Problem Description

Grunt task ignores .markdownlint.json and only processes rules placed within its options.config.
A "markdownlint-cli" user with an existing configuration file (or someone wishing to store tool configuration externally) is SOL. Propose adding options.configFile to simplify external configuration; it would read the file's contents and store within options.config.

Proposed Gruntfile.coffee modification (partial)

  grunt.initConfig
    readme: 'README.md'
    markdownlint:
      options:
        configFile: '.markdownlint.json'
      default:
        src: [
          '<%= readme %>'
        ]

Alternatively (or meanwhile), document use of external file configuration.

Gruntfile.coffee using existing codebase without modification (partial)

  grunt.initConfig
    readme: 'README.md'
    markdownlint:
      options:
        config: require './.markdownlint.json'
      default:
        src: [
          '<%= readme %>'
        ]

Problem Description

Doesn't accept markdownlint config file.

Code Example

markdownlint: {
    all: {
        options: {
            config: './markdownlint.json'
        },
        src: [
            'src/**/*.md'
        ]
    }
},

I believe this would make things much simpler.

0.4.0 - Add MD044, enhance MD013/MD032/MD041/MD042/MD043, fix for MD038, dependencies.

1. Summary

Possible grunt-markdownlint bug.

On the stage “Registering Gruntfile tasks” after

Loading "grunt-markdownlint.js" tasks…OK

+ markdownlint

Loading "linter.js" tasks…OK

I get in console:

>> No tasks were registered or unregistered.

I’m not getting it for any of my 50 Grunt plugins.

2. MCVE

This configuration on GitHub, Travis CI build for it.

1. Gruntfile.coffee:

   module.exports = (grunt) ->
   
   	grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-markdownlint')
   	# [INFO] Or any another working Grunt plugins instead of “grunt-contrib-stylus”,
   	# “grunt-purgecss” and “merge-source-maps”
   	grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-stylus')
   	grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-purgecss')
   	grunt.loadNpmTasks('merge-source-maps')
   
   	grunt.initConfig
   
   		markdownlint:
   			# [INFO] Or any another valid Markdown file
   			src: ["KiraGoddess.md"]
   

2. package.json:

   {
   	"devDependencies": {
   		"coffeescript": "^2.7.0",
   		"grunt": "^1.5.3",
   		"grunt-contrib-stylus": "^1.2.0",
   		"grunt-markdownlint": "^3.1.5",
   		"grunt-purgecss": "^5.0.0",
   		"merge-source-maps": "^0.6.1"
   	}
   }
   

3. KiraGoddess.md:

   # Kira
   
   Goddess!
   

4. The part of the .travis.yml:

   install:
   - npm install -g grunt-cli
   - npm install
   
   script:
   - grunt markdownlint --verbose --stack
   

3. Behavior

Travis CI link:

	Reading "Gruntfile.coffee" Gruntfile…OK

	Registering Gruntfile tasks.

	Registering "grunt-markdownlint" local Npm module tasks.

	Reading /home/travis/build/Kristinita/SashaGruntDebugging/node_modules/grunt-markdownlint/package.json…OK

	Parsing /home/travis/build/Kristinita/SashaGruntDebugging/node_modules/grunt-markdownlint/package.json…OK

	Loading "grunt-markdownlint.js" tasks…OK

	+ markdownlint

	Loading "linter.js" tasks…OK

+	>> No tasks were registered or unregistered.

	Registering "grunt-contrib-stylus" local Npm module tasks.

	Reading /home/travis/build/Kristinita/SashaGruntDebugging/node_modules/grunt-contrib-stylus/package.json…OK

	Parsing /home/travis/build/Kristinita/SashaGruntDebugging/node_modules/grunt-contrib-stylus/package.json…OK

	Loading "stylus.js" tasks…OK

	+ stylus

	Registering "grunt-purgecss" local Npm module tasks.

	Reading /home/travis/build/Kristinita/SashaGruntDebugging/node_modules/grunt-purgecss/package.json…OK

	Parsing /home/travis/build/Kristinita/SashaGruntDebugging/node_modules/grunt-purgecss/package.json…OK

	Loading "purgecss.js" tasks…OK

	+ purgecss

	Registering "merge-source-maps" local Npm module tasks.

	Reading /home/travis/build/Kristinita/SashaGruntDebugging/node_modules/merge-source-maps/package.json…OK

	Parsing /home/travis/build/Kristinita/SashaGruntDebugging/node_modules/merge-source-maps/package.json…OK

	Loading "merge.js" tasks…OK

	+ merge-source-maps

	Initializing config…OK

As you can see in this console output, Grunt generate unexpected message solely after grunt-markdownlint linter.js loading. After registering and loading other Grunt plugins, Grunt doesn’t generate this message.

4. Environment

1. Operating system:

   1. Local — Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19041.1415]
   2. Travis CI — Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish

2. Node.js v18.9.0

3. grunt-cli v1.3.2, grunt v1.5.3

4. grunt-markdownlint 3.1.5

Thanks.

Problem Description

This package does not indicate which versions of Node are supported.
For example, your update of "markdownlint" caused the supported version
of Node to change in a patch release. This requires others to have to track
through your commits as well as those of your dependencies to figure out
WTH happened. While I see no reason for this package to have specified a
newer version of "markdownlint" (since its API did not change), this change
would have been caught by TravisCI if "engines" had been specified.

This fix should officially update the package version to 2.0.0, as should
have occurred for 1.1.5.

Fix to specify Node-6 LTS

...
"engines": {
    "node": ">= 6.14.12",
    "npm": ">= 3.10.10"
  }
}

CONTRIBUTING.md:

1. First place to go is the repository issues section[,] and I'll try to help as much as possible.
2. This repository is integrated with travis.ci for [continuous] integration.
   
3. Any fix/enhancement must come with a set of tests to ensure [it's] working well.
