1This folder contains lint scripts.
2
3Running locally
4===============
5
6To run linters locally with the same versions as the CI environment use
7the _lint.py_ helper script which runs checks inside the CI container:
8
9```sh
10./ci/lint.py
11```
12
13Extra arguments are passed to `cargo run -- ...` in the container so you can do:
14
15```sh
16./ci/lint.py --help
17./ci/lint.py --lint=py_lint
18```
19
20test runner
21===========
22
23To run all the lint checks in the test runner outside the container you first need
24to install the rust toolchain using your package manager of choice or
25[rustup](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install).
26
27Then you can use:
28
29```sh
30( cd ./test/lint/test_runner/ && cargo fmt && cargo clippy && RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo run )
31```
32
33If you wish to run individual lint checks, run the test_runner with
34`--lint=TEST_TO_RUN` arguments. If running with `cargo run`, arguments after
35`--` are passed to the binary you are running e.g.:
36
37```sh
38( cd ./test/lint/test_runner/ && RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo run -- --lint=doc --lint=trailing_whitespace )
39```
40
41To see a list of all individual lint checks available in test_runner, use `-h`
42or `--help`:
43
44```sh
45( cd ./test/lint/test_runner/ && RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo run -- --help )
46```
47
48#### Dependencies
49
50| Lint test | Dependency |
51|-----------|:----------:|
52| [`lint-python.py`](/test/lint/lint-python.py) | [lief](https://github.com/lief-project/LIEF)
53| [`lint-python.py`](/test/lint/lint-python.py) | [mypy](https://github.com/python/mypy)
54| [`lint-python.py`](/test/lint/lint-python.py) | [pyzmq](https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq)
55| [`lint-shell.py`](/test/lint/lint-shell.py) | [ShellCheck](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck)
56| `py_lint` | [ruff](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff)
57| markdown link check | [mlc](https://github.com/becheran/mlc)
58
59Dependency versions and installation instructions are available in the [CI setup](../../ci/lint/01_install.sh) and the [lint_imagefile](../../ci/lint_imagefile) (for tools where an OCI imagefile exists).
60
61Please be aware that on Linux distributions all dependencies are usually available as packages, but could be outdated.
62
63#### Running the tests
64
65Individual tests can be run by directly calling the test script, e.g.:
66
67```
68test/lint/lint-files.py
69```
70
71check-doc.py
72============
73Check for missing documentation of command line options.
74
75commit-script-check.sh
76======================
77Verification of [scripted diffs](/doc/developer-notes.md#scripted-diffs).
78Scripted diffs are only assumed to run on the latest LTS release of Ubuntu. Running them on other operating systems
79might require installing GNU tools, such as GNU sed.
80
81git-subtree-check.sh
82====================
83Run this script from the root of the repository to verify that a subtree matches the contents of
84the commit it claims to have been updated to.
85
86```
87Usage: test/lint/git-subtree-check.sh [-r] DIR [COMMIT]
88       test/lint/git-subtree-check.sh -?
89```
90
91- `DIR` is the prefix within the repository to check.
92- `COMMIT` is the commit to check, if it is not provided, HEAD will be used.
93- `-r` checks that subtree commit is present in repository.
94
95To do a full check with `-r`, make sure that you have fetched the upstream repository branch in which the subtree is
96maintained:
97* for `src/crc32c`: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/crc32c-subtree.git (branch bitcoin-fork)
98* for `src/crypto/ctaes`: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/ctaes.git (branch master)
99* for `src/ipc/libmultiprocess`: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/libmultiprocess (branch master)
100* for `src/leveldb`: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/leveldb-subtree.git (branch bitcoin-fork)
101* for `src/minisketch`: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/minisketch.git (branch master)
102* for `src/secp256k1`: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1.git (branch master)
103
104Keep this list in sync with `fn get_subtrees()` in the lint runner.
105
106To do so, add the upstream repository as remote:
107
108```
109git remote add --fetch secp256k1 https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1.git
110```
111
112lint_ignore_dirs.py
113===================
114Add list of common directories to ignore when running tests
115
