Codacy SQLFluff

This is the docker engine we use at Codacy to have SQLFluff support. You can also create a docker to integrate the tool and language of your choice! See the codacy-engine-scala-seed repository for more information.

How to run SQLFluff for the dialect of my codebase

By default, we run SQLFluff with the dialect Postgres because the flag --dialect is mandatory. If your codebase is based on another dialect above, please create a simple .sqlfluff config file in the root of your repository with the following content (let's use Oracle as an example):

[sqlfluff]
dialect = oracle

It will run for all existing rules for the dialect Oracle

If you want to ignore some of the rules, please use the same configuration file:

[sqlfluff]
dialect = postgres
exclude_rules = LT01,RF01

It will run for all existing rules, excluding LT01 and RF01, for the dialect Oracle

Usage

You can create the docker by doing:

docker build --no-cache -t codacy-sqlfluff:latest .

The docker is ran with the following command:

docker run -it -v $srcDir:/src codacy-sqlfluff:latest

Generate Docs

1. Update the version in requirements.txt

2. Run the DocGenerator to update all the patterns/descriptions and the patterns.xml (from all-patterns test)

   python<version> src/doc_generator.py

Test

We use the codacy-plugins-test to test our external tools integration. You can follow the instructions there to make sure your tool is working as expected.
