How do I setup YAML linting in Arcanist?

I can't figure out how to do custom linting pre-diff in Arcanist (YAML, specifically). The instructions don't explain how to integrate a new linter into my existing .arclint configuration.

Solution

  • I figured this out on my own, and thought I'd share here in case anyone else has this issue.

    The following .arclint file does the trick:

    {
  "linters": {
    "yaml": {
      "type": "script-and-regex",
      "script-and-regex.script": "yamllint",
      "script-and-regex.regex": "/^(?P<line>\\d+):(?P<offset>\\d+) +(?P<severity>warning|error) +(?P<message>.*) +\\((?P<name>.*)\\)$/m",
      "include": "(\\.yml$)",
      "exclude": [ ]
    }
  }
}

    I haven't extensively tried out that regex, but it works for my purposes so far.

    You can configure Yamllint by populating a .yamllint file in the repository root.
