CHANGELOG.md

Master

Note: The default branch for the SwiftLint git repository will be renamed from master to main on September 1st. Please update any code or automation accordingly.

Breaking

• SwiftLint now requires Swift 5.6 or higher to build, and macOS 12 or higher to run.
  JP Simard

• Code Climate reports now use SHA256 strings as the issue fingerprint values.
  JP Simard

• Make comma_inheritance an opt-in rule.
  Steve Madsen #4027

• The autocorrect command that was deprecated in 0.43.0 has now been completely removed. Use --fix instead.
  JP Simard

• Remove the AutomaticTestableRule protocol. All examples listed in rules are now tested automatically to make sure they are correct.
  SimplyDanny

• Deprecate the --in-process-sourcekit command line flag. SwiftLint now always uses an in-process SourceKit.

• Make duplicate_imports rule correctable. Fix duplicate_imports rule reporting redundant violations when more than one duplicate is present.
  Timofey Solonin

• Support for building SwiftLint with bazel.
  JP Simard

• Support for writing custom private native rules when building with bazel.
  JP Simard Keith Smiley #3516

  JP Simard

• Make colon rule about 7x faster, finding some previously missed cases.
  JP Simard

• Introduce new configuration option include_compiler_directives (true by default) for the indentation_width rule that allows to ignore compiler directives in the indentation analysis. This is especially useful if one (or a formatter) prefers to have compiler directives always at the very beginning of a line.
  SimplyDanny #4030

Bug Fixes

• Fix false positive in self_in_property_initialization rule when using closures inside didSet and other accessors.
  Marcelo Fabri #4041

To configure the rule for these identifiers, you need to use the keys iOSApplicationExtension_deployment_target, macOSApplicationExtension_deployment_target, watchOSApplicationExtension_deployment_target, and tvOSApplicationExtension_deployment_target. Extentions default to their counterparts unless they are explicitly defined.
  tahabebek #4004

• Rewrite operator_usage_whitespace rule using SwiftSyntax, fixing false positives and false negatives.
  Note that this rule doesn't catch violations around return arrows (->) anymore - they are already handled by return_arrow_whitespace.
  Marcelo Fabri #3965 #3668 #2728

• Support arrays for the included and excluded options when defining a custom rule.
  Marcelo Fabri

0.47.0: Smart Appliance

Breaking

• SwiftLint now requires Swift 5.5 or higher to build.

  JP Simard

• SwiftLint now requires at least Swift 5.0 installed in order to lint files.
  Marcelo Fabri

Experimental

Breaking

• SwiftLint now requires Swift 5.4 or higher to build.
  JP Simard

Experimental

• None.

Enhancements

• Add self_in_property_initialization rule to catch uses of self inside an inline closure used for initializing a variable.

  onato #3560

• Re-add --format flag to reformat Swift files using SourceKit. Only applied with --fix/--autocorrect.
  JP Simard #3571

0.43.0: Clothes Line Interface

Breaking

• The command line syntax has slightly changed due to migrating from the Commandant command line parsing library to swift-argument-parser. For the most part the breaking changes are all to make the syntax more unix compliant and intuitive to use. For example, commands such as swiftlint --help or swiftlint -h now work as expected. The help output from various commands has greatly improved as well. Notably: swiftlint autocorrect was removed in favor of swiftlint --fix. Previous commands should continue to work temporarily to help with the transition. Please let us know if there's a command that no longer works and we'll attempt to add a bridge to help with its transition.
  JP Simard

• Configuration files now consistently have their included/excluded relative file paths applied relative to their location in the file system. Previously the root configuration file applied these relative to the current working directory, but nested configurations applied these to their location in the file system.

  Otavio Cordeiro #3452

• Tweak the auto-correction result console output for clarity.
  mokagio #3522

• Allow configuring related USRs to skip in UnusedDeclarationRule by specifying a list of USRs in the related_usrs_to_skip key. For example you might have custom source tooling that does something with types conforming to a procotol even if that type is never explicitly referenced by other code.
  JP Simard

• Make strong_iboutlet rule correctable.
  MaxHaertwig

• Add legacy_objc_type opt-in rule to warn against using bridged Objective-C reference types instead of Swift value types.

0.34.0: Anti-Static Wool Dryer Balls

Breaking

• To enable collecting rules, many breaking changes to SwiftLintFramework's public API were made the Linter type was significantely changed, and a new CollectedLinter type was introduced. Many public SwiftLintFramework APIs that interacted with Linter have also been affected. More new types and protocols were added such as RuleStorage, AnyCollectingRule, CollectingRule, CollectingCorrectableRule. We are not aware of any significant users of the SwiftLintFramework library, so if you are affected by this, please reach out to SwiftLint contributors by filing a GitHub issue about your use case.
  Elliott Williams JP Simard

Experimental

• Add a two-stage CollectingRule protocol to support rules that collect data from all files before validating. Collecting rules implement a collect method which is called once for every file, before any file is checked for violations. By collecting, rules can be written which validate across multiple files for things like unused declarations.
  Elliott Williams #2431

0.18.1: Misaligned Drum

Breaking

• None.

Enhancements

• None.

Bug Fixes

• Compile releases in the 'Release' configuration rather than 'Debug'.

0.18.0: Misaligned Drum

Breaking

• Replace YamlSwift with Yams. SwiftLint no longer includes YamlSwift. If your project implicitly depends on YamlSwift, you need to modify it to depend on YamlSwift explicitly.
  norio-nomura #1412

• Yams interprets YAML more strictly than YamlSwift, so if your YAML configurations previously worked with SwiftLint but didn't fully conform to the YAML 1.2 standard, you'll need to fix those validation errors. For example:

  custom_rules:
    wrong_regex:
      name: "wrong regex"
      regex: "((assert|precondition)\(false)" # '\' in "" means escape sequence
    strict_regex:
      name: "strict regex"
      regex: '((assert|precondition)\(false)' # Use single quotes

Enhancements

• Support compiling with Xcode 8.3 and Swift 3.1.

  • Otherwise:
    • if the attribute is applied to a variable, it should be on the same line
    • if it's applied to a type or function, it should be on the line above
    • if it's applied to an import (the only option is @testable import), it should be on the same line. You can also configure what attributes should be always on a new line or on the same line as the declaration with the always_on_same_line and always_on_line_above keys.
