A pre-commit hook for validating files against jsonschemas.

Project description

check-jsonschema

A pre-commit hook for checking files against a JSONSchema, built using the python jsonschema package. The schema may be specified as a local or remote (HTTP or HTTPS) file.

Remote files are automatically downloaded and cached if possible.

Supported Hooks

The most generic hook is this one:

  • check-jsonschema: Validate JSON or YAML files against a jsonschema on disk or fetched via HTTP(S)

These hooks check known files against schemas provided by Schemastore:

  • check-github-workflows: Validate GitHub Workflows in .github/workflows/

  • check-github-actions: Validate GitHub Actions in .github/actions/ or the action.yml at the repo root

  • check-travis: Validate Travis config

These hooks check known files against schemas provided by other sources:

  • check-azure-pipelines: Validate Azure Pipelines config against the schema provided by Microsoft

  • check-readthedocs: Validate ReadTheDocs yaml config against the schema provided by ReadTheDocs

Example Usage

Validate GitHub Workflows with Schemastore

You can use the schemastore github workflow schema to lint your GitHub workflow files. All you need to add to your .pre-commit-config.yaml is this:

- repo: https://github.com/sirosen/check-jsonschema
  rev: 0.8.1
  hooks:
    - id: check-github-workflows

Applying an arbitrary schema to files

There is a more general hook available for running any jsonschema against a file or set of files. For example, to implement the GitHub workflow check manually, you could do this:

- repo: https://github.com/sirosen/check-jsonschema
  rev: 0.8.1
  hooks:
    - id: check-jsonschema
      name: "Check GitHub Workflows"
      files: ^\.github/workflows/
      types: [yaml]
      args: ["--schemafile", "https://json.schemastore.org/github-workflow"]

And to check with the builtin schema that a GitHub workflow sets timeout-minutes on all jobs:

- repo: https://github.com/sirosen/check-jsonschema
  rev: 0.8.1
  hooks:
    - id: check-jsonschema
      name: "Check GitHub Workflows set timeout-minutes"
      files: ^\.github/workflows/
      types: [yaml]
      args: ["--builtin-schema", "github-workflows-require-timeout"]

Standalone Usage

You can also pip install check-jsonschema to run the tool manually.

For full usage info:

check-jsonschema --help

CLI Options

These options apply both to standalone usage and pre-commit hook usage.

--schemafile

The path or URL for a file containing a schema to use.

This option is required unless --builtin-schema is used.

--no-cache

Do not cache HTTP(S) downloaded schemas.

--disable-format

JSON Schema defines a "format" attribute for string fields but does not require that any validation for formats be applied.

Starting in version 0.6.0, check-jsonschema will automatically check some formats by default. This flag disables these checks.

Because "format" checking is not done by all JSON Schema tools, it is possible that a file may validate under a schema with a different tool, but fail with check-jsonschema if --disable-format is not set.

--cache-filename

The name to use for caching a remote (HTTP or HTTPS) schema.

Defaults to using the last slash-delimited part of the URI.

--default-filetype

The default filetype to assume on instance files when they are detected neither as JSON nor as YAML.

For example, pass --default-filetype yaml to instruct that files which have no extension should be treated as YAML.

By default, this is not set and files without a detected type of JSON or YAML will fail.

--builtin-schema

The name of a builtin schema from check-jsonschema to use. Use of this option replaces --schemafile, and the two are mutually exclusive.

The following values are valid and refer to vendored copies of schemastore schemas:

  • vendor.azure-pipelines
  • vendor.github-actions
  • vendor.github-workflows
  • vendor.travis

The following values are valid and refer to custom schemas:

  • github-workflows-require-timeout -- This schema checks that a GitHub workflow explicitly sets timeout-minutes on all jobs. (The default value for this is 6 hours.)

--failover-builtin-schema

Specify one of the vendor schemas which should be used if fetching --schemafile fails.

For example, to download the latest travis schema, but failover to the vendored copy, use

check-jsonschema --schemafile "https://json.schemastore.org/travis" --failover-builtin-schema vendor.travis

This is what is used by the hooks provided by check-jsonschema.
