Ciqar

Ciqar is a tool for creating useful and (at least somewhat) pretty HTML reports from different code quality analyzers output in case the analyzers do not provide sufficient report or you want a uniform style. The report is generated from a Jinja template so that it can be customized. At the moment, MyPy and Pyright are supported as analyzers.

The name is made up from how we pronounced the earliest project name cqr (which is the abbreviation for code quality reports) as a word. Do not confuse it with Cigar 😉

Have a look at two HTML reports for Ciqar version 0.1.0 (some violations were added purposely 😉):

• MyPy: https://aardjon.codeberg.page/ciqar/reports/mypy/
• Pyright: https://aardjon.codeberg.page/ciqar/reports/pyright/

Installation

Ciqar releases are available on PyPI, so you can easily install it via pip:

pip install ciqar

Alternatively you can install from source code:

cd /path/to/ciqar/source
pip install -e .

Usage

Tell Ciqar the location of the analyzer output and the paths to search for source files. The search path configuration is usually the same as for your static code analyzer.

ciqar --analyzer-result mypy:/path/to/mypy.log --source /path/to/src/dir --output /path/to/destination/dir

The "Analyzer result URL" (--analyzer-result) is a URL string with the scheme part defining which code analyzer has been used and the path containing the path to result data. The kind of the path object (e.g. directory or file, file type) depends on the chosen analyzer. Currently supported analyzers:

--source may be provided several times to search more than one directory. In addition (or alternatively) it is also possible to exclude files or directories from the configured search paths with the --exclude option, which may also be provided several times:

ciqar --source /path/to/src/dir --exclude /path/to/src/dir/examples --exclude /path/to/src/dir/snippet.py --analyzer-result [...] --output [...]

The --output option simply defines the directory to write the report into. Any existing files will be overwritten.

The optional --template parameter defines the report template to use, allowing to generate different kinds of reports. The template name must be specified by its name:

ciqar -r mypy:mypy.log -s src -o output -t html_detailed

At the moment the following report templates are available:

Examples (run from the repository root)

Create MyPy report for Ciqar:

mypy --config-file mypy.ini src test | tee mypy.log
ciqar -r mypy:mypy.log -s src -s test -o report-mypy

Create Pyright report for Ciqar:

pyright --outputjson src test > pyright.json
ciqar -r pyright:pyright.json -s src -s test -o report-pyright

Create ruff report for Ciqar:

ruff check src/ test/ --output-format json > ruff.json
ciqar -r ruff:ruff.json -s src -s test -o report-ruff

Some hints

For MyPy reports, it is necessary to set hide_error_codes = False in the config (which is default).
