones. | | -c --config | String | Custom path to GroovyLint config file, or preset config recommended\|recommended-jenkinsfile\|all Default: Browse current directory to find .groovylintrc.json\|js\|yml\|package.json config file, or default npm-groovy-lint config if not defined.Note: command-line arguments have priority on config file properties | | --parse | Boolean | Try to compile the source code and return parse errors (since v5.7.0, default to true, use --no-parse to deactivate) | | --format | Boolean | Format source code | | --fix | Boolean | Automatically fix problems when possible See Auto-fixable rules | | -x --fixrules | String | Option for --fix argument: List of rule identifiers to fix (if not specified, all available fixes will be applied). See Auto-fixable rules Examples: - "SpaceBeforeClosingBrace,SpaceAfterClosingBrace,UnusedImport" - "Indentation" | | --nolintafter | Boolean | When format or fix is called, a new lint is performed after the fixes to update the returned error list. If you just want the updated source code and do not care about the error logs, use this parameter to improve performances | | -r --rulesets | String | RuleSet file(s) to use for linting, if you do not want to use recommended rules or .groovylintrc.js defined rules.If list of comma separated strings corresponding to CodeNarc rules, a RuleSet file will be dynamically generated Examples: - "./config/codenarc/RuleSet-Custom.groovy" - "./path/to/my/ruleset/files"- Indentation{"spacesPerIndentLevel":2,"severity":"warning"},UnnecessarySemicolon,UnnecessaryGString | | --rulesetsoverridetype | String | If list of rules sent in rulesets option, defines if they replace rules defined in .groovylintrc.json, or if they are appended Values: replaceConfig (default), appendConfig | | -s --source | String | If path and files are not set, you can directly send the source code string to analyze | | --verbose | Boolean | More outputs in console, including performed fixes | | -i --ignorepattern | String | Comma-separated list of Ant-style file patterns specifying files that must be ignored Default: none Example: "**/test/*"" | | --noserver | Boolean | npm-groovy-lint launches a microservice to avoid performance issues caused by loading java/groovy each time,that auto kills itself after 1h idle. Use this argument if you do not want to use this feature | | --returnrules | Boolean | Return rules descriptions and URL if set | | --javaexecutable | String | Override java executable to use Default: javaExample: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_144\bin\java.exe | | --javaoptions | String | Override java options to use Default: "-Xms256m,-Xmx2048m" | | --insight | Boolean | npm-groovy-lint collects anonymous usage statistics using amplitude, in order to make new improvements based on how users use this package. Summary charts are available at https://tinyurl.com/groovy-stats. Analytics obviously does not receive sensitive information like your code, as you can see in analytics.js. If you want to enable anonymous usage statistics, use --insight option. | | --codenarcargs | String | Use core CodeNarc arguments (all npm-groovy-lint arguments will be ignored) Doc: http://codenarc.github.io/CodeNarc/codenarc-command-line.html Example: npm-groovy-lint --codenarcargs -basedir="lib/example" -rulesetfiles="file: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) | | -v --version | Boolean | Show npm-groovy-lint version (with CodeNarc version) | | -p --path | String | (DEPRECATED) Directory containing the files to lint Example: ./path/to/my/groovy/files | | -f --files | String | (DEPRECATED) Comma-separated list of Ant-style file patterns specifying files that must be included.

Installation

    npm install -g npm-groovy-lint

If you have issues with v9, install previous version with npm install -g [email protected]
Node.js >= 12 is required to run this package. If you can't upgrade, you can use nvm to have different node versions on your computer
If you do not have java 17 installed on your computer, npm-groovy-lint will install them for you, so the first run may be long.

Configuration

Default rules definition (recommended, based on all tracks a lot of errors, do not hesitate to ignore some of them (like NoDef ou RequiredVariableType) if they are too mean for your project.

Create a file named .groovylintrc.json in the current or any parent directory of where your files to analyze are located

your-repo-root-folder
- src
  - groovy
    - mygroovyfile.groovy
- Jenkinsfile
- .groovylintrc.json (do not forget the dot at the beginning of the file name)

If you are using VsCode Groovy Lint extension, just use QuickFix Ignore in all files and it will generate groovylintrc.json file.

Format

extends: Name of a base configuration (recommended, recommended-jenkinsfile, all)
rules: List of rules definition, following format "RuleSection.RuleName": ruleParameters or "RuleName": ruleParameters
- RuleName: any of the CodeNarc rules
- ruleParameters: can be just a severity override ( "off", "error", "warning", "info" ) , or a property list :
  - severity : off,error,warning,info
  - enabled : true (default) or false
  - any of the rule advanced properties

codenarcRulesets: Comma-separated string containing the list of .xml or .groovy CodeNarc RuleSet files (in case you already are a CodeNarc user and do not wish to switch to npm-groovy-lint config format)

Examples

{
    "extends": "recommended",
    "rules": {
        "comments.ClassJavadoc": "off",
        "formatting.Indentation": {
            "spacesPerIndentLevel": 4,
            "severity": "info"
        },
        "UnnecessaryReturnKeyword": "error"
    }
}

{
    "extends": "recommended-jenkinsfile",
    "rules": {
        "CouldBeElvis": "off",
        "CouldBeSwitchStatement": "off",
        "VariableName": {
            "severity": "info"
        }
    }
}

{
    "codenarcRulesets": "RuleSet-1.groovy,RuleSet-2.groovy"
}

Disabling rules in source

You can disable rules directly by adding comment in file, using eslint style

To temporarily disable rule warnings in your file, use block comments in the following format:

/* groovylint-disable */

def variable = 1;

/* groovylint-enable */

You can also disable or enable warnings for specific rules:

/* groovylint-disable NoDef, UnnecessarySemicolon */

def variable = 1;

/* groovylint-enable NoDef, UnnecessarySemicolon */

To disable rule warnings in an entire file, put a /* groovylint-disable */ block comment at the top of the file:

/* groovylint-disable */

def variable = 1;

You can also disable or enable specific rules for an entire file:

/* groovylint-disable NoDef */

def variable = 1;

To disable all rules on a specific line, use a line or block comment in one of the following formats:

def variable = 1; // groovylint-disable-line

// groovylint-disable-next-line
def variable = 1;

/* groovylint-disable-next-line */
def variable = 1;

def variable = 1; /* groovylint-disable-line */

To disable a specific rule on a specific line:

def variable = 1; // groovylint-disable-line NoDef

// groovylint-disable-next-line NoDef
def variable = 1;

def variable = 1; /* groovylint-disable-line NoDef */

/* groovylint-disable-next-line NoDef */
def variable = 1;

To disable multiple rules on a specific line:

def variable = 1; // groovylint-disable-line NoDef, UnnecessarySemicolon

// groovylint-disable-next-line NoDef, UnnecessarySemicolon
def variable = 1;

def variable = 1; /* groovylint-disable-line NoDef, UnnecessarySemicolon */

/* groovylint-disable-next-line NoDef, UnnecessarySemicolon */
def variable = 1;

docker run --rm -u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" -w=/tmp -v "$PWD":/tmp nvuillam/npm-groovy-lint --failon warning --verbose

Other

You can run npm-groovy-lint using its official docker image

Use as module

You can import npm-groovy-lint into your NPM package and call lint & fix via module, using the same options than from npm-groovy-lint command line

Example

    npm install npm-groovy-lint --save

    const NpmGroovyLint = require("npm-groovy-lint/lib/groovy-lint.js");
    const fse = require("fs-extra");

    const npmGroovyLintConfig = {
        source: fse.readFileSync('./lib/example/SampleFile.groovy').toString(),
        fix: true,
        loglevel: 'warning',
        output: 'none'
    };
    const linter = new NpmGroovyLint(npmGroovyLintConfig, {});
    await linter.run();
    console.log(JSON.stringify(linter.lintResult));
