This tool is no longer maintained. Its functionality is included in the silence-lint-error
package.
Add lint-fixme
comments to every occurrence of a fixit
error.
Install with pip:
python -m pip install silence-fixit-error
Call the tool with a rule you want to add fixme
comments for and the paths to
the files:
silence-fixit-error fixit.rules:CollapseIsinstanceChecks path/to/files/ path/to/more/files/
Once an auto-fix is available for this rule, we can remove the fixme
comments
and run that auto-fix:
fix-silenced-fixit-error fixit.rules:CollapseIsinstanceChecks path/to/files/ path/to/more/files/
When adding a new rule (or enabling more rules) in fixit
on a large code-base,
fixing the existing violations can be too large a task to do quickly. However,
starting to check the rule sooner will prevent new violations from being
introduced.
Ignoring existing violations is a quick way to allow new rules to be enabled. You can then burn down the existing violations over time.
This tool makes it easy to find and ignore all current violations of a rule so that it can be enabled.
