syntaxer
Overview
Syntaxer make possible check syntax of scripts. It may be used in standalone mode and with git repository for checking changed and added files only. It is useful for for rails team, because you need to store only file with rules, and git hook will be generated for you.
Installation
To install syntaxer run
[sudo] gem install syntaxer
Usage with rails
1) Add to Gemfile
gem "syntaxer"
2)
bundle install
3)
rake syntaxer:install
It creates config/syntaxer.rb file with common rails options, you may edit it as you wish, and .git/hooks/pre-commit script, which will run syntax checking before every commit.
Standalone usage
Example of usage:
Run syntax checking in current directory recursively
syntaxer
Run syntax checking in another directory recursively. Make sure to add ‘/’ at the end.
syntaxer -p ./developement/
Install hook to git repository in current directory
syntaxer -i -r git
Indicate custom config file
syntaxer -c config.rb
Example of syntaxer.rb file:
syntaxer do
languages :ruby, :haml, :sass do # type of files to be watched
folders 'app/**/*', 'lib/**/*' # folders to be checked
end
end
You can specify multiple rules, for example you want to check only ruby files in app/controllers/* and only haml in app/views/*, you can write the next in your “initializers/syntaxer.rb” file:
syntaxer do
languages :ruby do
folders 'app/controllers/*'
end
lang :haml do # lang is an alias for languages
f 'app/views/*' #f is an alias for folders
end
#all supported types at app/**
languages :all do
folders 'app/**'
end
ignore_folders 'app/models/**' # this folders will be deleted from all languages
end
Languages available for now are: ruby, erb, haml, sass. You can extend this by your own, how to do that will be described below.
Options for usage
-c, --config specify config file
-p, --path path for syntax check. If this option is not specify it checks files from current directory
-r, --repo indicate type of repository. Available git and svn at this time.
-i, --install generates pre-commit hook and put it in .git/hooks folder. It checks syntax of languages what are indicated in options file before every commit
-q, --quite disable information messages. Is needed when you only want to know the result: 1 or 0
-l, --loud informate about every checked file
-W, --warnings show warning messages
-h, --help show help and options describe above.

-
Fork the project
-
Start a feature/bugfix branch
-
Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
-
Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
-
Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.

Have to fix the problem with only created repository and initial commit with GIT repository
-
Add SVN support
