Super-linter upgrade guide

This document helps you upgrade from a super-linter version to newer ones:

Upgrade from v6 to v7

This section helps you upgrade from super-linter v6 to v7.

sql-lint, VALIDATE_SQL and SQL_CONFIG_FILE

sql-lint appears to be unmaintained, and its dependencies are affected by known security vulnerabilities. For this reason, Super-linter v7 doesn't include sql-lint anymore. If you are using sql-lint to check your SQL files, we recommend that you evaluate sqlfluff, included in Super-linter since v4.6.0.

You can remove the VALIDATE_SQL and SQL_CONFIG_FILE because they have no effect.

Upgrade from v6.7.0 to v6.8.0

This section helps you upgrade from super-linter v6.7.0 to v6.8.0.

JAVASCRIPT_DEFAULT_STYLE and TYPESCRIPT_DEFAULT_STYLE

  • The JAVASCRIPT_DEFAULT_STYLE and TYPESCRIPT_DEFAULT_STYLE have been deprecated because they made the VALIDATE_JAVASCRIPT_PRETTIER, VALIDATE_JAVASCRIPT_STANDARD, VALIDATE_TYPESCRIPT_PRETTIER, and VALIDATE_TYPESCRIPT_STANDARD configuration variables break the documented behavior of how VALIDATE_xxx variables work. Unfortunately, a transparent configuration update is not feasible without complicating the codebase to address all possible cases. If you only want to run only one between Prettier and Standard, a possible migration strategy could be:

    • If you're explicitly enabling linters and formatters that you want Super-linter to run by setting VALIDATE_xxxx variables to true:

      • If you set JAVASCRIPT_DEFAULT_STYLE=standard, set VALIDATE_JAVASCRIPT_STANDARD=true
      • If you set TYPESCRIPT_DEFAULT_STYLE=standard, set VALIDATE_TYPESCRIPT_STANDARD=true
      • If you set JAVASCRIPT_DEFAULT_STYLE=prettier, set VALIDATE_JAVASCRIPT_PRETTIER=true
      • If you set TYPESCRIPT_DEFAULT_STYLE=prettier, set VALIDATE_TYPESCRIPT_PRETTIER=true

    • If you're explicitly disabling linters and formatters that you don't want Super-linter to run by setting VALIDATE_xxxx variables to false:

      • If you set JAVASCRIPT_DEFAULT_STYLE=standard, set VALIDATE_JAVASCRIPT_PRETTIER=false
      • If you set TYPESCRIPT_DEFAULT_STYLE=standard, set VALIDATE_TYPESCRIPT_PRETTIER=false
      • If you set JAVASCRIPT_DEFAULT_STYLE=prettier, set VALIDATE_JAVASCRIPT_STANDARD=false
      • If you set TYPESCRIPT_DEFAULT_STYLE=prettier, set VALIDATE_TYPESCRIPT_STANDARD=false

    Finally, remove both JAVASCRIPT_DEFAULT_STYLE and TYPESCRIPT_DEFAULT_STYLE from your Super-linter configuration.

Upgrade from v5 to v6

This section helps you upgrade from super-linter v5 to v6.

eslint-config-airbnb-typescript

  • eslint-config-airbnb-typescript (a library to add TypeScript support to Airbnb's ESLint config) appears to be unmaintained. We had to remove it from super-linter because it was blocking updates to other dependencies, such as ESLint.

Checkstyle

  • Checkstyle embeds some configuration files, such as sun_checks.xml and google_checks.xml. There is no need to provide your own checkstyle configuration files if it matches one of the embedded ones. You can safely remove your Checkstyle configuration file if it matches one of the embedded ones.

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.

ERROR_ON_MISSING_EXEC_BIT

  • ERROR_ON_MISSING_EXEC_BIT has been deprecated to align the VALIDATE_BASH_EXEC check to the other linters, removing a surprising corner case. If VALIDATE_BASH_EXEC is set to true and a shell script is not marked as executable, the script will not pass validation. You can remove the ERROR_ON_MISSING_EXEC_BIT variable from your super-linter configuration.

Experimental batch workers

  • Experimental batch support is deprecated. You can safely remove the EXPERIMENTAL_BATCH_WORKER variable from your configuration.

Gitleaks

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 variables. For more information about how to ignore files with Jscpd, see the Jscpd 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.
