# Run super-linter outside GitHub Actions
|
|
|
|
If you want to run super-linter outside GitHub Actions, you need a container
|
|
runtime engine to run the super-linter container image.
|
|
|
|
## Run super-linter Locally
|
|
|
|
You can run the container locally with the following configuration options to run your code:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run \
|
|
-e ACTIONS_RUNNER_DEBUG=true \
|
|
-e RUN_LOCAL=true \
|
|
-v /path/to/local/codebase:/tmp/lint \
|
|
--rm \
|
|
ghcr.io/super-linter/super-linter:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This example uses the `latest` container image version. If you're trying to reproduce
|
|
an issue, or running super-linter as part of your CI pipeline, we recommend that
|
|
you **refer to a specific version instead**.
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
- To run against a single file you can use: `docker run -e RUN_LOCAL=true -e USE_FIND_ALGORITHM=true -v /path/to/local/codebase/file:/tmp/lint/file ghcr.io/super-linter/super-linter`
|
|
- You need to pass the `RUN_LOCAL` option to bypass some of the GitHub Actions checks, as well as the mapping of your local codebase to `/tmp/lint`.
|
|
- If you want to override the `/tmp/lint` folder, you can set the `DEFAULT_WORKSPACE` environment variable to point to the folder you'd prefer to scan.
|
|
- You can add as many configuration options as needed. Configuration options are documented in the [README](../README.md#configure-super-linter).

### Run on Codespaces and Visual Studio Code
|
|
|
|
This repository provides a DevContainer for [remote development](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers).
|
|
|
|
## Share Environment variables between environments
|
|
|
|
To avoid duplication if you run super-linter both locally and in other
|
|
environements, such as CI, you can define configuration options once, and load
|
|
them accordingly:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a configuration file for super-linter `super-linter.env`. For example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
VALIDATE_ALL_CODEBASE=true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Load the super-linter configuration file when running outside GitHub Actions:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run --rm \
|
|
-e RUN_LOCAL=true \
|
|
--env-file ".github/super-linter.env" \
|
|
-v "$(pwd)":/tmp/lint \
|
|
ghcr.io/super-linter/super-linter:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Load the super-linter configuration file when running in GitHub Actions by
|
|
adding the following step to the GitHub Actions workflow that runs
|
|
super-linter, after checking out your repository and before running
|
|
super-linter:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- name: Load super-linter configuration
|
|
run: cat .github/super-linter.env >> "$GITHUB_ENV"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Build the container image and run the test suite locally
|
|
|
|
To run the build and test process locally, do the following:
|
|
|
|
1. [Create a fine-grained GitHub personal access token](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens#creating-a-fine-grained-personal-access-token).
|
|
1. Create a file to store the personal access token on your machine:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
touch .github-personal-access-token
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The file to store the personal access token is ignored by Git.
|
|
|
|
1. Run the build process:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To avoid invalidating the build cache, and reuse it, you can set build metadata
|
|
to arbitrary values before running `make`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
BUILD_DATE=2023-12-12T09:32:05Z \
|
|
BUILD_REVISION=83c16f63caa9d432df4519efb4c58a56e2190bd6 \
|
|
BUILD_VERSION=83c16f63caa9d432df4519efb4c58a56e2190bd6 \
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run the test suite against an arbitrary super-linter container image
|
|
|
|
You can run the test suite against an arbitrary super-linter container image.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example that runs the test suite against the `v5.4.3` container
|
|
image version.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
CONTAINER_IMAGE_ID="ghcr.io/super-linter/super-linter:v5.4.3" \
|
|
BUILD_DATE="2023-10-17T17:00:53Z" \
|
|
BUILD_REVISION=b0d1acee1f8050d1684a28ddbf8315f81d084fe9 \
|
|
BUILD_VERSION=b0d1acee1f8050d1684a28ddbf8315f81d084fe9 \
|
|
make docker-pull test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Initialize the `BUILD_DATE`, `BUILD_REVISION`, and `BUILD_VERSION` variables
|
|
with the values for that specific container image version. You can get these
|
|
values from the build log for that version.
|
|
|
|
### Get the list of available build targets
|
|
|
|
To get the list of the available `Make` targets, run the following command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
make help
|
|
```
