Integrates ShellCheck into VS Code, a linter for Shell scripts.
vscode-shellcheck (this "extension"), requires shellcheck (the awesome static analysis tool for shell scripts) to work.
Since v0.10.0, precompiled shellcheck binaries are bundled for these platforms:
- Linux (x86_64)
- macOS (x86_64)
- Windows: precompiled 32bit binary will be used on both 32bit and 64bit Windows, please note that this requires you have WoW64 enabled, although it's not a problem for Desktop users.
- Run
Install Extension
command from Command Palette. - Search and choose
shellcheck
.
There are various options that can be configured by making changes to your user or workspace preferences.
Default options are:
{
"shellcheck.enable": true,
"shellcheck.enableQuickFix": true,
"shellcheck.run": "onType",
"shellcheck.executablePath": "", // Priority: user defined > bundled shellcheck binary > "shellcheck"
"shellcheck.exclude": [],
"shellcheck.customArgs": [],
"shellcheck.ignorePatterns": {
"**/*.xonshrc": true,
"**/*.xsh": true,
"**/*.zsh": true,
"**/*.zshrc": true,
"**/zshrc": true,
"**/*.zprofile": true,
"**/zprofile": true,
"**/*.zlogin": true,
"**/zlogin": true,
"**/*.zlogout": true,
"**/zlogout": true,
"**/*.zshenv": true,
"**/zshenv": true,
"**/*.zsh-theme": true
},
"shellcheck.ignoreFileSchemes": ["git", "gitfs"]
}
The shellcheck.ignorePatterns
works exactly the same as search.exclude
, read more about glob patterns here
For example:
{
"shellcheck.ignorePatterns": {
"**/*.zsh": true,
"**/*.zsh*": true,
"**/.git/*.sh": true,
"**/folder/**/*.sh": true
}
}
The auto-fixable errors can be fixed automatically on save by using the following configuration:
{
"editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
"source.fixAll.shellcheck": true
}
}
Alternatively, you can fix all errors on demand by running the command Fix All in the VS Code Command Palette.
By default the linter will lint as you type. Alternatively, set shellcheck.run
to onSave
if you want to lint only when the file is saved (works best if auto-save is on).
{
"shellcheck.run": "onType" // also: "onSave"
}
By default all shellcheck checks are performed and reported on as necessary. To globally ignore certain checks in all files, add the "SC identifiers" to shellcheck.exclude
. For example, to exclude SC1017:
{
"shellcheck.exclude": ["1017"]
}
In order to get it work, you need a "shim" script, and then, just remember, do not try to construct command line arguments for shellcheck yourself.
Here is a simple "shim" script to get start with (See discussion: #24):
#!/bin/bash
exec docker run --rm -i -v "$PWD:/mnt:ro" koalaman/shellcheck:v0.7.0 "$@"
