# How to add support for a new tool to super-linter
|
|
|
|
If you want to propose a *Pull Request* to add **new** language support or a
|
|
new tool, it should include:
|
|
|
|
- Update documentation:
|
|
- `README.md`
|
|
- Provide test cases:
|
|
|
|
1. Create the `test/linters/<LANGUGAGE>` directory.
|
|
2. Provide at least one test case with a file that is supposed to pass validation: `test/linters/<LANGUAGE>/<name-of-tool>-good`
|
|
3. Provide at least one test case with a file that is supposed to fail validation: `test/linters/<LANGUAGE>/<name-of-tool>-bad`
|
|
|
|
- Update the test suite to check for installed packages, the commands that your new tool needs in the `PATH`, and the expected version command:
|
|
|
|
- `test/inspec/super-linter/controls/super_linter.rb`
|
|
|
|
- Install the tool by pointing to specific package or container image versions:
|
|
|
|
- If there are PyPi packages, create a text file named `dependencies/python/<name-of-tool>.txt`
|
|
and list the packages there.
|
|
- If there are npm packages, update `dependencies/package.json` and `dependencies/package-lock.json`.
|
|
by adding the new packages.
|
|
- If there are Ruby Gems, update `dependencies/Gemfile` and `dependencies/Gemfile.lock`
|
|
- If there are Maven or Java packages:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a directory named `dependencies/<name-of-tool>`.
|
|
2. Create a `dependencies/<name-of-tool>/build.gradle` file with the following contents:
|
|
|
|
```gradle
|
|
repositories {
|
|
mavenLocal()
|
|
mavenCentral()
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Hold this dependency here so we can get automated updates using DependaBot
|
|
dependencies {
|
|
implementation 'your:dependency-here:version'
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
group 'com.github.super-linter'
|
|
version '1.0.0-SNAPSHOT'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Update the `dependencies` section in `dependencies/<name-of-tool>/build.gradle` to
|
|
install your dependencies.
|
|
4. Add the following content to the `Dockerfile`:
|
|
|
|
```dockerfile
|
|
COPY scripts/install-<name-of-tool>.sh /
|
|
RUN --mount=type=secret,id=GITHUB_TOKEN /<name-of-tool>.sh && rm -rf /<name-of-tool>.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. Create `scripts/install-<name-of-tool>.sh`, and implement the logic to install your tool.
|
|
You get the version of a dependency from `build.gradle`. Example:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
GOOGLE_JAVA_FORMAT_VERSION="$(grep <"google-java-format/build.gradle" "google-java-format" | awk -F ':' '{print $3}' | tr -d "'")"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
6. Add the new to DependaBot configuration:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- package-ecosystem: "gradle"
|
|
directory: "/dependencies/<name-of-tool>"
|
|
schedule:
|
|
interval: "weekly"
|
|
open-pull-requests-limit: 10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- If there is a container (Docker) image:
|
|
|
|
1. Add a new build stage to get the image:
|
|
|
|
```dockerfile
|
|
FROM your/image:version as <name-of-tool>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Copy the necessary binaries and libraries to the relevant locations. Example:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
COPY --from=<name-of-tool> /usr/local/bin/<name-of-command> /usr/bin/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Configure the new tool:
|
|
|
|
- Provide a default configuration file only if the tool cannot function without one: `TEMPLATES/<template file for language>`
|
|
- Provide a configuration file for the new linter only if the default configuration is unsuitable for the super-linter repository: `.github/linters/.<lintrc>`
|
|
|
|
- Update the orchestration scripts to run the new tool:
|
|
|
|
- `lib/linter.sh`
|
|
- Provide the logic to populate the list of files or directories to examine: `lib/buildFileList.sh`
|
|
- If necessary, provide elaborate logic to detect if the tool should examine a file or a directory: `lib/detectFiles.sh`
|
|
- If the tool needs to take into account special cases:
|
|
|
|
- Provide new runtime validation checks in `lib/validation.sh`.
|
|
- Customize the logic to get the installed version of the tool: `lib/linterVersions.sh`
|
|
- Provide custom logic to load configuration files: `lib/linterRules.sh`
|
|
- Provide custom logic for test cases and to run the tool: `lib/worker.sh`
