feat!: validate configuration when using find (#5045)
- Fail if the configuration contains USE_FIND_ALGORITHM=true and
  VALIDATE_ALL_CODEBASE=false because this is an unsupported
  configuration. Before this change, super-linter silently ignored
  VALIDATE_ALL_CODEBASE, leading to potentially surprising behavior.

Super-linter upgrade guide

This document helps you upgrade from a super-linter version to newer ones:

Upgrade from v5 to v6

This section helps you migrate from super-linter v5 to v6.

Experimental batch workers

  • Experimental batch support is deprecated. You can safely remove the EXPERIMENTAL_BATCH_WORKER variable from your configuration.

Gitleaks

  • If you defined secret patterns in .gitleaks.toml, Gitleaks may report errors about that file. If this happens, you can configure Gitleaks to ignore that file.
  • Gitleaks doesn't consider the FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE, FILTER_REGEX_INCLUDE, IGNORE_GENERATED_FILES, IGNORE_GITIGNORED_FILES variables. For more information about how to ignore files with Gitleaks, see the Gitleaks documentation.

Jscpd

  • The VALIDATE_JSCPD_ALL_CODEBASE variable is deprecated. Jscpd now lints the entire workspace instead of linting files one by one. You can safely remove the VALIDATE_JSCPD_ALL_CODEBASE variable from your configuration.
  • Jscpd doesn't consider the FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE, FILTER_REGEX_INCLUDE, IGNORE_GENERATED_FILES, IGNORE_GITIGNORED_FILES variables. For more information about how to ignore files with Jscpd, see the Jscpd documentation.

textlint

  • textlint doesn't consider the FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE, FILTER_REGEX_INCLUDE, IGNORE_GENERATED_FILES, IGNORE_GITIGNORED_FILES variables. For more information about how to ignore files with textlint, see the textlint documentation.

USE_FIND_ALGORITHM and VALIDATE_ALL_CODEBASE used together

  • Setting USE_FIND_ALGORITHM to true and VALIDATE_ALL_CODEBASE to false is an unsupported configuration. super-linter v5 and earlier silently ignored VALIDATE_ALL_CODEBASE when USE_FIND_ALGORITHM is set to true, leading to potentially confusing behavior for users. super-linter v6 explicitly fail in this case. Remove one of the two from your configuration, depending on the desired behavior.

VALIDATE_KOTLIN_ANDROID

  • The VALIDATE_KOTLIN_ANDROID variable has been deprecated because ktlint handles linting Kotlin files for Android using a configuration option, so super-linter doesn't need to account for this special case anymore. If you set VALIDATE_KOTLIN_ANDROID in your configuration, change it to VALIDATE_KOTLIN and configure ktlint to lint Android files.
