Behind the scenes

How are identified applicable files

  • Activated only if one of these files is found: .swiftlint.yml
  • File extensions: .swift

How the linting is performed

swiftlint is called once on the whole project directory (project CLI lint mode)

  • filtering can not be done using MegaLinter configuration variables,it must be done using swiftlint configuration or ignore file (if existing)
  • VALIDATE_ALL_CODEBASE: false doesn't make swiftlint analyze only updated files

Example calls

docker run -v /tmp/lint:/tmp/lint:rw norionomura/swiftlint:latest swiftlint lint --path /tmp/lint --strict

docker run -v /tmp/lint:/tmp/lint:rw norionomura/swiftlint:latest swiftlint --fix --path /tmp/lint --strict
