Introduction

The syntaxchecks are for PHP, Python, Ruby, Yaml and Crontab files. It is easy to use and implement into continuous integration tools like Jenkins, Bamboo and Bitbucket Pipeline.

Requirements

• Git >= 1.7
• PHP >= 5.6
• Python >= 2.7.12
• Ruby >= 2.3.1

# Installation on Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt install git php-cli python ruby

Implemented checks

• Bash
• PHP
• Python
• Ruby
• YAML
• Crontabs

Parameter

Parameter	Description	Example
-p	Path to the project	-p "/tmp/project"
-s	Enable strict mode (Default: off)	-s
-a	Check all files in path	-a
-c	Check files in last commits	-c 1
-r	Overwrite exclude regex	-r "^./vendor/.$"

Usage

Manual execution

# Check all files in project
./syntaxchecks.sh -p "/tmp/project" -a

# Check all files in project and stop at the first error
./syntaxchecks.sh -p "/tmp/project" -a -s

# Check all files in the last 5 commits of the project and stop at the first error
./syntaxchecks.sh -p "/tmp/project" -c 5 -s

Makefile

.PHONY: syntaxcheck
syntaxcheck:
        @echo "==> Syntaxcheck started"
        wget https://github.com/neikei/syntaxchecks/archive/master.zip
        unzip master.zip && rm master.zip
        syntaxchecks-master/syntaxchecks.sh -p "`pwd`" -a -s
        rm -rf syntaxchecks-master
        @echo -e "==> Syntaxcheck finished\n"

Jenkins

# Install syntaxchecks in the home path of the jenkins application user
su - jenkins
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/neikei/syntaxchecks.git

# Build step to execute the syntaxchecks with Jenkins
~/syntaxchecks/syntaxchecks.sh -p "`pwd`" -c 1 -s

Bamboo

# Install syntaxchecks in the home path of the bamboo application user
su - bamboo
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/neikei/syntaxchecks.git

# Build step to execute the syntaxchecks with Bamboo
~/syntaxchecks/syntaxchecks.sh -p "${bamboo.build.working.directory}" -c 1 -s

Bitbucket Pipelines

image: php:7.1.1

pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        script:
          - apt-get update && apt-get install -y unzip wget git php-cli python ruby
          - wget https://github.com/neikei/syntaxchecks/archive/master.zip
          - unzip master.zip && rm master.zip
          - syntaxchecks-master/syntaxchecks.sh -p "`pwd`" -c 1 -s
          - rm -rf syntaxchecks-master

Travis CI

script:
  - wget https://github.com/neikei/syntaxchecks/archive/master.zip
  - unzip master.zip && rm master.zip
  - syntaxchecks-master/syntaxchecks.sh -p "`pwd`" -a -s

Regular expressions

# find files for syntaxchecks
regex_bash_files="^.*\.sh$"
regex_php_files="^.*\.(php|php.skel|php.skel.*)$"
regex_yaml_files="^.*\.(yaml|yml)$"
regex_python_files="^.*\.py$"
regex_ruby_files="^.*(\.rb|Vagrantfile)$"
regex_crontab_files="^.*\.cron$"
# exclude vendor and cache directories
regex_exclude="^.*/(vendor|cache)/.*$"

Third party software

• chkcrontab - Modified to check crontabs without defiened user.

Example crontab format:

# m h  dom mon dow   command
0 5 * * 1 echo "Hello world!"
