The goals of ShellCheck are:
|
|
|
|
- To point out and clarify typical beginner's syntax issues,
|
|
that causes a shell to give cryptic error messages.
|
|
|
|
- To point out and clarify typical intermediate level semantic problems,
|
|
that causes a shell to behave strangely and counter-intuitively.
|
|
|
|
- To point out subtle caveats, corner cases and pitfalls, that may cause an
|
|
advanced user's otherwise working script to fail under future circumstances.
|
|
|
|
ShellCheck is written in Haskell, and requires GHC, Parsec3 and Text.Regex.
|
|
To build the JSON interface and run the unit tests, it also requires QuickCheck2 and JSON.
|
|
|
|
On Ubuntu and similar, these are called:
|
|
ghc6 libghc6-parsec3-dev libghc6-quickcheck2-dev libghc6-json-dev libghc-regex-compat-dev
|
|
|
|
Executables can be built with cabal. Tests currently still rely on a Makefile.

|
Happy ShellChecking!
