Closes #255
This pull request introduces an experimental plugin system. TFLint adopts https://golang.org/pkg/plugin to achieve the goal.
Plugins are placed in the
~/.tflint.d/plugins
directory with the naming conventiontflint-ruleset-<NAME>.so
. You can explicitly enable the plugin by.tflint.hcl
as follows:That's all. Now you can freely add custom rules to TFLint!
Plugins are provided as a single
*.so
file and can be easily built withgo build --buildmode=plugin main.go
. You can see an example: https://github.com/terraform-linters/tflint-ruleset-templateThe plugin must satisfy the following constraints:

function is implemented under themain
package.Version

package.NewRules
function is implemented under themain
package.plugin.Rule
interface.Note the plugin package is only supported on Linux and macOS. Therefore, this plugin system does not work on Windows.
