sphinxcontrib-shellcheck

The shellcheck Sphinx builder is an extension that uses the shellcheck utility to lint shell code in the documentation.

Interpreter

The extension has been developed and tested with Python 2.7, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 under Linux (Debian, Ubuntu), and Microsoft Windows

Installation

The extension is on PyPI, so:

$ pip install sphinxcontrib-shellcheck

Add the shellcheck extension to the extension list in your Sphinx conf.py file to enable it:

extensions = [
    ...
    "sphinxcontrib.shellcheck",
    ...
]

Usage

For example, if a reStructuredText file example.rst has the following content:

Follow these instructions:

    .. code-block:: bash

        $ github_user=myname
        $ git clone \
              https://github.com/"${github_user}"/ \
              myrepo.git
        Cloning into 'myrepo'...
        ...
        $ cd myrepo
        $ export MYREPO_DIR=${PWD}
        $ echo "${myvar}"

And all will be good

Then with the extension installed:

$ sphinx-build -b shellcheck . _build example.rst
Running Sphinx v1.8.3

Line 13, column 17 [2154]: myvar is referenced but not assigned.
build succeeded.

Look for any errors in the above output or in _build/shellcheck/output.txt

Configuration variables

These are the configurable variables of the extension:

  • shellcheck_dialects (list of strings): shell dialects to be linted. The default dialects are those supported by shellcheck, ["sh", "bash", "dash", "ksh"], and only a subset of these is valid.

  • shellcheck_executable (string): name of the shellcheck executable (potentially full path to it too). The default is "shellcheck".

  • shellcheck_prompt (string): single character representing the terminal prompt. The default is $.

  • shellcheck_debug (integer): flag that indicates whether debug information shall be printed via the Sphinx logger (1) or not (0). The default is 0. This configuration option is only useful while developing the extension.

These configuration variables can be overriden via the Sphinx configuration file conf.py, or via the -D option of the sphinx-build command. For example:

$ sphinx-build -b shellcheck \
   -D shellcheck_dialects=bash,ksh \
   -D shellcheck_executable=shellcheck-stable \
   -D shellcheck_prompt=$ \
   -D shellcheck_debug=1 \
   . _build example.rst
