build: update Dart, dart analyzer to 3.2.4 (#5065)
Recent versions of dart analyzer don't support the --options
configuration option anymore, so we cannot pass an arbitrary
configuration file. This commit removes the default dart analyzer
configuration file as well, because it's not needed anymore.

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.

Dart

  • super-linter doesn't include a default configuration file for dart analyzer because the Dart SDK doesn't support running dart analyzer against an arbitrary configuration file anymore. For more information about how to customize static analysis of Dart files, see Customizing static analysis in the Dart SDK documentation.

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.
