Ignoring files |
For some of the code analysis tools, it is important to ignore some files within the plugin because they might not be fixable, like a third party library. The all code analysis commands in this project ignore files and directories listed in the thirdpartylibs.xml plugin file.
Specifically for the codechecker
command, you can ignore a single line, a section of a file or the whole file by
using specific PHP comments. For details see this
PHP_CodeSniffer wiki page.
In addition, you can ignore additional files by defining IGNORE_PATHS
and/or IGNORE_NAMES
environment variables
in your CI workflow file. These environment variables wont work for Grunt tasks, but will for everything else.
.github/workflow/*
example:
- name: Install moodle-plugin-ci
run: |
moodle-plugin-ci install --plugin ./plugin --db-host=127.0.0.1
env:
DB: ${{ matrix.database }}
MOODLE_BRANCH: ${{ matrix.moodle-branch }}
IGNORE_PATHS: 'vendor/widget,javascript/min-lib.js'
IGNORE_NAMES: '*-m.js,bad_lib.php'
.travis.yml
example:
env:
global:
- MOODLE_BRANCH=MOODLE_32_STABLE
- IGNORE_PATHS=vendor/widget,javascript/min-lib.js
- IGNORE_NAMES=*-m.js,bad_lib.php
matrix:
- DB=pgsql
- DB=mysqli
Both environment variables take a CSV value. For IGNORE_PATHS
, it takes relative file paths to ignore. File paths
can be a simple string like foo/bar
or a regular expression like /^foo\/bar/
. For IGNORE_NAMES
, it takes
file names to ignore. File names can be a simple string like foo.php
, a glob like *.php
or a regular expression
like /\.php$/
.
If you need to specify ignore paths for a specific command, then you can define additional environment variables. The
variable names are the same as above, but prefixed with COMMANDNAME_
.
.github/workflow/*
example:
- name: Install moodle-plugin-ci
run: |
moodle-plugin-ci install --plugin ./plugin --db-host=127.0.0.1
env:
DB: ${{ matrix.database }}
MOODLE_BRANCH: ${{ matrix.moodle-branch }}
CODECHECKER_IGNORE_PATHS: 'vendor/widget,javascript/min-lib.js'
CODECHECKER_IGNORE_NAMES: '*-m.js,bad_lib.php'
MUSTACHE_IGNORE_NAMES: 'broken.mustache'
.travis.yml
example:
env:
global:
- MOODLE_BRANCH=MOODLE_32_STABLE
- CODECHECKER_IGNORE_PATHS=vendor/widget,javascript/min-lib.js
- CODECHECKER_IGNORE_NAMES=*-m.js,bad_lib.php
- PHPUNIT_IGNORE_PATHS=$IGNORE_PATHS,cli
matrix:
- DB=pgsql
- DB=mysqli
In the above example, we are adding the cli
path to our ignore paths for the PHPUnit command (this is also how you
can ignore files for code coverage). Please note that this is a complete override and there is no merging with
IGNORE_PATHS
and IGNORE_NAMES
. So, in the above, the PHPUnit command would not ignore the file names
defined in IGNORE_NAMES
.
