fix: add missing fix mode options and test cases (#5987) 
- Add missing fix mode options for: CLANG_FORMAT, ENV,
  GOOGLE_JAVA_FORMAT, NATURAL_LANGUAGE, PYTHON_ISORT, RUST_CLIPPY.
- Refactor linter tests to make them shorter because there's no need to
  have big test files.
- Refactor 'bad' linter tests for linters that support fix mode so they
  contain only automatically fixable issues. This is needed to avoid
  adding another set of 'bad' linter tests for fix mode.
- Provide configuration files for linters that support fix mode and for
  which the default configuration is not suitable to enable fix mode:
  ansible-lint, ESLint, golangci-lint.
- Add a test case for linter commands options for linters that support
  fix mode, to ensure that fix mode and check-only mode options have
  been defined.
- Refactor the fix mode test to check if linters actually applied
  modifications to files.
- Update documentation about adding test cases for linters that support
  fix mode.
- Don't exit with a fatal error if VALIDATE_xxx is false when testing
  fix mode because not all linters support fix mode. To enable this, set
  the new FIX_MODE_TEST_CASE_RUN variable to true.

# Super-Linter
Super-linter is a ready-to-run collection of linters and code analyzers, to
help validate and fix your source code.
The goal of super-linter is to help you establish best practices and consistent
formatting across multiple programming languages, and ensure developers are
adhering to those conventions.
Super-linter analyzes source code files using several tools, and reports the
issues that those tools find as console output, and as
[GitHub Actions status checks](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/collaborating-on-repositories-with-code-quality-features/about-status-checks).
You can also [run super-linter outside GitHub Actions](#run-super-linter-outside-github-actions).
Super-linter can also help you [fix linting and formatting issues](#fix-linting-and-formatting-issues).
Super-linter is licensed under an
[MIT License](https://github.com/super-linter/super-linter/blob/main/LICENSE).
[![Super-Linter](https://github.com/super-linter/super-linter/actions/workflows/cd.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/super-linter)
Here are some notable Super-linter features:
- **MIT License**: Super-linter is licensed under a [MIT License](LICENSE).
- **Independent project**: Super-linter is maintained by a team of independent
developers and is not commercially backed by any entity that might influence
the course of the project.
- **Widely used**: Super-linter is the
[most widely used](https://github.com/super-linter/super-linter/network/dependents)
and [forked](https://github.com/super-linter/super-linter/forks) project of
this kind.
- **Runs linters in parallel**: Since `v6`, Super-linter parallelizes
running all the included linters, leading to scanning massive code
repositories in seconds.
- **Highly curated set of linters**: Avoid including linters that implement
overlapping checks, reducing bloat, scanning times, and container image size.
- **Run on GitHub Actions or other environments**: Super-linter runs
[on GitHub Actions](#get-started) and
[other runtime environments](#run-using-a-container-runtime-engine), with the
only dependency of an OCI-compatible container runtime engine, such as Docker.
- **Lean codebase**: Super-linter doesn't reinvent the wheel, and builds on top
of established tools and standards, such as
[GNU Parallel](https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/).
- **Extensive test suite**: Super-linter includes an extensive test suite that
covers every single linter and analyzer that Super-linter ships.
- **Original design**: to the best of our knowledge, Super-linter is the first
open-source, fully-containerized linting suite. Other projects borrow ideas
and design choices from Super-linter (and we're cool with that :).

The `VALIDATE_[LANGUAGE]` variables work as follows:
- super-linter runs all supported linters by default.
- If you set any of the `VALIDATE_[LANGUAGE]` variables to `true`, super-linter defaults to leaving any unset variable to false (only validate those languages).
- If you set any of the `VALIDATE_[LANGUAGE]` variables to `false`, super-linter defaults to leaving any unset variable to true (only exclude those languages).
- If you set any of the `VALIDATE_[LANGUAGE]` variables to both `true` and `false`, super-linter fails reporting an error.
For more information about reusing Super-linter configuration across
environments, see
[Share Environment variables between environments](docs/run-linter-locally.md#share-environment-variables-between-environments).
## Fix linting and formatting issues
All the linters and formatters that Super-linter runs report errors if they
detect linting or formatting issues without modifying your source
code (_check only mode_). Check only mode is the default for all linters and
formatters that Super-linter runs.
Certain linters and formatters support automatically fixing issues in your code
(_fix mode_). You can enable fix mode for a particular linter or formatter by
setting the relevant `FIX_<language name>` variable to `true`. To know which
linters and formatters support fix mode, refer to the
[Configure Super-linter section](#configure-super-linter).
Setting a `FIX_<language name>` variable to `true` implies setting the
corresponding `VALIDATE_<language name>` to `true`. Setting a
`FIX_<language name>` variable to `true` and the corresponding
`VALIDATE_<language name>` to `false` is a configuration error. Super-linter
reports that as a fatal error.
Super-linter supports the following locations to deliver fixes:
- In the current Super-linter workspace, so you can process the changes to your
files by yourself. For example:
- If you're running Super-linter in your CI environment, such as GitHub
Actions, you can commit and push changes as part of your workflow.
- If you're running Super-linter locally, you can commit the changes as you
would with any other change in your working directory.
### Fix mode for ansible-lint
ansible-lint requires that the `yaml` rule is enabled to for the ansible-lint
fix mode to work. The default ansible-lint configuration that Super-linter ships
disables the `yaml` rule because it might not be compatible with yamllint. If
you need to enable the ansible-lint fix mode, provide an ansible-lint
configuration that doesn't ignore the `yaml` rule.
### Fix mode file and directory ownership
When fix mode is enabled, some linters and formatters don't maintain the
original file or directory ownership, and use the user that Super-linter uses
to run the linter or formatter.
## Configure linters
Super-linter provides default configurations for some linters in the [`TEMPLATES/`](TEMPLATES/)
directory. You can customize the configuration for the linters that support
this by placing your own configuration files in the `LINTER_RULES_PATH`
directory. `LINTER_RULES_PATH` is relative to the `DEFAULT_WORKSPACE` directory.
Super-linter supports customizing the name of these configuration files. For
more information, refer to [Configure super-linter](#configure-super-linter).
For example, you can configure super-linter to load configuration files from the
`config/lint` directory in your repository:
```yaml
env:
LINTER_RULES_PATH: `config/lint`
```
Some of the linters that super-linter provides can be configured to disable
certain rules or checks, and to ignore certain files or part of them.
For more information about how to configure each linter, review
[their own documentation](#supported-linters-and-code-analyzers).
## Include or exclude files from checks
If you need to include or exclude directories from being checked, you can use
two environment variables: `FILTER_REGEX_INCLUDE` and `FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE`.
For example:
- Lint only the `src` folder: `FILTER_REGEX_INCLUDE: .*src/.*`
- Do not lint files inside test folder: `FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE: .*test/.*`
- Do not lint JavaScript files inside test folder: `FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE: .*test/.*.js`
<!-- This `README.md` has both markers in the text, so it is considered not generated. -->
Additionally, if you set `IGNORE_GENERATED_FILES` to `true`, super-linter
ignores any file with `@generated` string in it, unless the file
also has `@not-generated` marker. For example, super-linter considers a file
with the following contents as generated:
```bash
#!/bin/sh
echo "@generated"
```
while considers this file as not generated:
```bash
#!/bin/sh
echo "@generated" # @not-generated
```
Finally, you can set `IGNORE_GITIGNORED_FILES` to `true` to ignore a file if Git
ignores it too.
## Run Super-Linter outside GitHub Actions
You don't need GitHub Actions to run super-linter. It supports several runtime
environments.
### Run using a container runtime engine
You can run super-linter outside GitHub Actions. For example, you can run
super-linter from a shell:
```bash
docker run \
-e LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG \
-e RUN_LOCAL=true \
-v /path/to/local/codebase:/tmp/lint \
ghcr.io/super-linter/super-linter:latest
```
For more information, see
[Run super-linter outside GitHub Actions](https://github.com/super-linter/super-linter/blob/main/docs/run-linter-locally.md).
## Use your own SSH key and certificate
If you need to use your own SSH key to authenticate against private
repositories, you can use the `SSH_KEY` environment variable. The value of that
environment variable is expected to be the private key of an SSH keypair that
has access to your private repositories.
For example, you can configure this private key as an
[Encrypted Secret](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/encrypted-secrets)
and access it with the `secrets` parameter from your GitHub Actions workflow:
```yaml
env:
SSH_KEY: ${{ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }}
```
If you need to inject a SSL certificate into the trust store, you can use the
`SSL_CERT_SECRET` variable. The value of that variable is expected to be the
path to the files that contains a CA that can be used to validate the certificate:
```yaml
env:
SSL_CERT_SECRET: ${{ secrets.ROOT_CA }}
```
## Outputs
Super-linter supports generating several outputs, and also supports exposing
the output of individual linters.
### Summary outputs
Super-linter writes a summary of all the checks:
- If `SAVE_SUPER_LINTER_SUMMARY` is set to `true`, Super-linter writes
a summary to
`${DEFAULT_WORKSPACE}/${SUPER_LINTER_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_NAME}/${SUPER_LINTER_SUMMARY_FILE_NAME}`.
- If `ENABLE_GITHUB_ACTIONS_STEP_SUMMARY` is set to `true`, Super-linter writes
a GitHub Actions job summary. Setting `ENABLE_GITHUB_ACTIONS_STEP_SUMMARY` to
`true`, implies setting `SAVE_SUPER_LINTER_SUMMARY` to `true`.
The summary is in Markdown format. Super-linter supports the following formats:
- Table (default)
The summary output of previous Super-linter runs is not preserved.
### Super-linter outputs
If you set `SAVE_SUPER_LINTER_OUTPUT` to `true`, Super-linter saves its output
to `${DEFAULT_WORKSPACE}/${SUPER_LINTER_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_NAME}/super-linter`, so you
can further process it, if needed.
Most outputs are in JSON format.
The output of previous Super-linter runs is not preserved.
### Linter reports and outputs
Some linters support configuring the format of their outputs for further
processing. To get access to that output, enable it using the respective linter
configuration file. If a linter requires a path for the output directory, you
can use the value of the `${DEFAULT_WORKSPACE}` variable.
If a linter doesn't support setting an arbitrary output path as described in the
previous paragraph, but only supports emitting results to standard output or
standard error streams, you can
[enable Super-linter outputs](#super-linter-outputs) and parse them.
