danger-plugin-lint-report's Introduction

danger-plugin-lint-report

This plugin reads checkstyle / lint reports and posts issues and violations as inline comments in pull requests.

Requirements

The plugin does not execute any linter.

Instead, the plugin will search the file tree for lint reports according to the specified file mask and parse them.

The plugin requires a configuration object with a file mask to search for XML reports.

Supported Reports
