Project description
Sphinx Lint
Sphinx Lint is based on rstlint.py from CPython.
What is Sphinx Lint, what is it not?
sphinx-lint should:
- be reasonably fast so it's comfortable to use as a linter in your editor.
- be usable on a single file.
- not give any false positives (probably a utopia, but let's try).
- not spend too much effort finding errors that sphinx-build already finds (or can easily find).
- focus on finding errors that are not visible to sphinx-build.
Known issues
Currently Sphinx Lint can't work with tables, there's no understanding
of how linesplit works in tables, like:
+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------+---------------+
| Method | Checks that | New in |
+=========================================+=============================+===============+
| :meth:`assertEqual(a, b) | ``a == b`` | |
| <TestCase.assertEqual>` | | |
+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------+---------------+
as Sphinx Lint works line by line it will inevitably think the :meth: role is not closed properly.
To avoid false positives, some rules are skipped if we're in a table.
Releasing
One should use the populate-xpass.sh script before running tests
before releasing, to avoid creating a release introducing false
positives.
